India's Clean Energy Capacity Surpasses Fossil Fuels Amid Integration Challenges
India's power system has reached a milestone where clean energy capacity (331.7 GW) surpasses fossil-fuel capacity (302 GW), signaling a shift in infrastructure investment despite coal still generating about 70% of electricity. However, challenges remain, including limited grid connectivity and storage capacity, causing delays in integrating new renewable sources like solar. Transmission infrastructure lags behind generation capacity, leading to operational and legal issues as supply and demand must be balanced in real time.
