Structural and operational factors of renewable energy curtailment in India in 2025
This report examines the structural and operational drivers of renewable energy curtailment in India in 2025, highlighting the roles of demand forecasting errors, limited system flexibility, and transmission bottlenecks. It distinguishes between emergency curtailment via Tertiary Reserve Ancillary Services (TRAS) and structural curtailment caused by inadequate transmission infrastructure, particularly affecting projects under the temporary general network access (T-GNA) framework.

Coal fleet’s changing role in the power system
The report analyzes the evolving role of India's coal-fired power fleet as variable renewable energy (VRE) expands. It projects a structural shift from steady baseload generation to flexible balancing resources by FY 2031–32, characterized by deeper midday turndowns and steeper ramping requirements to accommodate solar peaks. This transition is expected to lower overall plant load factors (PLF) and disproportionately impact higher-cost, less efficient units.
