Provides a round-up of the renewable energy scenario in a specific state in India
As one of the leading industrialised states of India with thriving metropolitan cites, Maharashtra has always had a high demand for power. The growing concern over emissions from these industries and cities, and the consequent […]
Formed in the year 2000, the small hilly state of Uttarakhand has a significant potential for renewable energy generation, especially through hydropower. It has multiple micro-climatic zones such as “cold and sunny” and “cold and […]
The small hilly state of Uttarakhand was formed in the year 2000, and the premise was that its abundant hydropower and tourism potential would make the state profitable. Nearly two decades later, it is safe […]
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. […]
Telangana has undergone a transformative journey from being a power-deficit state formed only six years ago to becoming one of the leading states in solar power development. The state has built a unique model of […]
Owing to its high solar and wind power potential, Rajasthan was an early mover in the renewable energy space, attracting large developers with its large solar parks. At 9,667 MW, renewable energy makes up about 38 […]
In India, renewable energy resources are not equally distributed across the country. The country’s wind power potential is confined to only seven states, while solar power, though available throughout the country, has the best potential […]
Gujarat’s total renewable capacity crossed the 10,000 MW mark in 2020, making it the third state after Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to have more than 10 GW of installed capacity. It added the highest capacity […]
After its bifurcation, Andhra Pradesh has made considerable progress in reducing its peak energy deficit. In 2018-19, the state reported a deficit of a mere 0.1 per cent, with an energy demand of 63,861 MUs […]
Odisha expects to generate 29,972 MUs during 2019-20 as against its projected power demand for 34,174 MUs. As a result, the state will have an estimated power deficit of 12.3 per cent. During the period 2018-19, […]
Karnataka expects to generate 86,464 MUs during 2019-20 as against its projected power demand for only 78,751 MUs. As a result, the state will have a power surplus of 9.8 per cent. The state had […]
For the period 2019-20, Maharashtra has the highest projected power demand across all states in India, estimated at about 153,540 MUs. It has been working towards improving its energy deficit and has managed to bring […]
Located in northern India, the small union territory (UT) of Chandigarh is also the capital of two states, Punjab and Haryana. The UT does not have any conventional power generation capacity of its own. Thus, […]
By Khushboo Goyal With just 522 MW of installed renewable power capacity, the northern state of Haryana is lagging far behind its neighbours such as Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. However, things are beginning to […]
By Khushboo Goyal The newly formed union territory of Ladakh has been in the limelight recently, be it for the commissioning of a transmission line or the launch of the largest solar park tender in […]
By Dr Kunal Ghosh, Retired Professor and Head, Aerospace Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur Small wind turbines are suitable for remote windy areas. Ladakh qualifies as a remote region, which is reachable only through mountainous roads. […]
By Khushboo Goyal In the past two years, the state of Madhya Pradesh has emerged as one of the most active in solar power development. The state authorities’ innovative models for promoting solar power uptake […]
Madhya Pradesh has had several firsts to its credit in the renewable energy space. Key among these is the commissioning of the Rewa solar project and the supply of power to the DMRC through the […]
