In what can be termed as the first significant move towards resolving the issue of land constraints for renewable energy project development, the Government of Gujarat has released its land policy for such projects. The […]
For the past one year, the solar industry has been focusing more on rooftop solar development. An increasing number of states are reforming their net metering regulations. In Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, new net […]
The Indian renewable energy sector has finally come of age. The phenomenal growth is a result of dynamic policy changes at the central and state levels, sustained decrease in capital costs and tariffs, and regulatory […]
Tamil Nadu has been one of the early adopters of solar power in the country. With abundant solar irradiation, strong political will and favourable policy measures, the state has been able to rapidly scale up […]
India has about 76 GW of installed renewable energy capacity and policymakers are quite confident that the set target of 175 GW will be achieved on time, by 2022. That said, the renewable energy sector […]
Around 500 GW of solar panels have been installed worldwide. In India itself, the installed solar capacity has crossed 25 GW and the country is expected to add over 11 GW over the next few […]
The current rooftop solar capacity in India stands at 3.4 GW. Of this, rooftop solar projects set up for commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers account for 70 per cent. Moreover, rooftop solar uptake in the […]
For more than a decade, Jiyalal’s four bighas of cultivable land in Tarapur Naya Gaon village in the Mashobra block of Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh, had been rendered barren. The reason, monkeys and boars that […]
With energy security becoming a priority for all economies, investments in the energy sector have largely remained stable. This is especially true for large utilities, as most countries have regulatory frameworks that ensure low risks […]
Pressure is building up in Germany as it is striving to deliver on its promise of energy transition, the Energiewende. At the latest UN climate summit, the COP24 (Conference of the Parties), held in Katowice, […]
The installed rooftop solar capacity in India stands at around 3.4 GW. Of this, the residential segment accounts for a mere 521 MW. This is insignificant given the huge potential in this segment. In an […]
The availability of domestic finance has been one of the primary challenges for the renewable energy sector in India. High capital costs, falling margins, grid integration and transmission issues all contribute to the high risk […]
