Forecasting growth
India’s expanding utility-scale solar fleet is creating a growing need for accurate generation forecasts. Yet the country does not have one uniform specification for every project. The requirements depend on the connection point, the responsible scheduling entity, and the rules issued by central or state regulators. For forecasting providers, this makes India a sizable market, but one that requires detailed project-by-project implementation, as Reuniwatt’s Hannah Bergler explains.
