New Delhi, Feb 19: Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi announced that the Indian government will implement AI-based solutions to address grid congestion and renewable energy curtailment.
At the AI Impact Summit, he emphasized the need to manage grid stability and reduce power capacity curtailment, which prevents renewable energy transmission.
The government is also facilitating a decrease in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) costs through viability gap funding, projecting a battery storage requirement of 411 gigawatts by 2032.
