  "account": "French energy giant Engie has announced plans to invest approximately 3 billion euros in India by 2030, with the aim of tripling its renewable energy portfolio to 7 gigawatts. The company intends to add around 1 gigawatt of capacity annually to support India's renewable energy ambitions. CEO Catherine MacGregor revealed that Engie's focus is on developing new renewable energy projects and integrating battery storage systems, currently comprising a portfolio of approximately 2 gigawatts. Engie is exploring various funding options, including a combination of debt and equity, and is planning to establish a treasury operation in GIFT City, Gujarat, to facilitate project financing. The company is also developing in-house capabilities in engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance to navigate a competitive market and protect returns. Grid connectivity and land access are identified as significant challenges to Engie's growth in India, but the company believes that solar combined with battery energy storage systems and government support for storage can help alleviate these issues. Engie views India as a medium-sized market, but the company is determined to elevate it to the level of its leading global markets, such as France, the UK, Belgium, and Brazil.",
