New transmission lines are crucial for India’s renewable energy expansion. One of the flagship projects driving transmission grid expansion is the green energy corridor (GEC) project. Structured under two phases, GECs have played a key […]
By Preeti Wadhwa India has made remarkable progress in advancing its renewable energy sector through policy and regulatory announcements across the renewable energy and energy storage segments over the past one year. The key developments […]
By Sarthak Takyar In 2012, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (Powergrid) conducted a study in which it found that power evacuation and transmission infrastructure near potential renewable energy project sites was insufficient. To solve […]
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has given its approval for the second phase of the inter-state transmission system connected Green Energy Corridor (GEC) project, which involves a 13 GW renewable energy project. The project […]
India aims to increase the non-fossil fuel-based installed capacity to 500 GW by 2030. As of October 31, 2022, the installed capacity in the country stood at 409 GW, including 166 GW of renewable capacity […]
By Sarthak Takyar Policymakers have been proactive in introducing policies and regulations in the renewable energy space. They have been working extensively on all renewable energy segments to achieve the ambitious goals that have been […]
By Neha Bhatnagar The Indian power transmission segment is set for a phase of accelerated growth, mainly driven by the need to evacuate large-scale renewables. With India targeting to meet 50 per cent of its […]
To enable proper evacuation of renewable energy, India started planning for green energy corridors (GEC) almost a decade back. Ambitious targets have been set over the years in different phases. The implementation of GECs has […]
“India needs an additional 66.5 GW of ISTS network for renewable energy zones” Transmission-related issues have considerably slowed down renewable energy development in the country, and the problems are only likely to get aggravated with […]
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 […]
The Indian renewable energy sector has been witnessing unprecedented expansion. Renewable energy capacity in India crossed 50 GW in January 2017, doubling in the past five years. This was followed by record low solar and […]
