Inadequate storage of solar power causing grid stress, says study by PM-EAC
Why it matters
Why it matters for greenfield investors: Inadequate storage of solar power causing grid stress, says study by PM-EAC. Energy and decarbonisation announcements change what a greenfield plot must prove on power and ESG. Our analysis is written for industrial investors, not traders.
A PM-EAC study has highlighted that inadequate battery storage capacity is creating stress on India’s power grid as solar generation rises. The report noted that increased solar output during daytime is forcing conventional power plants to adjust rapidly, creating a need for greater grid flexibility. It recommends accelerating battery storage deployment, demand response measures, and time-of-day tariffs to manage renewable energy integration effectively.
