The emergence of electric mobility has pushed the interest in batteries to the forefront. Batteries are considered as the powerhouse of an electric vehicle (EV). Imperatives to decarbonise the transport sector has led to an […]
India has been moving towards advanced technologies in transport, and some key modern technologies have entered its highway network system. The government is actively planning to introduce E-roads such as E-highways and E-expressways for charging […]
For developers, working in the commercial and industrial (C&I) solar space in India has been nothing short of a circus. They have had a good time benefiting from corporate demand for renewable energy and high […]
India’s installed solar power capacity has grown by leaps and bounds over the years to stand at 55.34 GW as of April 2022. Supportive market dynamics and favourable cost economics have led to a huge […]
India aspires to achieve a net-zero emissions target by 2070. The transport sector of India is the third most greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sector with the road transport sector as the major contributor. Out of […]
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 […]
Storage and transportation of hydrogen could be a potential challenge in scaling up the hydrogen economy for India. The existing infrastructure is limited and could be insufficient to support the widespread use of hydrogen as […]
Legacy issues continue to create hurdles for solar power developers. These include policy uncertainty, frequent regulatory changes, land acquisition issues, inadequate power evacuation infrastructure, and the imposition of basic customs duties and GST. In addition, […]
The Government of India, in 2015, had set an ambitious target of installing 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022. The target included 40 GW of rooftop solar (RTS) systems and 60 GW of ground-mounted utility-scale […]
The world is changing and so is the way of business. Today, companies no more just look at squeezing costs, driving volumes and tapping resources. Instead, they are keen on rethinking their business models and […]
The Standing Committee on Energy (2021-2022) has released its 21st report, titled “Financial Constraints in Renewable Energy Sector”. The report was presented to the Lok Sabha on February 3, 2022 and was laid in the […]
Kerala plans to become carbon neutral by 2050. To this end, the state needs to decarbonise different sectors. It started with ultra-low emission technologies such as compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas and hybrids. Now […]
As most renewable energy projects, especially solar projects, are land intensive, floating solar is emerging as an efficient alternative. According to an article titled “Renewable Energy and Land Use in India: A Vision to Facilitate […]
By Sarthak Takyar In India, instead of a carbon tax linked to emissions (apart from select pilot schemes), a broad carbon tax is levied on the consumption of polluting goods in a bid to increase […]
India plans to raise its non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity to 500 GW and meet 50 per cent of its energy requirements using renewable energy sources by 2030. A key issue with traditional renewable energy sources […]
Phasing down the use of coal power is a difficult and complex task. We can, however, move towards a “just transition” (Glasgow Climate Pact, 2021) by implementing a comprehensive strategy to maximise the utilisation of […]
A recent positive trend, particularly for developers in the commercial and industrial (C&I) space, has been in the greater interest of consumers in renewable energy. They are looking to not only reduce their operational expenses, […]
At the recently-concluded 26th session of the Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, the prime minister announced that India would aim to increase its non-fossil fuel capacity to 500 GW by 2030. He also said […]
With a reduction in solar prices, it is widely acknowledged that solar energy today is more viable than conventional electricity in project life cycle terms. This is equally true of rooftop solar projects. However, most […]
ReNew Power, established in 2011, commenced operations with a 25.2 MW wind power project in Jasdan, Gujarat. Since then, the company has grown rapidly, backed by strong investors, and has emerged as one of India’s […]
