Ember, an energy think tank, analysed solar curtailment in India during 2025. The analysis found that 2.3 TWh of solar generation was curtailed between late May and December, with most of the curtailment occurring in the second half of the year. The National Load Dispatch Centre reduced solar output as an emergency measure when other generation sources were operating at their technical limits, particularly during periods of lower-than-forecast demand linked to mild weather. Affected generators received INR 5,750 million to INR 6,900 million in compensation through TRAS mechanisms, while the curtailed volume was equivalent to about 18% of average monthly solar generation. The analysis showed that the curtailed solar could have avoided around 2.1 million tons of CO₂ emissions if it had displaced coal. The findings indicated that flexibility, storage, demand shifting and grid readiness needed to progress alongside continued solar capacity additions. Similar system-level shifts were observed in Europe, where Ember reported wind and solar surpassing fossil generation across the EU in 2025.
