Beyond Gigawatts: Why India’s clean energy future depends on storage intelligence
The battery creates flexibility. The intelligence behind it determines how much of that flexibility the grid can harness. The next clean energy benchmark for India, therefore, might not just be a new number of gigawatts. It might be the ability to get the maximum out of every gigawatt.
