A recent analysis of global project development success by Fitch Solutions highlighted that India suffers from having the highest number of cancelled or suspended power projects. This translated into the ratings agency downward revising its […]
Land acquisition has always been one of the most critical issues in setting up renewable energy projects, whether solar or wind. Solar and wind power projects are location dependent, and these resources are limited to […]
Decentralised solar applications have helped many consumers in situations of unreliable power supply. One area that has benefited greatly is the agricultural sector, which is witnessing increased uptake of solar feeders and solar pumps across […]
According to International Energy Agency statistics, the year 2019 has witnessed cumulative global solar installations crossing 600 GW, with roughly 115 GW of new capacity addition. This marks a 12 per cent increase in annual […]
The procurement of renewable energy by corporates is increasing in India. The automobile industry, including car, bus, motorbike and scooter manufacturers, has contributed significantly towards this change. The biggest motivator for these companies to shift […]
The solar power sector in India is transitioning from multicrystalline module technology to monocrystalline module technology. While the latter is more efficient and less sensitive to high temperatures, it is also more expensive. India traditionally […]
Covid-19 hit global solar supply chains for at least two quarters of this year, and in many markets the situation has not yet normalised. Meanwhile, trade wars between global economies and changing policy regimes are […]
Solar power is the fastest growing renewable energy segment, with a rapidly expanding range of products and innovations. One of the technologies in the spotlight for photovoltaic (PV) power generation is monocrystalline PV cells. Monocrystalline […]
India has roughly 36 GW of installed solar power capacity as of August 2020, almost entirely made up of solar PV technology. It has taken the country over five years to build this capacity from […]
Kerala has been making slow but steady progress in the renewable energy space. Currently, renewable energy makes up only 7.6 per cent of the total installed power generation capacity. As of September 2019, the total […]
The geography of the Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands prevents the setting up of a single power grid. Moreover, unlike other states and UTs, these islands are not connected to the national power grid. […]
India’s renewable power sector has witnessed increasing investments over the past few years, particularly in the solar and wind segments on account of their competitive advantage vis-à-vis other sources of power. By awarding contracts to multiple […]
The Adani Group has built a strong presence in the renewable energy sector, establishing subsidiaries such as Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) and Adani Solar. The group has been involved in almost all aspects of […]
Plenty of sunny days and a huge residential base places India’s residential segment at the forefront in terms of harnessing solar energy. This huge potential, which was mostly untapped for a long time, is slowly […]
Power distribution has remained the weakest link in India’s power sector for a very long time. While the generation and transmission segments have evolved and become competitive and efficient over the years, distribution still struggles due […]
Energy storage has witnessed immense growth in India on the back of increasing renewable energy penetration and the electrification of transport. Battery manufacturing in the country has been scaled up to meet the growing demand. […]
Multinational corporations across the world have started to work towards reducing their carbon footprint. The big technology companies have taken the lead in this space. The use of energy-intensive data centres – which are mostly […]
Financial pressure has been mounting on renewable energy companies owing to the challenges prevailing in the sector. Some of the key issues are inadequate transmission infrastructure, continued under subscription of tenders and inconsistencies in the […]
Renewable energy sources are not equally well distributed across the country. For example, only seven states have significant wind energy potential, and it is the same scenario for other renewable sources such as small-hydro and […]
Solar-based power generation has emerged as a viable option in the captive power space over the past five years owing to rapidly falling capital costs. Even though coal-based captive power plants (CPPs) continue to occupy […]
