- Renewable power projects in India without power purchase agreements have surged to over 50 gigawatts in nine months.
- Incomplete transmission infrastructure and regulatory obstacles have stalled numerous solar and wind projects, particularly in states like Rajasthan and Gujarat.
- The government is fast-tracking interstate transmission lines, with 20% completed and 70% under construction to enhance grid connectivity.
- Prolonged legal disputes over land and environmental permits have caused several developers to pause their operations temporarily.
Energy transition is not just about building solar and wind capacity, it is also about ensuring that clean power reaches in a most optimum cost and timely manner.— The SPDA in its June 27 letter to the renewable energy ministry.
