Cracking the Duck Curve in India’s Energy Transition
Insights from a Grid-Scale Storage Debate
As India adds more solar to its grid, a fascinating challenge emerges—the “duck curve.” This growing gap between daytime energy supply and evening demand represents one of the biggest opportunities in the energy transition and grid resilience.
At Momentum, we’ve been exploring the world of grid-scale storage and were left with many open questions. To dive deeper, we brought together experts for a focused debate.
Our panel included Ayush Misra, Manas Pathak, Dr. Nagesh Kini, and Sandeep Singhal, moderated by Bharti Singhla.
This article by Atharva Wagle and Bharti Singhla summarizes key insights, including:🔋 Foundations of energy storage (types, LCOS, efficiency, ramp rates, policy landscape)🕰️ The right duration of storage for India’s grid
🪙 Which technologies may win in a cost-sensitive market💡 What it will take for innovation to scale
Despite rich discussion, many questions remain open. We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
