The Story
India curtailed 8,133 GWh of solar generation between April and June 2026 as transmission capacity and grid operations struggled to accommodate rapidly expanding renewable supply. The government said restrictions were needed to maintain grid security and reflected mismatched timelines between renewable projects and transmission lines. The episode highlights the infrastructure and operational requirements attached to India’s target of 500 GW of clean-power capacity by 2030.
