By 2032, India plans to have two-third of its power capacity in the renewable sector. To get there , we need to overcome some limitations that clean energy poses, such as intermittency and integration with the grid.

RE is energy derived from naturally replenishable or practically inexhaustible sources. These energy sources have a much lower adverse impact on climate change compared to fossil fuels like coal, oil and even natural gas. The RE segment includes solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal and ocean energy.
