AI Summaryacross 1 source
- Urgent Need for Storage: India requires immediate investment in 10 GWh of battery storage to mitigate coal's inflexibility and prevent curtailment of renewable energy.
- Solar Surges vs. Coal’s Limitations: The rapid growth of solar power coincides with the inability of coal plants to reduce their output sufficiently, leading to operational constraints.
- Curtailment Impact: Without adequate battery storage, around 2.1 TWh of clean energy is curtailed annually, equivalent to nearly 1% of total renewable generation.
