New Delhi, Feb 11: India must transform its energy system from merely adding solar capacity to integrating distributed solar, storage, and smarter grids, as indicated by a Tata Power report.
By 2035, solar energy is projected to be crucial for powering industries, communities, and smart cities. The report emphasizes the need for policies to support the deployment of microgrids and clean energy technologies, aiming to meet the anticipated surge in energy demand.
Key policy priorities include resource adequacy frameworks, storage mandates, and domestic manufacturing incentives. Collaboration on R&D, manufacturing innovation, and grid modernization is essential for enhancing reliability and managing variability in renewable energy supply.
