How battery energy storage can power us to net zero
Annual additions of grid-scale battery energy storage globally must rise to an average of 80 GW per year from now to 2030. Here's why that needs to happen.
Amit holds a Ph.D. in solar energy and has distinguished
himself as a Fulbright Scholar at the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the USA and a Chevening Fellow at King's College, London. He is Global Storage Lead at the World Bank, overseeing a $2 billion renewable portfolio
across South Asia.
Amit spearheads the World Bank's Energy Storage
Partnership (ESP) efforts driving impactful initiatives in this
critical area. He has gained invaluable experience working at prestigious institutions such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the Clinton Foundation. Furthermore, Amit's contributions extend beyond his professional achievements. He has authored two published books on climate change policy and waste-to-energy, alongside numerous international peer-reviewed journal publications.

Solar parks follow a “plug and play” model for potential investors, by designating and developing one or more blocks of land as a concentrated zone for solar development.
