Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation, India-based electricity distribution utility, has achieved a new milestone in solar grid absorption across the state. According to Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation, 50.8 Mu of solar energy was absorbed into the grid on Tuesday, while peak solar generation has reached a record 7,276 MW the same day. Previously, the utility said that the highest daily absorption of 49.3 Mu and peak generation of 6,731 MW were recorded on August 6 last year. Solar output, which had declined during the northeast monsoon, has recovered as dry weather and clear skies prevailed across Tamil Nadu. On Tuesday, solar power has met nearly one-sixth of the state’s total electricity consumption of 345.68 Mu, while peak demand was around 17,000 MW. On Wednesday, generation stood at 47.4 Mu, and Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation said higher output was expected.
