The Government of Tamil Nadu is considering options for storing green energy during peak generation seasons to use it during lean periods. Currently, no state in India has a comprehensive strategy for storing green energy and ensuring round-the-clock renewable energy (RE) supply.
Tamil Nadu contributes 26 per cent of the wind power generation, 10 per cent of solar generation, and a total of 14 per cent to India’s overall RE generation capacity.
According to sources, the state’s Industries Minister, T R B Rajaa, has informed District Collectors that green energy storage is a significant focus for Tamil Nadu, addressing a meeting on Tuesday.
