Tamil Nadu govt to explore large scale green energy storage options
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.
