Ratul Puri Charts a Decisive Pivot in India’s Energy Transition
Ratul Puri has spent the years following his 2016 appearance at Davos building a practical, execution-heavy path in the Indian power sector. This transition focuses on the technical work required to stabilize the national grid through a “Solar India 2.0” vision. The objective is to treat clean energy as an engineering challenge, moving from intermittent generation towards providing stable, 24/7 power.
A major part of this strategy involves Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). By integrating large-scale storage with solar generation, the aim is to ensure renewable energy is as reliable and dispatchable as conventional power. This approach addresses the fundamental issue of solar availability, making it a more viable long-term alternative for the grid.
The impact of this shift is reflected...
