Panel discussion is now underway – Sector champions n experts from NTPC Limited, Deloitte, @intertek #CERC #GSECL, International Energy Agency discussing the present scenario n future roadmap for flexibilization of thermal #power plant to support large-scale integration of #RE. #poweringcleanenergy

#USAID's studies on flexibilization is first study conducted ever in the country to identify n quantify cost involved in cyclic operations. Together with support of USAID India we were able to achieve 40% technical min load at Mauda 500MW plant - Ramesh Babu,(DO) NTPC Limited

Happening Now ! Panel of power sector champions n experts representing @PosocoIndia, NTPC Limited ABB India #PRDC #NIWE are discussing the present scenario and future roadmap for applicability of #AGC for various #generation resources including #RE. #poweringcleanenergy

'#Gujarat recently added 1000MW of wind energy n in such RE scenario, flexibilization of our units is must. With the support of USAID India, we were able to achieve 40% tech min load at our Ukai plants n now we are scaling it across all our units- M Prasanna Kumar, MD- #GSECL

Happening Now ! India’s energy leaders n power sector champions from Ministry of Power, @PosocoIndia & #CERC POWERGRID joined to take discussions on large-scale RE integration to next level ! Join us - lnkd.in/eeF8NVj6 #poweringcleanenergy

'Total transmission & Total transformation is must n its high time to adopt bottom up approach to sensitize our states with what is already conceived right ! USAID India should come along n continue their support n taking pilots to all the states'-KVS Baba, CMD @PosocoIndia

'Real strength of India lies in states, we should move forward with our goals of scaling up India's efforts for large-scale integration of #renewableenergy to the grid' - Soonee S K, Advisor, @PosocoIndia

Resource and Reserve Adequacy to be taken up more seriously now n New #GridCode with proper regulations is awaited to facilitate smooth #cleanenergy transition to next levels meeting the requirements to cater India's 450GW targets - KVS Baba @PosocoIndia

"Excellent work has been done over these few years.. USAID India' GTG-RISE has covered a range of issues — #flexibility, #AGC, #NOAR, #energystorage, #transmission..you name it ! And all this has contributed toward smooth integration of RE. -Soonee S K,Sr.Advisor @PosocoIndia

I'm happy to say that USAID India's #GTG program has been beneficial n helped us understand the complexity of the issue n how we can deal with it. The pilots have created a body of evidence to create a strong value proposition- Mritunjay Kumar Narayan,Joint Secretary,Ministry of Power
