Supply and Demand Scenarios for Tamil Nadu’s Electricity Mix to 2030: Implications for the State’s Energy Transition

This research paper by the World Resources Institute presents a framework of 12 combined supply and demand scenarios for Tamil Nadu's electricity sector through 2030-31 to assist utility planners in integrated resource planning and financial decision-making.

• The state can more feasibly balance electricity supply and demand by pursuing an ambitious energy transition that aligns with a 2023 target of nine gigawatts of solar power.
• To successfully implement an ambitious renewables pathway, Tamil Nadu must integrate storage solutions to prevent the spillage or curtailment of renewable energy generation.
• Due to the indebtedness of TANGEDCO and delays in revising tariffs, the state must carefully manage future power purchases and consider the impact of demand on costs and energy balance during long-term capacity planning.
