In March, Grid-India published the short-term national resource adequacy (ST-NRAP) study for 2025-26. Among the key conclusions of the study, is the expectation of power shortages during the summer of 2025. This opinion article, that appeared in the online version of  The Indian Express on April 1 2025, focuses on what can be done to in short to medium term to avoid shortages, and suggests that, given the uncertainties, periodic sophisticated modelling studies such as the one by Grid-India should be used for agile resource planning in the power sector, and that these studies should be done in a transparent and participatory manner to seek inputs and incorporate feedback from the larger public.
