This pragmatic approach that highlights energy security as a key driver of climate action further defines the context of sustainable development that is relevant for 2023 and beyond. Gas is lower-carbon and lower emissions (with methane control), and gas generation can be ramped up and down to provide balance against the fluctuations of wind and solar.”Accelerating clean energy transitionOne of the fundamental drivers of the sustainability agenda for 2023 will be a greater focus on clean energy transition. The role of hybrid power plants in enhancing sustainable powerHybrid power plants will be part of the future of sustainable energy mix, given their role in reducing the levelized cost of electricity – the power one gets for every rupee (rupees per kilowatt hour). With a clean generation source, storage systems such as pumped hydro storage, and hybrid controls architecture, the operation of different power generation sources can be optimized, ensuing clean and sustainable power supply. Using such technological innovations help India add more gas power to its energy mix and achieve its goal of generating 15 per cent power through gas by 2030.
