  India’s real demand is not on holistic level also  generation capacities are running at a very low plant load factor believes Rajagopalan, Head-Solar Business, Anchor Electricals says, “Even today, India has generation capacity installed in excess to demand. The real demand is not on the holistic level, it is the peak demand that happens due to the peaking power requirement in urban townships. Also, most of the age-old generation capacities are running at very low plant load factor, which needs revamping. This involves capital expenditure and the central government is working on initiatives to support all state distribution companies.”
He thinks, “Solar power can provide an answer to the peaking power requirements and also with the energy storage solutions. The strategic impetus given by the government to the industry is thus in the right direction.”
