BNEF Summit warning
Renewables Secretary Santosh Kumar Sarangi said projects without battery storage are unlikely to find buyers, with almost 42 GW of planned capacity yet to sign offtake contracts.
Peak curtailment during record demand
Scorching heat sent electricity use to an all-time high, and grid curtailment hit its highest level of the quarter.
Q2 curtailment period begins
During April-June, India's transmission system failed to absorb more than 8 billion kilowatt-hours of power after 63 billion kWh actually reached the system.
India's rapid solar expansion is outrunning grid capacity, causing 11% of peak-season generation to be curtailed even as demand hit records. Battery storage is becoming a requirement, not an option, for the 42 GW of planned projects still lacking offtake deals.
