The economics of a solar project should be tested under a conservative banking scenario, including a no-banking downside case. The project should remain economically viable even if banking benefits are reduced or withdrawn over time. Any available banking benefits can then be treated as an additional upside and added to assess the incremental savings they create.

NTPC is seeking technology providers to demonstrate sodium-ion batteries in a grid-connected battery energy storage system, with the pilot designed to assess the technology under Indian grid and climatic conditions.
