Uttarakhand is a key region for India’s hydropower generation, supported by steep gradients, perennial river systems and high rainfall. The state’s river basins include Bhagirathi, Alaknanda, Yamuna, Dhauliganga, Goriganga, Saryu and Eastern Ramganga. Uttarakhand’s total […]
As India accelerates towards its ambitious targets of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and attaining net-zero emissions by 2070, the development of a robust power transmission network will play a pivotal […]
India’s power sector is undergoing a period of strong growth, marked by rising demand, record renewable capacity additions, evolving market mechanisms and rapid digital transformation. Demand continues to be driven by increasing electrification, expanding commercial […]
India’s power sector is witnessing a significant transformation, driven by the rapid integration of variable renewable energy into the grid. This transition has disrupted traditional load patterns, creating an urgent need for greater flexibility in […]
India stands at the crossroads in its path to energy sovereignty with fossil fuels continuing to contribute 68 per cent to electricity production. […]
India’s electricity demand is expanding with the rising urbanisation, digitalisation and increasing electrification of industries as well as transport, leading to the need for power infrastructure augmentation across all verticals – generation, transmission and distribution. […]
Grid-scale energy storage solutions are increasingly gaining traction and need to grow significantly to support the rising renewable energy capacity in the country. There is an impetus from the government to mainstream energy storage solutions […]
With global concerns regarding energy security, depleting fossil fuel reserves, increasing pollution levels and the looming threat of climate change, countries are increasingly prioritising the transition towards greener energy sources. 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-meter load (including solar rooftop and battery energy storage systems [BESSs]), […]
New and emerging technologies such as internet of things (IoT), digital substations, blockchain and remote monitoring solutions are revamping the way utilities operate and maintain their assets. Power utilities are increasingly deploying sensors and intelligent […]
India aims to develop 500 GW of installed renewable energy by 2030 with 420 GW of solar- and wind-based power, namely variable renewable energy (VRE). VRE-based capacity is an intermittent source of power; therefore, for […]
The Indian transmission segment is growing at a fast pace to support the country’s decarbonisation goals and connect 500 GW of clean energy (non-fossil fuel based) to the grid. Besides growth in the physical network, […]
Network strengthening and expansion are among the top priorities for transmission and distribution (T&D) utilities in the country to provide quality and reliable power supply. Utilities are increasingly adopting state-of-the-art technologies and digital solutions to […]
The power sector in India has undergone a sea change. The integration of regional grids into a single national grid in addition to simultaneously providing near-universal electricity access has helped the sector achieve surplus power. […]
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL), a front runner in adopting smart and sustainable technology solutions, has installed over 250,000 smart meters across its consumer segments. It has launched an array of digital initiatives […]
India’s transmission segment is undergoing a transformation. There has been a rapid expansion in grid length and grid capacity at a 5-6 per cent CAGR since 2014-15. In addition, there is a growing reliance on […]
Diesel generator (DG) sets have a quick start-up time, low initial investments and convenient installation. They are one of the most popular backup power solutions deployed in the country. However, DG sets entail high operating […]
