Renewable Energy (Wind, Solar, BESS)

Why this sector is highly sensitive
Wind turbines are tall, isolated structures—prime targets for direct strikes that can burn blades and nacelles. Solar inverters/SCADA are surge-sensitive; BESS sites face fire risk if BMS/PCS are hit.

By the numbers
• Global baseline as above; turbine height correlates with strike exposure.
• India: ~5.7M CG strikes (2023–24); wind/solar belts in TN, Gujarat, Rajasthan see frequent storms.
