Maharashtra's energy regulator MERC has proposed mandatory battery energy storage system (BESS) requirements for renewable projects seeking grid connectivity, along with new regulations on open access, solar-hour access, and network charge exemptions to align with the state's Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Policy 2025-36.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must plan for battery storage in all Maharashtra renewable projects now as connectivity rules tighten, opening new chances to supply storage services and forced reconfiguration of existing projects without approval. This affects project design and grid access timing directly.
