India's clean-energy challenge is no longer generation, but adoption: Experts
Experts argue that India's primary challenge in the clean-energy sector has shifted from generation capacity to infrastructure adoption and grid integration. Significant curtailment of solar power due to transmission constraints highlights the urgent need for better storage and distribution systems.
Why it matters
Effective grid integration is critical for India to meet its climate goals and ensure the reliability of its rapidly growing renewable energy sector.
After building one of the world's largest renewable-energy bases, India must now turn its attention to ensuring that the electricity generated from clean sources is effectively integrated into the power system, experts said on Wednesday.They said the country has reached a stage where the focus should move beyond adding generation capacity to improving how clean power is transmitted, stored, procured and utilised across sectors.According to an official statement, India has installed 283.46 GW of non-fossil-fuel power capacity, of which 274.68 GW comes from renewable sources.
