Experts Urge Focus on Integrating India's Expanding Clean Energy Capacity
India has expanded its non-fossil-fuel power capacity to 283.46 GW, including 274.68 GW from renewables, becoming the world's third-largest renewable energy installer. Experts at a recent seminar emphasized shifting focus from capacity addition to effective integration, highlighting challenges like transmission constraints, energy storage shortages, and procurement uncertainties. Approximately 8,133 GWh of solar power was curtailed due to grid limitations. India will need 336 GWh of energy storage by 2029-30 and 411 GWh by 2031-32 to maintain grid stability and optimize clean energy use.
