Adani, NTPC, JSW cut solar output as grid capacity lags

but the grid cannot absorb and transmit the power because key high-voltage corridors are delayed by 15-24 months.”

Solar power production is frenetic while transmission capacity has lagged.

This has led to a spike in power curtailment, and it will likely remain elevated for the next one to two until new infrastructure comes up, he said.

Rajasthan has India's highest solar irradiation and maxi: mum solar days, and curtailing production here casts a long shadow. However, other states are not spared either. Latest data from Grid Controller of India showed that on 1 December, 4.78GW or about 20% remained curtailed in the northern region, nearly 68% or 7.63GW in the southern region and 2.79GW or 30% in the western region.
