India Faces Grid Management Challenges Amid Growing Solar Capacity and Energy Transition
India's power sector is transitioning from historic deficits to daytime surpluses driven by expanding solar capacity, creating new grid management challenges. States like Kerala and Maharashtra are exploring battery storage to balance supply and demand, especially during evening hours when solar generation ceases. While renewable energy now accounts for over half of installed capacity, integrating this dynamic supply efficiently requires enhanced market mechanisms and infrastructure upgrades. Climate resilience and sustainable growth remain priorities amid rising electricity demand and evolving energy consumption patterns.
