'To beat India in India, you really have to win both Powerplays'
West Indies head coach Darren Sammy emphasised the critical importance of winning both powerplays (batting and bowling) to defeat India in the ongoing T20I series. He highlighted the team's struggle to contain India in the initial overs while bowling and stressed the need for improvement. Sammy also defended all-rounder Roston Chase, praising his discipline and tactical understanding amidst criticism of his selection.
Mayank Yadav must back pace with execution of plans in T20Is in New Zealand, says Bharat Arun
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) Pace alone will not make speedster Mayank Yadav a lethal bowler, and the young quick must back his speed with direction and execution of plans when he features in the T20I series in New Zealand starting on October 22, said former India bowling coach Bharat Arun. With ace pacer Jasprit Bumrahs workload being managed ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, Mayank has stepped up as a lethal alternative in terms of India fielding an express fast bowler in the shortest format. In six outings against Zimbabwe and the West Indies, Mayank has taken nine wickets in 22 overs, with the standout being a spell of 3-36 in Ranchi. In that game, Mayank dismissed both Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer with short balls before shattering Rovman Powells off-stump with a 149.5 kmph thunderbolt. In New Zealand, a country where hes never played competitive cricket, Mayanks primary challenge remains backing his pace to rattle the batters, while maintaining his control and bowling the right lengths. See, I was very happy to see Mayank working out at a good pace against the West Indies. He is a bowler who dwells so much on his pace. Yes, it is good to have pace. It is also great to have pace, as not that many people can bowl as fast as he does. But even more important is the direction and the execution of your plans, Arun, who saw Mayank as the bowling coach of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, told IANS in a virtual interaction facilitated by Sony Sports Network on Tuesday. I think if a bowler is able to execute what he wants to do, of course, sport is sometimes about failing. It's okay to fail, but more often, if you succeed in what you're executing, then your pace becomes lethal, and that is exactly what Mayank should be looking to do, he said. The famed bowling coach also shed light on the challenges Indian fast bowlers will face in terms of bowling in New Zealand, where its still mid-spring. Apart from figuring out how to bowl with and against the wind, the size of the ground also matters in New Zealand, considering some of them have very short boundaries. As far as adaptation to different conditions is concerned, yes, South Africa is totally different from New Zealand. In New Zealand, the ball gets to swing. But again, that's okay with the Test match conditions. But with the one-day matches, okay, in India, the ball doesn't swing much. It swings for about two or three overs. But in New Zealand, it may be done for about four or five overs at the max. That's what white ball is all about. But then success in limited-overs cricket, be it T20 or one-day, is about what different variations you have as a bowler. Because batters are quick in assessing bowlers' strengths and setting up to that. What are the surprise elements that you can bring to your bowling? That is going to be the key for any bowler, added Arun. The addition of veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the T20I team after four years received a thumbs-up from Arun. He can also pass on some of the experiences that he had in New Zealand to the other bowlers, which would help them plan what line of attack or bowling strategies they're going to adopt to counter New Zealand in New Zealand. I wouldn't look at age as a factor in Bhuvi not playing international cricket for two to three (four) years. To me, those things don't matter. If somebody is doing really well and if the selectors believe and the team management believes that he can deliver, I think they are all up for it. I am all in for going after bowlers who we believe can deliver, and Bhuvi is exactly that kind of bowler, and he's in great form at the moment. If you ask me, yes, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is fit enough to be playing for the next couple of years, as he's shown; his form and ability to move the ball are fabulous. Also, the experience would come a long way in Bhuvneshwar doing well. Even in South Africa, the conditions are quite favourable for somebody like Bhuvneshwar Kumar. If you ask me, yes, his recent form and the way he's bowling, he's worked his way back into the team. I'm not looking too far ahead, at least for the next one and a half years, Bhuvneshwar is still good enough for me, he added. Eyes will also be on Mohammed Siraj, who has struggled to be in top rhythm since the Test series in Sri Lanka, which came after he had a rare two-month break from action. This temporary loss of form, I think, be it a bowler or a batter, is bound to happen sometimes. Then he's taken time away from cricket before the Sri Lankan series; I really don't know what kind of workloads he went through and what his training programs were. I think yes, sometimes after a long gap for any sportsman, it takes a little while to shed those small things that creep into your game. But very soon, with his experience, Mohammed Siraj should be looking for his greatest strength: the rhythm in his bowling. So if he can work towards ways of regaining his rhythm along with his coach, I think he'll be back to what he was in the past, he said. Asked whether New Zealand, who have picked a pace-heavy squad for the T20Is, would borrow England's approach of shorter and back-of-the-length deliveries to counter India's batters, something which helped them get the T20I series win, Arun said, See, I feel New Zealand are one of the most competitive sides in world cricket. Also, playing them in their conditions at home is going to be even more difficult for the Indian team. It's because those players understand those conditions very well, and they adapt to their conditions extremely well. So, then again, them having picked a very strong pace line-up would also indicate that most of their wickets are going to be pacer-friendly. Definitely, there would be that extra amount of grass on the wicket, or the conditions are going to be such that it would definitely be helpful for the fast bowlers. So, this is one thing for the Indian management also to think about. Also, if we can go there and get those kinds of wickets that we would be getting in those matches early -- if we are lucky enough to do that, then that would help our preparations much, much better. On Hardik Pandya's prolonged absence, as he spends time on the sidelines due to setbacks in his return to play, Arun felt sad about it. As far as Hardik goes, he is a fabulous all-rounder, and we'll definitely miss somebody with his stature and class. But then if he's not available, there's nothing much we can do about it, he added. Around the time India will play ODIs in New Zealand, Dhruv Jurel-led India 'A' tour will tour New Zealand for three red-ball games. The shadow tour will help the likes of Akash Deep, Mukesh Kumar, Auqib Nabi, Washington Sundar and Manav Suthar adjust to the conditions ahead of the Test matches in Wellington and Christchurch. Arun addressed the issue of India A tours clash with the Ranji Trophy first phase -- a schedule overlap that deprives state teams of their top Test players. Well, cricket is happening throughout the year, and you have identified some players who would be future India players as well. In the past, it has really helped the cause where players have gone earlier to that country before the big Test series and before a big series to get acclimatised to those conditions, and that has helped in the past. I would look at it like this - if those players are going out to play for India A, more players are getting opportunities to play in the Ranji Trophy. So, you can look at it either way. Why don't they play Ranji Trophy here? Or you can look at it in the other sense that newer players are coming in, who are newer and challenging. I think cricket has spread far and wide into this country. More and more quality players are emerging. So, I think it's a great opportunity. Also, such tours would definitely do good for Indian cricket overall, he added. Watch India tour of New Zealand live and exclusive on Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV starting October 22, 2026.
Rahul, Batman And The Battle For Gen Z Space; Is India Ready For Superhero Politics?
Rahul Gandhis Batman rebrand has moved from meme culture to political theatre. The joke began during an Instagram interaction, when he said nobody had seen him and Batman in the same room. Congress turned the line into posters and edited videos. Then came the spectacle: during an Opposition march in Delhi, young protesters handed Batman masks to Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge inside a bus. The protest targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the electoral-roll revision debate. The image travelled fast. The politics behind it was serious. The branding was not. Supporters saw humour and youth connect. Critics saw a gimmick. Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary compared the scene with Gotham and questioned superhero politics in Delhi. The larger test is Gen Z. Young voters understand irony, memes and pop culture. They recognise forced relatability. A Batman mask can attract attention. It cannot replace organisation, credibility, policy or sustained political work.

Australia Consolidate Top Spot, SA Fall Outside Top Two After Durban Defeat In WTC Points Table
World Test Championship: Australia have consolidated their first place in the World Test Championship (WTC), while South Africa slipped outside the top two after the Aussies registered a stellar 214-run win over the Proteas at Kingsmead here on Tuesday. Josh Hazlewood registered career-best figures of 6-49 to help the Aussies bowl out the Proteas for 206 on Day 5 of the opening Test. Matt Renshaw had earlier slammed a 190 and an 82 across the two innings, and he also picked up two wickets in the second innings to play an instrumental role in the win. With this, Temba Bavuma's world record for most unbeaten Tests as captain at the start comes to an end. He was unbeaten in 12 Tests but has now tasted his maiden defeat as skipper. The result has a significant effect on the WTC points table too, with 2023 champions Australia further tightening their stranglehold on the top spot in the nine-team table. Defending WTC winners South Africa have fallen to third place after the defeat, as inaugural champions New Zealand move to second place. Coming into the opening Test, Australia had a PCT of 80 from 10 matches, while the Proteas' PCT stood at 75 from four games. The Aussies now have a PCT of 81.82 in 11 matches with nine wins and two losses. South Africa's PCT has slipped to 60% from five matches with three wins and two defeats. New Zealand take the second spot with a PCT of 72.22 from six matches as they have four wins, a loss and a draw. Bangladesh are closely placed fourth in the standings with a PCT of 55.56 from six matches with three wins, two losses and a drawn game. India are currently fifth with only five wins from 11 matches, with four losses and two draws as their PCT stands at 51.52. England follow in sixth with seven wins in 16 matches, with eight losses and a draw as their PCT reads 38/54. The Three Lions have also been deducted 14 points for separate slow-over offences. Sri Lanka are seventh in the standings with one win, two losses and three draws from six matches as they have a PCT of 33.33, while West Indies are eighth with two wins, eight losses and two draws from 12 games and a PCT of 20.83. They were docked two points for a slow over rate. India are currently fifth with only five wins from 11 matches, with four losses and two draws as their PCT stands at 51.52. England follow in sixth with seven wins in 16 matches, with eight losses and a draw as their PCT reads 38/54. The Three Lions have also been deducted 14 points for separate slow-over offences.

Hazlewood Surpasses Brett Lee In Test Wicket-takers' List After Career-best Outing Against SA
Josh Hazlewood: Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood surpassed former speedster Brett Lee in the list of bowlers taking most wickets for Australia in Test cricket with a career-best six-wicket haul in the first Test against South Africa at Kingsmead in Durban on Tuesday. Hazlewood led the charge for the Aussies with his best haul of 6-49 as he played a vital role in bowling out the Proteas for 206 in the second innings to set up a 214-run win in Durban. The right-arm speedster has gone past Lee and has become Australia's sixth-highest wicket-taking fast bowler with 311 scalps. Coming into the Test, Hazlewood had 303 wickets, but he took eight in the match, with two coming in the first innings too. Lee had scalped 310 wickets in the format during his illustrious career. He is the eighth-highest wicket-taker overall for Australia as late spin legend Shane Warne leads the chart with 708 scalps. Nathan Lyon is the only other spinner in the top 10 as he holds the second spot with 573 wickets. Meanwhile, Hazlewood has also surpassed the likes of West Indies pacer Kemar Roach (304), ex-England speedster Fred Trueman (307), former Windies off-spinner Lance Gibbs (309), and former Proteas speedster Morne Morkel (309) during this Test. He is level with ex-Indian fast bowlers Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan on 311 and has Mitchell Johnson next, with the former Aussie speedster having 313 wickets to his name. Hazlewood produced brilliance on Day 5 to plot South Africa's downfall. With the Proteas on 102/4 at the start of the final day and needing 319 for an improbable win, Hazlewood took four of the six wickets, including crucial wickets of Wiaan Mulder and Maroc Jansen. Mulder showed resistance as he played 110 balls for 29 but fell to Hazlewood. Meanwhile, Hazlewood has also surpassed the likes of West Indies pacer Kemar Roach (304), ex-England speedster Fred Trueman (307), former Windies off-spinner Lance Gibbs (309), and former Proteas speedster Morne Morkel (309) during this Test.

Ranji Trophy: Siraj Leads Hyderabad To Victory; UP, Mumbai Also Win Big
Ranji Trophy Elite Division: India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj led Hyderabad to a strong performance and a huge win over Tripura in the opening Group B encounter in the Ranji Trophy, while Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai also bagged big wins inside three days of their fixtures. Siraj was named captain of Hyderabad for the first two matches and helped the team register a stellar innings and a 40-run win at the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad.

No.3 Gahlaut Rahul Singh (5), Pragnay Reddy (0) and Kodimela Himateja (18) were removed early, but the lower order stood up.

Former European leaders flag India as global investment destination
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) India's growing economic influence and its emergence as an attractive destination for global investment took centre stage at an international gathering in Pathankot on Sunday, where former heads of government, political leaders, and other distinguished personalities discussed opportunities in innovation, entrepreneurship and youth leadership. With India continuing to attract global interest as an investment destination, the event highlighted the potential of international dialogue to encourage entrepreneurship, strengthen cross-border connections and inspire the countrys next generation of leaders. The event also featured messages conveyed on behalf of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and former US Vice President and Nobel laureate Al Gore, adding an international dimension to the discussions. Indias growing economic influence and its emergence as an attractive destination for global investment took centre stage at an international gathering in Pathankot on Sunday, where former heads of government, political leaders and distinguished personalities discussed opportunities in innovation, entrepreneurship and youth leadership. The privately organised event, held under the Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) initiative, brought together former Prime Ministers from Italy, Romania, Moldova, and Slovakia, alongside senior international dignitaries and prominent Indian personalities. Organised by Srijal Gupta, the gathering sought to encourage dialogue on economic development, global cooperation and the role of young people in shaping the future. Speakers emphasised the importance of investment, technological advancement and international engagement in creating opportunities for the next generation. Former Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger drew attention to Indias expanding economic prospects, describing the country as a promising destination for investors. Highlighting the distinction between accumulating wealth and deploying it productively, he encouraged individuals and businesses to explore investment opportunities in Indias rapidly developing economy. Heger also underlined the significance of international platforms in broadening young peoples perspectives. Such interactions, he observed, could help aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs gain exposure to global ideas while fostering innovation, leadership and constructive public discourse. Former British Defence Minister Sir Grant Shapps, another prominent participant, spoke appreciatively of Pathankots energy and character. He also referred to the Punjabi roots of former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, drawing attention to the longstanding cultural connections between India and the United Kingdom. Among the Indian dignitaries present were former CBI Special Director and Border Security Force Director General Rakesh Asthana and Supreme Court Bar Association President Pardeep Rai. Ahead of the programme, several visiting dignitaries travelled to Amritsar to pay their respects at the Golden Temple before proceeding to Pathankot.
Union Territory of Ladakh integral and inalienable part of India: MEA rejects China's claims
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday reiterated that the Union Territory of Ladakh remains an integral and inalienable part of India and no amount of denial by the Chinese side can change the fact. Responding to media queries regarding comments made by the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Ladakh earlier in the day, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal referred to the Ministry of Home Affairs' statement, which mentioned that the 28 places in Ladakh have been identified with standard place and feature names on the official map of Survey of India. This, he asserted once again, has been done in consultation with the Union Territory of Ladakh and local stakeholders. It is reiterated that the UT of Ladakh is an integral and inalienable part of India. No amount of denial by the Chinese side can change this established fact. As for the press release by the Ministry of Home Affairs, GOI, which is being referred to, it is self-explanatory. The announcement mentions that the twenty-eight (28) places/features located in the UT of Ladakh have been identified with standard place and feature names on the official map of Survey of India, and it has been done in consultation with the Union Territory of Ladakh and local stakeholders. Identifying these places formally on the Survey of India map of UT of Ladakh is aimed at facilitating their accurate recognition and better awareness among the public at large, he said. The MEA's response came after Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Tuesday opposed India's Ministry of Home Affairs identification of 28 places of Ladakh by standard place and names on the official map, terming it as illegal and void. Earlier this month, the Centre identified 28 places/locations in Ladakh by standard place and feature names on the official map of the Survey of India in order to recognise their geographical significance and for awareness of the general public about their exact location. Government of India, in consultation with the Union Territory of Ladakh, has identified a total of twenty-eight (28) places/features, located in the UT of Ladakh, by standard place and feature names on the official map of the Survey of India (SoI), an official statement said. Identifying them formally on the Survey of India map of UT of Ladakh is aimed at facilitating their accurate recognition and better awareness among the public at large. These 28 places/features identified on the Survey of India map of the Union Territory of Ladakh, are Atisha Giri Peak, Brangsa Land area, Chapchingal, Kanishka Peak, Karun Pir Mountain, Kuksel Land area, Martand Gir Peak, Parpik Glacier, Skamri Glacier, Shachmirk Pass, Shkorga Valley, Zorawar Peak, Dehra Compass Land area, Drak Karpo Mountain, Gogra Land area, Jolmori Mountain, Kumarayana Point Land ara, Panglung Land area, Rinchen Zangpo Peak, Sakyasri Giri Peak, Guru Rinpoche Lake, Shamal Lungpa Land area, River, Hot Spring Water body, Marpa Lotsava Ri Peak, Milarepa Kangri Peak, and Maheshvara Ri Peak. Identifying and standardising places or geographical features on the official map of the Survey of India carries significant administrative, strategic, and legal value. It establishes an official, uniform name for peaks, passes, rivers, glaciers, and land areas, preventing local naming confusion or duplicate references. It converts political or diplomatic claims into formal cartographic records -- serving as an official rebuttal to foreign renaming efforts (such as actions by China in border regions like Ladakh or Arunachal Pradesh).

England Announce Squads For White-ball Australia Series, Rest Key Pacers For T20Is
ODI World Cup: England have announced their squad for the white-ball series against Australia and have rested several key bowlers for the T20Is as the focus lies on the subsequent Test series in South Africa and the ODI World Cup 2027. Speedsters Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker and Josh Tongue have all been rested for the five-match T20I series that will be played from November 21 onwards. However, the Three Lions have named a full-strength squad for the preceding three ODIs that will be played from November 12 onwards. Archer and Jacob Bethell have returned to the ODI squad as England look to ramp up their preparations for the World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, which is less than a year away from now. The returns of Jacob Bethell and Jofra Archer for the ODI series means that we will be at close to full strength as we ramp up preparations for a World Cup in a year's time, Marcus North, England's national selector, said. The four quick bowlers will then leave after the three-game ODI series as we look to manage them ahead of the Test tour of South Africa. England are set to leave for Pakistan on Thursday for an ODI tri-series, which also features Sri Lanka and starts Sunday. There are two changes to the ODI squad for the Australia series from the group that will play Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with Archer and Bethell returning. The speedster was rested, while Bethell was out due to the knee injury he sustained during the India ODI series in July. The T20I side bears a fresher look with four uncapped players and several key pacers rested. Wicketkeeper batter Thomas Rew and right-arm fast bowler Eddie Jack have earned their maiden senior call-ups, while James Coles and Henry Crocombe can also make their T20I debuts. Crocombe was recently given a two-year contract by the ECB, and Luke Wood, who was omitted from the contracts, has been recalled. Phil Salt is back in the T20Is after recovering from a quad injury as he replaces the injured Jos Buttler. Sam Curran returns from a groin injury. Our T20 team has been in excellent form under captain Harry Brook, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to test ourselves in Australian conditions against a very good team, North said. We will have four uncapped players in an exciting T20 squad including Thomas Rew and Eddie Jack, both of whom toured Australia with the England Lions last year, and who earn their first England call-ups. England will play a rare white-ball warm-up match in Perth on November 7 before the ODIs begin on November 13. The T20Is will begin on November 21 and run till December 2. England's ODI squad: Harry Brook (capt), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jordan Cox, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Josh Tongue England will play a rare white-ball warm-up match in Perth on November 7 before the ODIs begin on November 13.

IMF's 7 pc growth forecast reflects global confidence in India: Experts
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) Economists and market experts on Tuesday said the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) projection that India will remain the world's fastest-growing major economy with a growth rate of 7 per cent reflects strong global confidence in the country's economic potential. Speaking to IANS, economist Vijay Sardana said a country with a population of over 1.5 billion offers immense opportunities for growth and investment. This is very good news because a vast country like India, with a population of nearly 1.5 billion, has enormous potential, he said. Given the development that is still taking place in the country, these GDP figures indicate that India has significant growth potential. The entire world should take this market seriously, as many investment opportunities are likely to emerge here, Sardana stated. He added that India is well-positioned to play an important role in the ongoing global political and economic realignment. He emphasised that India's greatest strength lies in its consumption-driven economy. Echoing similar views, economist and tax expert CA Yogendra Kapoor of Kapoor & Associates said India has the potential to sustain a growth rate of 7 per cent or higher. He credited the government's focus on digitisation, infrastructure development and economic transparency for creating a favourable investment climate. Absolutely, and I believe this target is easily achievable. Considering India's overall economic ecosystem at this point, I believe we can maintain a consistent rate of growth, Kapoor noted. Kapoor said the continued increase in income tax and GST collections indicates that the Indian economy is steadily moving from the informal sector to a more formalised structure. If we look at the government's focus on digitalisation and infrastructure development, these initiatives create an environment that promotes not only domestic investment but also foreign investment, Kapoor told IANS. Market expert A.P. Shukla noted that India has maintained its growth momentum despite several global disruptions since 2014, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the energy crisis and broader economic uncertainty. You may have seen that our data shows that crores of people in the country have risen above the poverty line. How did this happen? If we were not experiencing growth, how would this be possible? Today, almost everyone has one, two or even three mobile phones. People are spending more on travel, expensive houses are being sold, and lifestyles are improving, Shukla noted. Economy expert Vinod Rawal described the IMF's growth projection as a matter of pride for the country, saying India's position among the world's fastest-growing major economies remains strong. Despite the fact that other countries economies are not growing at the same pace, we will emerge as the fastest-growing economy in the world. There is no doubt about that, he stated.

India's rapid power demand sparks need for additional coal generation: CEA Chairman
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 13 (IANS) India's rapidly growing electricity demand could require the country to build substantially more coal-fired generation capacity than previously projected even as it maintains an aggressive renewable energy expansion programme, said Ghanshyam Prasad, chairman of the Central Electricity Authority of India, on Tuesday. At an event organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce, the CEA head noted that demand trends may force planners to reassess the scale of coal capacity additions needed to ensure reliable electricity supplies over the coming decade. Moreover, the country had projected last year that it would add 97 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired power capacity by 2035, taking total installed coal capacity to about 307 GW. However, stronger-than-expected growth in power consumption could push future requirements significantly higher. Demand is growing and as demand grows we need stable sources of supply to meet that demand, Prasad said. According to him, additional coal-based capacity requirements could rise beyond earlier estimates, potentially reaching between 105 GW and 150 GW above current expansion plans. The remarks highlight the challenge facing India as it seeks to balance surging electricity consumption with its long-term clean energy transition goals. While renewable energy capacity continues to grow rapidly, policymakers remain concerned about ensuring round-the-clock power availability and grid stability. Power demand has strengthened markedly this year with daily peak demand running around 45 GW to 50 GW higher than levels recorded a year earlier, Prasad said. In addition, reduced rainfall during the monsoon season has also curbed hydropower generation, increasing reliance on thermal power plants to bridge supply gaps. The government data showed electricity shortages climbed to 560 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) in September which was the highest level since August 2023 despite higher output from coal-fired generating stations. Coal-based electricity generation rose 13.3 per cent year-on-year in September, while hydropower generation declined by about 20 per cent compared with the same month last year. Prasad stressed that the renewed focus on coal should not be interpreted as a slowdown in India's renewable energy ambitions. Notably, India added roughly 50 GW of renewable energy capacity last year and is expected to continue commissioning more than 50 GW annually in the coming years, he said. However, the CEA chief noted that renewables alone cannot meet the country's growing electricity needs without complementary sources of firm power. Expanding nuclear generation, pumped-storage hydropower and other balancing technologies will be crucial to maintaining grid reliability as renewable penetration increases.
