India Issues Deadlines to Sync Grid With Clean Energy Buildout (opens original article in a new tab)

India sets deadlines to synchronize transmission projects with grid expansion, aiming to accelerate green energy integration by aligning timelines for HVDC projects and substations, addressing delays caused by supply chain issues and infrastructure gaps.

• India introduces timelines to align transmission projects with grid expansion for faster green energy integration
• HVDC projects must complete in 54 months, 765 kV substations in three years, with possible extensions for hilly areas
• Transmission expansion lags behind renewable energy growth, causing project backlogs and supply chain issues
• Ember notes grid constraints threaten India's energy transition, emphasizing coordinated planning between generation and transmission
