India Expands Solar Capacity Amid Grid Challenges and State-Level Growth
India's renewable energy sector is rapidly expanding, with Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan leading utility-scale solar capacity additions, while Uttar Pradesh tops residential rooftop installations under the PM Surya Ghar scheme. In August, India added 3,445 MW of solar and 383 MW of wind capacity, reaching a cumulative 295 GW. However, the country's electricity grid faces challenges in managing the growing solar power supply, including transmission congestion and curtailment, which could affect the stability and efficiency of the clean energy transition.
