By Devangshu Datta A review of data by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) indicates that power demand grew by a moderate 3 per cent year on year in FY 2025, compared to FY 2024 when […]
The Ministry of Power (MoP) has issued the second tranche of the viability gap funding (VGF) scheme to support the development of 30 GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in India. The VGF […]
The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) has released the draft Renewable Energy and Related Matters Regulations, 2025. The draft applies to grid-interactive renewable energy systems, captive consumers and generating projects, as well as consumers […]
India’s electricity demand is expanding with the rising urbanisation, digitalisation and increasing electrification of industries as well as transport, leading to the need for power infrastructure augmentation across all verticals – generation, transmission and distribution. […]
The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has issued a tender to procure 2,000 MW of pumped hydro storage capacity. The projects are to be developed on a build, own, operate, and maintain model for […]
During the financial year 2024–25, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), under the Ministry of Power, concurred detailed project reports (DPRs) for six hydro pumped storage projects (PSPs) totalling around 7.5 GW. The approved projects include […]
By Reya Ramdev One of the critical bottlenecks in meeting the ambitious clean energy goals is transmission infrastructure at the intra-state level. The central government as well as states have been investing heavily in infrastructure. […]
Hydropower is expected to play a key role in India’s energy transition. To this end, an enabling policy framework for harnessing the country’s hydropower potential, including pumped storage, has been put in place. At Renewable Watch’s recent […]
India has set an ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. To accomplish this goal, the country must significantly expand its variable renewable energy capacity, including solar and wind power. […]
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and the Ministry of Power (MoP) have introduced a procedure for verifying the captive status of captive power projects (CGP) and their users across multiple states. This applies to all […]
The Ministry of Power (MoP) has launched the National Electricity Plan for transmission. It was prepared by the Central Electricity Authority with the aim to transmit 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030 and over […]
