Key Takeaways from RE-PAX India 2026

EnergyTag’s Head of APAC, Shailesh Telang, joined the panel discussion “Energy Storage – Enabling a Reliable Renewable Future” at the RE PAX Summit in Nashik with RenewableMirror.

The discussion explored how energy storage is becoming a core part of India’s evolving power system—not only to integrate more renewable energy but also to improve reliability, flexibility, and the delivery of clean power when needed.

Shailesh highlighted the growing role of storage in hybrid, round-the-clock and firm renewable-power solutions, alongside the need for market and regulatory reforms that better value flexibility. These include real-time price signals, capacity mechanisms, demand-side participation and more credible time-based tracking of clean electricity.

As corporate buyers increasingly seek reliable and verifiable clean power, granular matching can help connect renewable generation with electricity consumption more accurately across time.

The key message: energy storage is no longer only about appearing green. It increasingly makes strong system and business sense.
