At present, India has estimated annual emissions of 2.6 gigatonne per annum (gtpa), making it the third largest emitter in the world, only behind China and the US. To address the issue, the Indian government […]
The captive capacity of Indian commercial and industrial (C&I) units is on the rise owing to the increasing affordability of variable renewable energy and the growing adoption of technologies such as IoT and data analytics. […]
The Indian solar power market has grown rapidly over the past few years to cross 61 GW of total installations, much more than any other clean power source including wind power, biopower or even the […]
India is well endowed with sources of solar and wind energy. But vanilla solar and wind projects are not enough to meet the round-the-clock (RTC) power requirements of consumers given the intermittent nature of wind […]
As of September 2022, India had installed 41 GW of onshore wind energy, significantly short of its 60 GW target to be achieved by this year. Over the past few years, it has been observed […]
By Sarthak Takyar Bioenergy is a versatile renewable energy source, having the potential to replace fossil fuels. However, it often gets overshadowed by the success of the solar and wind segments. Although India has already […]
By Sarthak Takyar Policymakers have been proactive in introducing policies and regulations in the renewable energy space. They have been working extensively on all renewable energy segments to achieve the ambitious goals that have been […]
India is experiencing a surge in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as it strives to depend less on imported energy and move towards a more sustainable future. Electric mobility can help combat pollution due […]
At COP26 held in Glasgow in November 2021, India had announced ambitious goals to increase its non-fossil fuel capacity to 500 GW and meet 50 per cent of its energy needs from renewable energy sources […]
Energy storage plays an important role in maintaining the dynamic system of balancing energy supply and demand, and contributing towards a more flexible and reliable grid system. Given the intermittent nature of renewable energy, energy […]
Hydroelectric plants (HEPs) have matured as a technology and they now have the ability to rapidly ramp up or down generation in order to adjust according to load, meet peak demand requirements, and compensate for […]
The global hydrogen demand is expected to increase from 94 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in 2021 to approximately 120-140 mtpa by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 4 per cent, according to […]
The rise of the Indian wind power industry has been propelled by a confluence of factors, including an evolving policy framework, emerging market dynamics, and a growing appetite for green power generation and consumption. India […]
By Neha Bhatnagar The Indian power transmission segment is set for a phase of accelerated growth, mainly driven by the need to evacuate large-scale renewables. With India targeting to meet 50 per cent of its […]
By Sarthak Takyar Commercial and industrial (C&I) customers have been adopting rooftop solar projects to reduce their electricity bills and meet their climate commitments. There are broadly two key models for the development of rooftop […]
By Devangshu Datta Stubble burning across north India, especially in Punjab and Haryana, is a primary cause of high air pollution in the winter. There are economic reasons for this practice. It is literally a […]
By Sarthak Takyar To promote domestic manufacturing and reduce the dependence on solar imports from various countries, especially China, the Indian government has taken a number of policy initiatives. These include the production-linked incentive (PLI) […]
