What happened (April–June solar curtailment)
Solar power output was curtailed during the April–June quarter. Curtailment lowered actual solar generation into the grid even when broader supply and production conditions suggested solar output should remain strong.
Background and earlier position
Curtailment in power systems is a reduction of power output because operational, grid, or market conditions prevent full injection. Even when solar capacity exists, grid constraints or dispatch requirements can limit how much generation can be accepted at a given time.
What changed now (quarter-level pattern)
The key quarter-level pattern is a divergence between expected solar output and actual solar output during the April–June period. Curtailment is reported as the mechanism for the reduced solar output across the quarter.
