Most industries benefit from consistency, whether that takes its form on the demand or the supply side. What feels more consistent, reliable and available than…well, the Sun? On today’s podcast, our host sat down with the CEO and Co-Founder of Yotta Solar, Omeed Badkoobeh. Currently, our energy consumption lives off electrical grids. “The grid is the world’s largest machine. It was created over a hundred years ago and it’s always been created to flow energy in one direction, from a centralized power plant outwards to all the homes and business and suburbs,” Badkoobeh said. His company is actively working toward the perfect solution for adapting the Sun’s viable energy source into something that can make its way to those same businesses and homes. The answer may lie in how the energy is stored.

“What solar generation does is it completely changes that map. So, now, you have power coming in from many different sources, from many different rooftops. Really storage, the ability to store the solar energy, completes that picture,” Badkoobeh said. On our Energy Podcast, Badkoobeh discussed the challenges the industry faces once the energy of the Sun has been captured, the remarkable change in pricing, and how several utilities are responding to advances in solar technology with an eye to the future.

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ordered on July 11 that renewable developers surrender transmission rights or provide higher bank guarantees if their projects are not generating power, a change Reuters reported could free up roughly 15.7 gigawatts of grid connectivity. Reuters separately reported that coal still supplies about 70% of India's electricity generation as of an August 17 report.

  • 01CERC order requires renewable developers to either surrender transmission rights or post additional bank guarantees for non-generating projects.
  • 02Approximately 15.7 GW of grid connectivity held by awarded projects that are not generating power could be freed up; surrendered capacity would first go to existing applicants in the same substation cluster, with any remainder auctioned.
  • 03Developers and buyers evaluating projects in constrained substation clusters should verify current CERC connectivity status and guarantee backing, as auction-based allocation may alter cost and timing dynamics.

India's Evening Power Deficit Persists Despite Record Solar Capacity Growth

India's electricity demand exceeded 270 gigawatts on May 22, 2026 amid a heatwave, with a late-evening peak deficit of about 2.57 gigawatts reported by grid regulator Grid-India, according to Reuters. Reuters also reported that as of August 2026, clean energy capacity, led by solar, had surpassed fossil fuel capacity in India for the first time, though coal still supplies roughly 70% of actual generation.

  • 01Peak electricity demand in India exceeded 270 gigawatts on May 22, 2026 amid a heatwave, Reuters reported.
  • 02A late-evening peak deficit of about 2.57 gigawatts was recorded by Grid-India, per Reuters.
