The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet and Startup India have launched ENTICE 3.0 to support clean-tech innovation for India's grid. The initiative is designed to encourage solutions that can improve renewable integration, reliability and energy access.

As India's clean energy capacity expands, the grid will need better forecasting, storage, digital tools and flexibility solutions. Startup-led innovation can help address operational challenges that traditional infrastructure alone may not solve.

ENTICE 3.0 highlights the importance of linking entrepreneurs with policy support, funding pathways and real-world grid needs. For the solar sector, such programmes can accelerate technologies that make renewable energy easier to integrate at scale.
