Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are expected to play a major role in the global energy transition by addressing the intermittency of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.

In India, BESS demand is strong with increasing renewable energy capacity, grid modernisation and supportive government policies.

These systems help improve grid stability, reduce peak power costs, allow for energy arbitrage and increase power reliability for utilities and industries.

Rising investments, falling battery prices and growing electrification are expected to drive the uptake of BESS.

Here are 3 stocks from the BESS space with strong expansion plans.

#1 Waaree Energies

First on our list is Waaree Energies.

Waaree Energies is India's largest integrated solar energy company and one of the country's leading renewable energy manufacturers.

The company manufactures solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and solar cells while offering end-to-end renewable energy solutions, including EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction), battery energy storage systems (BESS), inverters, transformers, smart meters, green hydrogen solutions, and solar project development.

BESS is emerging as a major opportunity for Waaree Energies. The BESS capabilities are being built out with a planned capacity of 20 gigawatt hours.

Out of that, phase one, 3.5 gigawatt hour is expected in the current financial year, and phase two of 16.5 gigawatt hour by next financial year. The total capex outlay is approximately Rs 100 bn. This facility will emerge as India's largest integrated advanced cell chemistry and pack manufacturing hub.

Waaree Energies is targeting data centers, utilities, C&I customers, and the residential segments altogether for its BESS capabilities.
