India's energy sector is undergoing a transformative phase driven by a surge in power demand and a shift towards renewable energy sources. The country experienced a rapid increase in power demand in the past year, with a notable peak demand of 250 GW. To meet this demand, the thermal power sector has shown improvements in plant load factors and announced plans for an additional 80 GW of capacity. The sector is focusing on reducing emissions and adopting new technologies. The distribution sector has also seen positive changes, with reduced losses and improved financial health. Initiatives like the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme have aided in installing smart meters to enhance operational efficiency. Despite these advancements, challenges such as inadequate tariff hikes persist. India's energy strategy for the future involves integrating energy storage solutions, developing green hydrogen initiatives, and revitalizing the nuclear power sector.
