The International Solar Alliance (ISA) engaged with Rajasthan's power distribution companies to enhance technical cooperation, recognizing the state's achievements in solar energy and grid digitisation. Rajasthan has installed over 4,000 MW of decentralised solar capacity under the PM Kusum scheme and ranks among the top three in rooftop solar installations nationally. The state is also developing decentralised battery energy storage systems to optimize surplus solar power use and improve supply during peak hours. Officials highlighted progress in smart metering and infrastructure upgrades to enhance energy efficiency and reduce losses.
