RENEWABLE ENERGY INTEGRATION

• Renewable Energy (RE) Integration = building the transmission backbone, storage and grid management needed to evacuate and absorb variable RE (solar/wind) generation into the national grid.
• Anchored on Green Energy Corridors (GEC-I & II) and expansion of the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS), aligned to India's 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030 target (Panchamrit/COP-26).
• Examinable for GS-III (Infrastructure-Energy, Environment) — links India's NDC, ISA, and electricity sector reforms.
