India has a rich and economically exploitable hydropower potential. In addition to generating low carbon energy, hydropower has the potential to complement the integration of more intermittent sources of renewable energy such as wind and […]
A campaign ‘No Means No’ initiated in the Kinnaur region in Himachal Pradesh petitions for an immediate halt to dangerous hydropower projects in the region, which they described as “fragile and overexploited.” This comes only […]
The small, hilly state of Himachal Pradesh relies on hydropower to meet most of its power requirements. However, hydropower has a number of constraints, such as ecological and environmental concerns, and dependence on erratic rainfall. […]
The cold desert of Ladakh, which was established as a union territory (UT) in October 2019, experiences long, harsh winters, during which it becomes isolated from the rest of the country. The demand for power […]
Over the past decade, India’s net power generation capacity has increased by 212 GW – nearly the total grid size of France. Roughly 40 per cent of this addition came from renewable energy sources, including […]
The journey of the renewable energy sector over the past decade has been eventful and exciting, though sometimes tough and challenging. From the launch of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) to the setting […]
Over the past decade, there have been a number of landmark renewable energy projects that have been critical in the sector’s growth journey. These projects have set new benchmarks in terms of technology, project design, […]
Over the past decade, renewable energy financing has gone through various ups and downs depending on the investor sentiment. However, through all of this, private equity (PE) has remained one of the most dominant sources […]
India being such a large and geographically diverse country has led to renewable energy evolving differently across the states. These differences could be due to the availability of renewable energy resources, the policy and regulatory […]
Taking advantage of the huge push to renewable energy development over the past decade, a number of companies set up clean energy ventures. Supported by an influx of foreign capital, these ventures have grown in […]
Over the past decade, renewable energy technologies have evolved at a rapid pace. Technology advancements and design innovations have been taking place continuously with the aim of increasing efficiencies and reducing the cost of producing […]
