Sustainability In Focus: Why India Needs To Diversify Clean Energy Sources Beyond Solar Energy

India's energy landscape has seen a remarkable transformation in recent years, with solar power emerging as a cornerstone of the country's efforts to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. By 2024, India surpassed Japan to become the third-largest solar power generator globally, a milestone achieved through sustained investments in renewable energy. However, as the country continues to ramp up its solar energy capacity, it's becoming increasingl…

When solar plants generate a lot of electricity, it can become tight in the electricity grid. Especially on days when generally little electricity is consumed - such as on Easter. So how big is the risk for a blackout? Experts give warning.
