India to Improve Weather Forecasting for Grid Stability
India is working on making weather forecasts much better to help with renewable energy.
This will make it easier to use solar and wind power without causing problems for the power grid.
Currently, the grid sometimes has issues because the amount of power from the sun and wind changes.
The government is also helping to ensure power purchase agreements get signed quickly.
Overall, the goal is to meet the country's ambitious goals for using more clean energy.
India aims to improve weather forecasting for a more reliable green grid.
The initiative will help ensure grid stability with increased renewable energy sources.
India has added 22 GW of solar and wind power capacity between January and June.
The country is on track to achieve its 500 GW non-fossil power capacity target by 2030.
Measures are being taken to address unsigned power sale and purchase agreements.
