Main purpose
Within a cooperation agreement signed by Enedis and TATA POWER Delhi Distribution Limited, the demonstration aims at showing in a district located in New Delhi, India, how innovative solutions allow the implementation of Local Energy Communities (LEC) using local PV units and the self-consumption approach.
A specific attention is also paid with the resilience of the local energy system to the distribution network disruption, which will trigger another set of arguments to deploy such energy communities around the emerging PV deployment program in India.
The current Indian government has revised the PV capacity targets from 20 gigawatts today to 175 gigawatts by 2022. Currently, over 70% of the total power resources comes from conventional sources (thermal and hydro).
Key points & Challenges
