NGCP welcomes Terra Solar Power Project as a significant addition to the country’s growing renewable energy capacity, supporting national efforts toward a cleaner energy mix.

- 

Terra Solar has a total capacity of 2,500 megawatts, supported by a 1,125-MW battery energy storage system capable of sustaining output for around four hours.

NGCP, however, cautioned that heavy reliance on intermittent power sources such as solar generation may pose operational challenges to grid stability, potentially causing fluctuations in system frequency and voltage that if not properly managed, could lead to under-frequency load shedding or rotating power interruptions in some areas.

"Renewable energy initiatives such as the Terra Solar Power Project are welcome.

Any new power source introduced into the system will help keep supply stable. However, not all renewable energy technologies are equal. Some technologies (such as wind or solar) are, by nature, variable or supply intermittently, and therefore need to be handled more carefully.
