India is wasting too much solar and wind power, as its limited infrastructure struggles to cope with renewable energy surpluses. India recently ratified the Paris Climate Change Agreement and has ambitious plans to scale up the use of renewables. However, a lack of investment in inter-state power lines poses significant challenges for grid integration and the construction of a $3.4bn green energy corridor is progressing slowly. Meanwhile, between 33 percent and 50 percent of senior corporate leaders in Indian solar companies do not believe the country will meet half of its rooftop solar target by 2022.
