Renewable energy sources have been increasingly adopted for building a sustainable future in India’s energy landscape. This transformation took time to develop; it is the product of coordinated efforts by the government, business and scholars, […]
The captive power market in India has witnessed remarkable growth in recent times, driven by high grid tariffs that are charged from commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers and the erratic power supply that often hampers […]
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has released a report on optimal generation capacity mix for 2029-30. As per the report, the likely installed capacity by the end of the year 2029-30 will be 777,144 MW. […]
As India moves towards installing more than 200 GW of new solar power capacity by 2030, there is a collective aim to ensure that a large part of this is made from locally sourced components. […]
From an energy product firm in 1947 to a fully diversified energy group in 2022, the journey of India-based infrastructure major Jakson Group has spanned the fields of distributed energy, solar, battery energy storage systems […]
Solar energy is scaling up rapidly, driven by favourable government incentives and regulations, declining capital costs and innovative technologies. Improved solar cell efficiencies and cost reductions have provided an enormous fillip to the growth of […]
For the commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses, energy costs account for 30-40 per cent of their total operational expenditure. In order to meet their energy demand and hedge against the risk associated with high grid power tariffs, C&I […]
Solar power has played a key role in accelerating the energy transition in India. The installed solar power capacity has grown considerably over the past decade – from just about 941 MW in 2011-12 to […]
India’s renewable energy sector is growing rapidly, with emerging opportunities in hybrids, energy storage, green hydrogen, electric vehicles (EVs) and other segments. The country’s policy and regulatory regime is also transitioning simultaneously, with adequate adjustments […]
Apraava Energy (formerly CLP India) envisions its energy portfolio doubling over the next three to four years. The company aims to expand its power transmission business and explore new opportunities in the distribution and retail […]
In 25 years, renewables plus storage will be the dominant generation source, believes Dr Ajay Mathur, director general, International Solar Alliance (ISA). While fossil fuel capacity will continue to serve as baseload, by 2030, the […]
Net metering can play a key role in the uptake of rooftop solar installations. India has a 100 GW solar capacity target by 2022, of which 40 GW is to come from rooftop solar and […]
Distributed generation (DG) refers to a variety of technologies that generate electricity near the end users. Some of the DG technologies are solar panels, and combined heat and power (CHP). They may serve a single […]
The renewable energy segment presents an attractive investment opportunity in the power sector with record capacity additions, declining tariffs and growing private sector participation. In 2016-17, 11.3 GW of renewable capacity was added, comparable with […]
Whether progress towards the 175 GW renewable energy target is on track or not has been the main thrust of key discussions in the power sector in recent years. However, the renewable energy segment has […]
The renewable energy sector has grown significantly over the past year on the back of multiple regulatory changes, capacity additions and declining tariffs. As of July 2017, the total renewable energy capacity was 58.9 GW, […]
A strong regulatory framework is the key to attracting and retaining investment in a state. In Telangana, the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSERC) plays a crucial role in making the regulatory framework conducive to […]
Telangana’s installed renewable energy capacity as of May 2017 stood at 1.54 GW, accounting for nearly 13.4 per cent of the total installed capacity. The government has been making concerted efforts to augment capacity, especially […]
US-based solar module manufacturer First Solar entered the Indian market in 2010 and has since become one of the largest thin-film suppliers in the market. Excerpts from a recent interview with Sujoy Ghosh, country head, […]
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 […]
