These policy reforms, as well as India's commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change, have all contributed to ambitious plans to build 175 gigawatts of renewable power capacity, much of it solar, by 2022.

This means a duplication of capacity and more than doubling of the costs (because the renewable energy generators are much higher cost than the fossil fuel generators which are essential back up and could do the job on their own).

Those scenarios had in common two assumptions that Loftus and colleagues regarded as out of the realm of reality: efficiency improving at as much as 3 to 4 times the historic rate, and buildup of renewable generation capacity at many times the rate at which today's total electric generation capacity was built up in past decades.

The system succeeded in meeting this demand, but the way it did so, through increased use of conventional energy, and in spite of mediocre to poor performance from renewables, has raised serious questions about the country's ability to withstand similar shocks in the future, when much conventional capacity, mostly coal, will have retired without replacement.
