The renewable energy segment has grown at a fast pace in the past few years. In India alone, the share of renewable energy sources in the total installed capacity has increased from 10.62 per […]
The Indian solar power segment has emerged as one of the most dynamic markets in the country with increased capacity additions and an inevitable redistribution of market shares among companies. Multiple factors are contributing to […]
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) is in the process of determining new forbearance and floor prices for renewable energy certificates (RECs), which will come into effect from April 1, 2017. The control period for […]
The year 2017 is turning out to be quite eventful for the renewable energy sector. First, solar power prices plummeted to Rs 3.30 per kWh in early February in the auction for developing the […]
Status of sanctioned projects […]
In a major financial boost to India’s commitment to achieve 175 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2022 and reduce the carbon intensity of its GDP by 30-35 per cent by 2030, two of […]
Gujarat is among the leading states in renewable energy capacity addition. Growing variable generation is leading to issues related to grid stability and reliability in the state. This has resulted in the loss of generation […]
Solar energy is being increasingly seen as a strong value proposition by not only power producers but also a number of industrial, commercial and residential entities. These entities have been harnessing solar energy with the […]
Providing reliable power supply to India’s 73 million rural households is crucial for unlocking the country’s full economic potential. Households that do not have access to the electricity grid rely on inefficient and often dangerous […]
India is witnessing significant growth in terms of renewable energy capacity addition. While solar and wind power have been in the limelight, biomass has not experienced similar interest despite being widely available. In fact, […]
With the Twelfth Plan ending in March 2017, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) released the draft National Electricity Plan (NEP) with a short-term perspective for the next five years and a long-term vision for […]
The 1,000 MW competitive bidding wind tender floated by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has received bids for 2,594 MW. The financial bids, which are scheduled for February 23, 2017, will determine the […]
Compared to the massive support the renewable energy sector has been receiving from the government for the past couple of years, Union Budget 2017-18 has little to offer to the sector. Apart from the announcement […]
In 2010, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission had set the levellised tariff for solar projects at Rs 14.95 per kWh for 2010-11. Seven years later, such exorbitant rates sound unthinkable, with solar tariffs hitting a […]
At the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Paris, India made a commitment to reduce its carbon emissions intensity by 33-35 per cent by 2030. These targets are closely related to the […]
As global markets transform rapidly, various non-traditional markets are opening up, bringing new products, services and business models. These changes, which have been largely driven by the opportunities arising from the challenges of rapid urbanisation, […]
Renewable energy systems comprise a large number of electrical connections and hence are vulnerable to energy losses at the contact points. In order to minimise these losses, long-lasting and secure cable connections with low contact […]
In the past few years, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracting has emerged as the most preferred option for renewable energy developers as it passes the majority of the design, development and construction risks to […]
The government has increased its focus on promoting energy sustainability and increasing energy access through clean, cheap and reliable sources. To this end, it has set a target of developing 175 GW of renewable energy […]
The goods and services tax (GST), which will subsume all indirect taxes and integrate the country into a single market, is arguably the biggest tax reform to be taken since Independence. Under GST, credits of […]
