India's Microgrids Boost Climate Resilience

India is facing challenges with unreliable electricity, especially during extreme weather.

To fix this, the country is looking at small, local power systems called microgrids.

These microgrids use solar panels and batteries to provide electricity when the main power grid fails.

They are designed to be strong and can withstand bad weather.

Communities can own and manage these microgrids, which makes them more reliable and helps with local development.

Setting up microgrids doesn't require a lot of money and can be funded through a mix of public and private money.

India plans to focus on states where electricity is least reliable and climate risks are highest.

This approach not only helps with climate resilience but also supports economic growth and community development.
