How transmission bottlenecks are threatening India’s renewable energy projects
India's renewable energy sector is facing significant transmission bottlenecks, with 21 gigawatts (GW) of capacity currently relying on temporary grid connections. These constraints have led to 6,900 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity being curtailed in FY26, raising concerns about project viability and the country's clean energy targets. As around 12 GW of capacity encounters restrictions during peak solar generation, developers face potential revenue losses, jeopardizing the financial sustainability of their projects.
