The Indian solar power industry is awaiting the results of an anti-dumping investigation into solar cell and module imports from China, Taiwan and Malaysia. The outcome could have far-reaching implications for the solar manufacturing industry. […]
We bring you an interview with Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog from our 2017 archives Think tank NITI Aayog has set an ambitious target of 100 GW of clean energy by 2019-20 and wants financial […]
The country’s ambitious renewable energy targets have opened up new avenues, driving many companies to foray into the sector. A case in point is Indian consumer electronics major Micromax Energy Limited, which has entered the […]
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) is spearheading the government’s ambitious target of achieving 100 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022. It is laying focus on the efficient and timely implementation of solar […]
The share of renewable energy sources, primarily wind and solar, is poised to grow significantly in the Indian power system. The government has set a target of 175 GW of installed renewable capacity by 2022, […]
With 175 GW of renewable energy capacity targeted to be installed by 2022, the power sector needs to gear up to integrate the electricity generated into the grid for transmission across the country. However, given […]
With the increase in the share of renewable energy in total generation arises the need to optimise generation and maintain grid reliability. One of the solutions for addressing the challenges of large-scale renewable integration and […]
The growth of solar energy as a mainstream source of power generation has so far been limited by the uncertainty and variability associated with its integration into the grid network. While battery storage is an […]
The deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind technologies has grown rapidly in recent years in the US. With this, the various stakeholders have become increasingly interested in enhancing the value of these variable-generation resources […]
At the current stage of transformation in renewable-based energy generation, the Indian power sector needs a range of demand and supply-side regulatory reforms. The reforms should be aimed at enabling effective grid management and providing […]
Awell-defined policy and regulatory framework to support energy storage is so far absent in India. However, a handful of grid-connected energy storage projects (other than pumped hydropower storage) have been awarded over the past year […]
Net metering was introduced in India to provide a boost to the solar rooftop segment. The mechanism allows for a two-way flow of power, wherein the consumer can generate electricity from the rooftop solar photovoltaic […]
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 […]
