Electric motors and motor-driven systems account for approximately 70 per cent of the electricity utilised by industries. According to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Energy Efficiency 2022 report, as of 2022, 57 countries had established […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) are major contributors to India’s electricity supply. However, the conventional method of power generation and delivery exhibits considerable inefficiency, with only a third of the primary energy input translating into usable […]
The industrial sector, accounting for a third of the aggregate carbon emissions, is undergoing rapid development in India. As urbanisation and the expansion of the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors continue, the contribution of industries to […]
The Indian power sector is on the cusp of an energy transition, as the share of renewable energy in the country’s power generation is rising rapidly. Aligned with the nation’s decarbonisation and net zero targets, […]
Energy efficiency plays a key role in driving sustainable energy transition and decarbonising the global economy. It is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals, including climate change mitigation and increasing the share of renewables in […]
An effective energy cost management process optimises energy usage and reduces expenses for large commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers. This process involves monitoring and analysing energy usage, identifying opportunities for improvement, implementing energy-saving measures, and […]
Electricity consumption in commercial buildings has increased due to the growing economic activity. Buildings consume a lot of energy, resulting in concerns regarding energy supply, depletion of energy resources and increased building service needs. Businesses […]
Motors and drives form the backbone of industrial processes. Estimates suggest that these account for nearly 70 per cent of the industrial electricity consumption and around 40 per cent of the commercial consumption. Therefore, it […]
India has implemented a number of energy efficiency initiatives in an effort to lessen its carbon impact. This includes implementing projects based on cogeneration and trigeneration. Over the past year, the Government of India has […]
The captive capacity of Indian commercial and industrial (C&I) units is on the rise owing to the increasing affordability of variable renewable energy and the growing adoption of technologies such as IoT and data analytics. […]
The short-term power trading market has evolved significantly. During 2021-22, short-term trading volumes were recorded at 186.75 BUs, of which the power exchanges accounted for 54.3 per cent by achieving an all-time-high volume of 101.45 […]
Industries in India consume roughly 55-60 per cent of the country’s electricity. There is a potential to reduce this energy consumption by 10-25 per cent depending on size, industry and type of technology adopted by […]
In India, industrial use accounts for the majority of energy consumption at present. There is a lot of scope for reduction in industrial energy consumption while increasing operational efficiency. Implementing best energy practices across industries […]
The building sector in India consumes over 30 per cent of the total electricity consumed in the country annually and is second only to the industrial sector. With nearly two-thirds of the built infrastructure yet […]
Electric motors and drives are electrical components utilised in fans to turbines, from heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to irrigation systems. These components are important because they are used to determine and adjust the […]
At the 26th Conference of the Parties (CoP) that took place in 2021, India committed to reducing the energy intensity of its economy by 33-35 per cent in 2030 compared the 2005 levels. Cogeneration and […]
Power plants are infamous for some of the worst industrial accidents in history. Perhaps nuclear power plants come first to our mind in this context. While nuclear power accidents such as the Chernobyl disaster in […]
India’s renewable energy capacity has grown by leaps and bounds and crossed the massive 100 GW milestone this year. Over 8 GW of capacity has been added during April-November 2021 despite the devastating second wave […]
Decentralised power generation systems are units that generate electricity and consume all/part of it in situ. Industrial establishments such as textile mills, sugar refineries, cement factories, steel producers and petrochemical refineries tend to install decentralised […]
Captive power plants (CPPs) are vital for industries to meet their energy needs. While peak power and energy deficits in the country have reduced over the years facilitating electricity supply to industries, the tariffs for […]
