At the 15th Annual Solar Power in India conference organised by Renewable Watch, a developer in the commercial and industrial (C&I) solar segment with experience in both captive and open access projects remarked that their […]
India is rushing to meet its clean power goals of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel based power capacity by 2030, with timely policy interventions and well-planned auctions, but its renewable energy growth significantly depends on […]
In the decade spanning 2010-20, several countries shifted away from feed-intariffs (FiTs) to the process of auctions for allocating projects. With an increasing number of countries making this move, India too adopted the new paradigm […]
Indian solar installations were at an all-time high in 2021 as India installed a record 11.8 GW of solar capacity during the year. As the power sector continues to move away from conventional sources, solar […]
The electric vehicle (EV) industry in India is at a nascent stage with significant demand for the deployment of necessary charging infrastructure, enabling policies and regulations, manufacturing facilities and advanced battery technologies. India was ranked […]
Economies across the world are focusing on accelerating clean energy transition. While renewables have grown apace in the past few years, the recent Russia-Ukraine war and its impact on global energy prices has led countries […]
Offshore wind has the potential to play a significant role in India’s energy transition. As compared to onshore wind installations, offshore wind farms are more effective in generating power due to stronger and more consistent […]
By Sarthak Takyar Apart from the dasheri trees, which are in full flush at the moment, what’s striking about the drive through Uttar Pradesh’s mango belt is the proliferation of standalone solar panels in front […]
Round-the-clock (RTC) power, as the name suggests, literally means power supply that is available 24×7, throughout the year. In the case of renewables, resource intermittency is a critical drawback, preventing assured RTC power supply from […]
Coal-based capacity is the largest contributor to power generation in India, with a share of 70.2 per cent as of 2021-22. This demonstrates a great reliance on coal, which is undergoing shortage issues. Another drawback […]
Electric mobility is leading the decarbonisation of India’s transport sector. The country’s EV revolution is expected to be driven by the two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments. Of all private vehicles, over 70-80 per cent are two-wheelers. […]
Amid the rising impetus being given to green hydrogen by the government of India, the Renewable Watch magazine conducted a pilot survey to better understand the present market sentiment towards green hydrogen, in terms of […]
Renewable energy certificates (RECs) are important market-based instruments, promoting the sale and growth of renewable energy by helping obligated entities such as discoms, captive consumers and open access consumers in meeting their renewable purchase obligations […]
India has announced ambitious plans of setting up 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. This revised target (up from 450 GW previously) was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Climate Change […]
Setting a precedent for other states and safeguarding the interests of renewable energy developers and investors, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has, in a landmark order, upheld the sanctity of power purchase agreements (PPAs) between […]
In recent times, renewable energy has become an enabler of lives and livelihoods. Improving access to clean energy is a crucial objective of India’s various energy policies. It is also a global sustainable development goal. […]
Green hydrogen is perhaps the most promising market in the energy space globally at present. Its vast untapped potential and versatile range of applications across transport, power and other industries, as well as rising energy […]
A combination of circumstances has led to a greater focus on “green” and environmentally sustainable telecom, globally as well as in India. Given the need to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, telecom has to be […]
At the COP26 global climate summit in Glasgow in November 2021, India set an ambitious target to reach net zero emissions by 2070. Further, it announced that it would increase its non-fossil energy capacity to […]
Rapid development of the wind power sector and local value creation in the supply chain are opportunities for promoting economic growth and mitigating climate change. Since early 2020, India has committed at least $150 billion to […]
