The bright side to power storage options

Solar power is the cheapest source of electricity, far cheaper than from any other new power plant. And it is this which gave India the confidence to announce at COP26 in Glasgow that it would create 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. It would be the least cost way to meet the country's increasing electricity needs. But as the attainment of this goal gathers momentum, consequential issues will emerge and these need to be addressed in a timely manner.
