Follow-up of India s closure of solar container communication stations and wind power

4 FAQs about Follow-up of India s closure of solar container communication stations and wind power

Why does India need solar energy storage?

Workers install solar panels at a renewable energy park in Khavda, Gujarat, India. India's power grid is struggling to absorb a surge in solar power installations, leading to more curtailment that threatens the build-out of renewables and underscores the need for energy storage.

How does solar and wind energy affect electricity demand in India?

The growth of solar and wind energy capacity in India means that more electricity demand is being met by renewable energy generation. However, its contribution to meeting electricity demand is not evenly distributed throughout the day or across different months of the year.

Does India need a national framework for promoting energy storage?

Furthermore, the MoP has introduced a national framework aimed at promoting energy storage. This initiative is designed to foster the adoption of energy storage technologies. India needs to increase its annual capacity addition by around 36% every year to meet its NEP target for solar.
