Power grid operational bottlenecks forced the curtailment of 8,133 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of solar power generation across India during peak daytime production cycles over the past year.
Transmission system reports indicated that inadequate regional grid capacity and delayed battery energy storage integration prevented clean power distribution during periods of maximum solar output.
Energy authorities recommended accelerating transmission line expansion and grid-scale storage facilities to minimize renewable energy wastage.
