By Prateek Singhal, Co-founder and COO, Ecozen Solutions India has no dearth of sunlight, and it is estimated that most parts of the country get about 4-7 kWh of solar energy, of the nearly 5,000 […]
India, by far, has been one of the nations with an extensive withholding tax regime. As per the press release dated September 18, 2022, issued by the Ministry of Finance, the gross collection of direct […]
By Purva Jain, Energy Analyst, Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) While renewable energy has been successful in decarbonising the power sector, many other industries remain dependent on fossil fuels. In the hunt […]
By Vaibhav Singh, Director, Energy, PwC SolarPower Europe’s Global Market Outlook 2022 estimated a global installed solar capacity of 940 GW, on the back of the record capacity addition of 168 GW last year. Solar […]
It has been more than seven years since the National Offshore Wind Energy Policy was green-flagged by the Government of India, with the notion that the segment will contribute to the growing momentum of wind […]
In India, most of the power is generated by coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs). Thermal-based generation gives rise to carbon emissions, sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, along with suspended particulate matter, thereby polluting […]
There has been a lot of discussion recently about climate finance for supporting actions that will address climate change. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement have called for […]
By Randheer Singh, Director, Electric Mobility, NITI Aayog Climate change has forced the world to come together and chalk out an actionable roadmap to prevent further degradation of the environment. With the shift in global […]
The energy sector for any developing nation acts as a backbone for holistic socio-economic growth. Since the Paris Agreement in 2015, the renewable energy sector has been one of the critical sectors in India, being […]
Harvesting solar power is one of the most eco-friendly and cost-effective methods of electricity generation. While India has made great strides in utility-scale solar electricity generation, residential rooftop solar generation has so far been underwhelming. […]
India’s ambition of becoming the third-largest economy by 2030, addressing climate change challenges and meeting the sustainable development goals (SDGs) demands a robust solar infrastructure supported by a high manufacturing yield and favourable government policies. […]
Batteries typically accounts for 30 per cent to 40 per cent of the value of an electric vehicle (EV), and the race to net zero will focus on the security of supply of the critical […]
Currently, the installed renewable energy base is roughly 700 GW globally. This is expected to grow to more than 5,000 GW over the next 20 years; this means a 7x growth rate. This growth of […]
Geopolitical developments in recent years and months have left most nations staring at an energy crisis. The energy security of countries has traditionally hinged on the oil and gas sector and will continue to do […]
“Climate Change” is no longer just a buzzword but has been widely acknowledged as a global threat. Limiting warming to around 1.5°C would require global greenhouse […]
India has joined the global race to develop a green hydrogen economy to bolster its energy security. After the release of India’s maiden green hydrogen policy, private and state-owned companies have made a flurry of […]
India’s rooftop solar (RTS) sector has immense growth potential though it is underperforming currently with only 8 GW installed capacity as against the 40 GW target set for 2022. The potential needs to be realised […]
Bulk power purchase globally as well as in India was long tied only to long-term power purchase agreements and still is to a large extent. But an option to adjust positions due to change in […]
Computer programming has evolved in the last 50 years to solve very complicated scientific and engineering problems including getting planes to fly and complex industries to operate. Traditional computer programming involves a human first designing […]
