New study provides state-wise renewables addition plan for India
A new study by government thinktank NITI Aayog provides state-wise renewable energy potential that can be harnessed by states to meet their renewable purchase obligations, RE capacity that needs to be procured by the deficit states from other RE-rich states, and storage requirement to meet the required grid balancing. The study was carried out with the support of the Central Electricity Authority and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
