The capacity of 50 GB renewable ways in the absence of the transmission network: Report

India, one of the largest in the world, is struggling to keep pace with the spread of renewable energy, which leads to a growing gap between clean energy generation and the availability of evacuation infrastructure, according to a report issued on Wednesday.

“The widening gap between the expansion of the planned and effective transmission network is clear, and this imbalance in renewable integration determines and increases the risk of the assets that were cut off and high delivery costs,” the iEfa-JMK report said.

In FY25, only 8,830 CKM (a kilometer) of new transport lines was assigned to a target of 15253 CKM, which reflects a 42 % deficit, with transport between countries (ISTS) at its lowest levels in a contract.

Besides this capacity, the inefficiency appears in the system, with an analysis by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, indicating that up to 71 % of ISTS corridors operate less than 30 % of use, confirming the inconsistency between the availability of infrastructure and actual energy flows.

Market distortions increase the exacerbation of the situation. In many high -order corridors, the speculative storage of the capacity of transmission by entities that do not aim the original project intention may pay communication prices and delay in access to viable projects. Structural and procedural bottlenecks, including right conflicts (ROW), prolonged land acquisition processes, restrictions on purchase of equipment, and multi -agent approval requirements, as well as delay.

“The effects of this-more than 50 GB of renewable energy energy are cut off at the country level, which increases the transportation costs for each unit, poor validity of the project, and deterrence of private investment. These restrictions limit the pace that the new online capacity and the Indian fashion can be attended by integrating renewable energy on a large scale in the lost corridor in the country.

The report said that the coordinated-regulatory reform approach, the measures of operational efficiency, and capitalist mobilization-will be very important to convert the transportation network in India into a flexible and flexible system capable of supporting high penetration to renew while ensuring cost-effective energy connection.

He added: “Extending the recent waiver of ISTS CHARGE for storage and implementing the allocation of access to the general network-based network-which allows energy generators using the transmission network without buyers to determine its identity-are steps in the right direction.”

Without the targeted reforms, it is possible that the imbalance between the assignment and the infrastructure of the evacuation in the leadership of congestion, reduce, and irregular efficiency, which ultimately slows off the progress towards achieving India’s goals in India.
