'Several developments have come into play at once, that together have made for this startling, climate-friendly transformation of India’s energy policy. '
'As India benefits from the shift to domestic renewable energy, other emerging market nations are watching, keen to leverage the same benefits for their own countries. '
'Domestic renewable energy specialists were also bidding. '
'This high investor interest allowed the government of India to select the lowest-cost bids, ultimately benefitting India’s electricity consumers. '
'The national electricity grid is showing signs of serious congestion from the rapid influx of intermittent renewable energy generation. '
This has been an automated message.
