New Delhi: An inter-ministerial meeting chaired by power minister Manohar Lal on Monday reviewed measures to expedite battery storage deployment, transmission expansion and implementation of time-of-day tariffs as India looks to maximise renewable energy utilisation and strengthen grid stability.
The meeting was co-chaired by heavy industries minister HD Kumaraswamy, new and renewable energy minister Pralhad Joshi and minister of state for power Shripad Yesso Naik.
Discussions were held on faster implementation of energy storage systems, particularly battery energy storage systems, to support reliable integration of renewable energy into the grid.
The ministers also discussed expediting critical transmission projects to reduce renewable energy curtailment and improve grid connectivity across regions.
The issue has become increasingly important as renewable energy capacity in several states grows faster than transmission infrastructure propping issues of curtailment of green power.
Another key focus area was accelerating the rollout of time-of-day tariffs, which are aimed at encouraging higher electricity consumption during solar hours through differential pricing mechanisms.
