Power imports, solar shortfall challenge Delhi's grid, IEEFA-Ember study says

Delhi is a very big city in India where lots of people live.

In the summer, it gets very hot, so people use fans and air conditioners a lot.

That means the city needs a huge amount of electricity.

On one very hot day, Delhi needed more power than ever before at that time of year.

The city cannot make all of this electricity by itself, so it buys power from other places.

Solar panels help during the day, but the sun does not shine at night, when the city also needs power.

Batteries can save the sun's power for later, and experts say Delhi needs more of them.

Only a few buildings have solar panels on their roofs so far, and the city is behind its target.

A new report by IEEFA and Ember suggests ways to fix this, like getting cleaner power and using electricity wisely.

Their ideas can help Delhi stay cool without breaking the power system.
