Session 1: Enhancing Renewable Energy and Grid Stability India’s energy sector has grown significantly in recent years. The energy demand of India has almost doubled since 2000, which has pushed the country’s share in global demand from 4.4% to 5.7% in 2013. With limited and depleting conventional energy resources, India is pursuing an aggressive renewable energy (RE) generation program. The RE potential is vast and largely untapped in India. The session will facilitate discussion on increasing share of RE in overall energy mix and related challenges w.r.t. grid stability.
