India struggles to use all its clean power despite high demand. Renewable energy providers curtail output as the grid cannot handle excess generation. Insufficient transmission and storage capacity hinder the integration of clean energy sources. Building new power lines takes longer than renewable energy projects. India needs more batteries and a flexible grid to meet future energy targets.
