California, which is one of the leading states in the US for promoting energy transition, is marching swifÂtly towards achieving its 2045 goal of a carbon-free energy sector and an interim target of 60 per […]
Being a low-carbon source of electricity, nuclear power plays a significant role in decarbonising the power sector. Small modular reactors (SMRs) present opportunities for the application of nuclear power in power generation. Given their modular […]
The government has intensified its efforts and has implemented mea-suÂÂres to ensure that state-level bottlenecks do not hinder the growth of green open access markets. The Ministry of Power (MoP) has issued a directive to […]
The waiver of interstate transmission system (ISTS) charges for transporting power from solar, wind and solar-wind hybrid projects has been a major driver for the success of renewable energy auctions and the discovery of affordable […]
With global concerns regarding enÂergy security, depleting fossil fuel reserves, increasing pollution levels and the looming threat of climate chÂanÂge, countries are increasingly prioritising the transition towards grÂeener energy soÂurces. As a result, the deployment […]
As India moves towards its renewable energy targets and climate change mitigation goals, the complexity of its power systems is increasing. The emergence of behind-the-meÂter load (including solar rooftop and baÂttery energy storage systems [BESSs]), […]
In a key development, the Ministry of Power (MoP) has recently notified a scheme for pooling the tariffs of central sector-owned thermal (coal or gas) plants that are older than 25 years. These plants have […]
Due to their capacity to enhance the operational and financial perÂformance of utilities, smart meters are taking ceÂntre stage in the power distribution sector. Smart meÂters also open up various possibilities for improÂvÂed management of […]
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) recently released a report on the optimal generation capacity mix for 2029-30. It is a revised version of the Report on the Optimal Generation CapaÂcity Mix for 2029-30, which was […]
As the country’s energy sector moves towards surplus capacity and the share of renewable energy grows, thÂeÂre is a need to redesign the energy maÂrÂket to optimise power procurement costs. The majority (about 90 per […]
The Ministry of Power (MoP) has recently released the draft Carbon CrÂedit Trading Scheme (CCTS), whiÂch aims to establish a framework for the Indian carbon market for both voluntary trading and compliance. As per the […]
As India moves towards installing moÂre than 200 GW of new solar power caÂpacity by 2030, there is a collective aim to ensure that a large part of this is made from locally sourced comÂponents. […]
The 11th Annual Integrated Rating and Ranking of Power Distribution Utilities report was released recently. The exercise, conducted with PoÂwer Finance Corporation Limited as the nodal agency, covers 71 power distribution utilities, comprising 45 state […]
India’s power sector is striving to acÂhieÂve the twin objectives of meeting the growing power demand in the country and decarbonising the sector. Nuclear power, backed by high availability and continuous generation, is fast emerging […]
The UK is making efforts towards achieving its ambitious 2030 offshore wind (OSW) goal of 50 GW in order to meet its long-term net zero targets. The UK government’s Department for Energy Security and Net […]
India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is witnessing expansion on a massive scale across all segments and types of vehicles. While central and state government policies and incentives have kindled the initial adoption of e-mobility across […]
The flexible operation of existing coal-based power plants is crucial to enÂsure reliable power supply and maÂinÂtain stable electricity grids while maximising generation from renewable energy sources. While there are many opÂÂtions of flexible power […]
The Ministry of Power (MoP) is geaÂring up in a big way to meÂet the power demand in the upcoming summer season, with the peak demaÂnd expected to hit an all-time high of 229 GW […]
Australia has been making efforts to rebuild and upgrade its transmission infrastructure. Most of this was built decades ago with the primary goal of transmitting the output of its now ageing coal-fired power stations. New […]
In the Indian power sector there are perhaps only a few industries that haÂve exÂpeÂrienced a more significant series of chÂanÂgÂes in their tariff regime in recent times than those in the wind spaÂce. In […]
