The Round-the-clock (RTC) clean electricity matches hourly power use with zero-carbon sources like solar, wind, and battery storage.
The RTC clean energy can save India’s power grid up to ₹9,000 crore ($1 billion) annually.
New report shows that RTC clean energy could reduce emissions by 2.4% at 70% matching, more than double the 1% reduction achieved by annual matching.
At 100% RTC matching, emissions cuts could reach up to 7%.
Deploying 52 gigawatts (GW) of the RTC clean electricity capacity can serve 5% of India’s projected national demand by 2030.
The report highlights RTC clean electricity as a cost-effective, climate-smart, and future-ready solution aligned with India’s goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
