The scarcity of suitable sites, geographic and environmental constraints, regulatory complexities, and high land acquisition costs pose significant barriers to the growth of wind-solar hybrid power projects. However, the economic benefits of co-located wind and solar hybrid power projects far transcend the challenges with their ability to optimally use the transmission infrastructure. The Indian government has recognized the potential of hybrid power projects and has implemented the National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy. A project will be recognized as a hybrid power project if the rated power capacity of one resource is at least 25% of the rated capacity of the other resources.
