Description

Description

India's stranded renewable power capacity, consisting of projects awarded but unable to come online, has surged to over 50 GW due to unfinished transmission lines, legal, and regulatory delays. These projects have won tenders but are yet to sign power purchase agreements with buyers. Delays in critical transmission infrastructure, especially in states like Rajasthan and Gujarat, have caused many solar plants to miss commissioning deadlines, risking financial penalties and loss of government incentives. The Sustainable Projects Developers Association (SPDA) has urged the government to recognize these delays as force majeure events and expedite regulatory permissions.
