From Peak Gaps To Power Security: India’s Path To Round-The-Clock Renewable Energy

Abstract

India's transition to round-the-clock renewable energy (RTC RE) is pivotal for achieving its climate objectives and ensuring energy security. While the nation has made significant strides in expanding renewable energy capacity, several challenges impede the realization of uninterrupted clean energy supply. These include limited energy storage infrastructure, transmission constraints, policy and market design gaps, financial hurdles, and institutional coordination issues.
