India records 12 GW drop in solar power generation during eclipse
New Delhi: India’s electricity grid recorded around 12 giga watt (GW) drop in solar power generation during the solar eclipse on Sunday.
The power grid operators successfully managed the shock due to the sudden drop and surge in generation during the celestial event.
Events such as these prove India’s ability to manage its growing green energy generation and the impact on the national grid. This was also evident on 5 April, when India pulled off a feat in electricity grid management during a 9-minute blackout, called for by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
