With a power grid that has been notoriously unreliable in the past, India’s goal to transform formerly passive consumers into prosumers would seem an uphill battle. Its electricity demand reached an all-time demand peak of 223 gigawatts (GW) this past June, and projections indicate it could hit 340 GW by the decade’s end.
