The BES 2026 session on “Pumped Hydro Renaissance: Unlocking long duration storage for renewable dominance” at the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 featured insights by M.G. Gokhale, Member, Hydro, Central Electricity Authority (CEA); Suprakash Adhikari, Director, […]
Hydropower remains a cornerstone of India’s renewable energy mix, offering a unique combination of clean generation, grid stability and long-duration storage. Following a period of slowdown, the sector is regaining momentum, marked by rapid capacity […]
Gujarat has been an early adopter of renewable energy in India. The state’s renewable energy journey began with a strong emphasis on wind power. It introduced its first wind policy as early as 1993, which […]
At the 23rd edition of the Hydro Power in India conference organised by Power Line and Renewable Watch, Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, Central Electricity Authority (CEA), spoke about the renewed momentum in hydropower and pumped storage […]
India is rapidly expanding its renewable energy capacity, but this growth brings a critical challenge – how to store intermittent renewable energy. Pumped storage projects (PSPs) are now being recognised as a viable and scalable […]
Hydropower continues to play a critical role in India’s energy transition, offering a reliable and renewable source of electricity, with grid-balancing capabilities. As of June 2025, India’s total installed hydropower capacity stood at 54,480.21 MW. […]
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 […]
Pumped storage plants (PSPs) play an important role in providing peaking power and maintaining system stability in the power system. At present, it is the only viable technology for large-scale energy storage. PSPs allow the […]
Pumped storage hydropower is one of the most developed and reliable energy storage technologies globally. With an increase in the country’s intermittent renewable energy capacity, pumped storage plants (PSPs) have assumed further importance as they […]
India is proactively working towards achieving the ambitious 175 GW by 2022 renewable energy target, which is over three times the current installed capacity of 58 GW. Wind and solar plants are subject to daily […]
