Renewable energy manufacturers continue to face certain challenges in the industry. Although they have gained maturity over the years, wind equipment suppliers continue to struggle with capacity restrictions owing to competitive bidding and thin margins, […]
A key opportunity for renewable energy (especially solar power and bioenergy) lies in off-grid applications. These applications are suitable for unelectrified households in areas where grid extension is neither feasible nor cost effective. To tap […]
Innovation is thriving in the renewable energy space and promises to deliver positive change. But for real success on the ground, what is needed is a robust, combined effort in the areas of technology, business […]
The Indian renewable energy sector has been growing at a rapid pace over the past decade. This growth has been fuelled by falling prices and aggressive auctioning. While about 15 GW of capacity was auctioned […]
While India has justifiably earned acclaim for its ground-mounted solar programme for which the installed capacity has reached more than 32 GW, its solar rooftop installations are still below 5 GW. The rooftop solar segment […]
The past decade witnessed both positive and negative changes that impacted the wind power segment. The period saw a capacity addition of 26 GW with a high of 3,200 MW during 2011-12 and 5,000 MW […]
The humble battery has come a long way to become a crucial part of storage systems and electric vehicles (EVs), two technologies that are catalysing India’s path to emission reduction. Storage systems have emerged as […]
Growth in installed capacity Renewable energy capacity has expanded significantly over the past decade. Starting out with about 56 GW of installed capacity, India has now crossed 135 GW. A dominant share of almost 73 […]
Acknowledging the sustainable development goals as set by the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016, the entire world is now moving towards a greener, more sustainable future. India too is no stranger to this change and […]
The past decade has seen the maturing of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, for the sector to emerge as the largest source of new capacity addition around the globe. As electric grid […]
The government has been offering a conducive environment to Indian developers in the bioenergy space towards the production of biofuels. To this end, in May 2018, the National Biofuel Policy was launched to achieve 10 […]
Over the past decade, the renewable energy sector has witnessed various path-breaking reforms that have shaped it and helped it grow. Many of these will likely continue to help the sector sustain growth in the […]
As India moves to a future driven by renewable energy, it is becoming clear that the country cannot rely solely on the renewable energy technologies that have already been established. Given the growing power demand and […]
The pace of poverty reduction in villages, mostly of farmers and landless labourers, has been much slower than the progress achieved by educated Indians living in urban areas and working in organised and industrial sectors. […]
