Rajasthan Renewable Energy Faces Severe Curtailment Risks

Rajasthan Renewable Energy Faces Severe Curtailment Risks

Renewable energy developers in Rajasthan are facing big problems.

Even though a new transmission line was built, over 4 GW of renewable energy projects are being shut down during the peak solar hours from 11 am to 2 pm.

This is happening because the new line isn't adding enough capacity to handle all the energy.

The developers are worried because this could make their projects less profitable and scare off investors.

They are asking the authorities to fix the problem by adding more transmission capacity and sharing data to help stabilize the grid.

Some new transmission lines are expected to be completed soon, but it's not clear if they will solve the problem.
