Energy transition is a spectrum which presents diverse opportunities for various fuels and technologies across several use cases. As there is no one-size-fits-all solution, exploring different emerging sources of green energy is likely to play […]
The hydropower segment plays a vital role in meeting climate change commitments and achieving the country’s renewable energy capacity targets. Hydropower is a green energy source that offers storage, flexibility and round-the-clock power and helps […]
The total biomass potential available in India is 754.5 million tonnes (mt), according to the “Evaluation Study for Assessment of Biomass Power and Bagasse Cogeneration Potential in the Country” released by the Administrative Staff College […]
In the early 2000s, solar and wind power development in India was mostly unfeasible, and coal accounted for the majority of the nation’s energy consumption. However, a turning point eventually arrives for every technology. Between […]
In line with the government’s aim to increase the share of green power in the country’s energy mix, a record 11.3 GW of renewable energy capacity was added in 2016-17. In comparison, the coal, gas, […]
In an attempt to address the issue of the pile-up of renewable energy certificates (RECs) and introduce more realistic prices, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) issued new forbearance and floor prices for RECs in […]
Over the past few decades, technological advancements, along with finance and business model innovations, have led to notable cost and performance improvements in some renewable energy segments, particularly wind and solar photovoltaic (PV). These have […]
Off-grid renewable energy systems are increasingly being viewed as a means to provide sustainable and cheap electricity to the vast sections of the country that are yet to be connected to the main grid, especially […]
The small-hydro power (SHP) industry has experienced limited growth over the past one year, but a strong debate over a government proposal has brought the segment back into the limelight. The government is mulling over […]
Wind power development in the country started in 1986, with the setting up of the first wind farms in Maharashtra (Ratnagiri), Gujarat (Okha) and Tamil Nadu (Tirunelveli). Despite several challenges, the segment has recorded significant […]
The Indian solar market has come a long way since 2009-10 when it began with the installation of modest capacity of around 10 MW. The segment has grown rapidly over the years to reach the […]
