With clean energy transition and future energy security foremost on their agendas, countries are racing to expand their renewable energy portfolios. India, with a target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel based power by 2030, […]
Offshore wind has the potential to play a significant role in India’s energy transition. As compared to onshore wind installations, offshore wind farms are more effective in generating power due to stronger and more consistent […]
The German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency has granted Iberdrola approval to build Baltic Eagle, the Baltic Sea’s largest offshore wind farm. With a capacity of 476 MW, Baltic Eagle will be able to generate […]
The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is the largest ISO of about 38 balancing authorities in the western interconnection, handling over two-thirds of the electric load in the West. In collaboration with the California Public […]
The National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) of India and ORE Catapult of the UK have signed a joint declaration of intent under which the two wind energy organisations of their respective countries will establish […]
India’s total installed wind power capacity stands at roughly 40 GW as of March 2022. Meanwhile, solar power capacity has crossed wind power installations in a short span of time to reach 54 GW. In […]
Tata Power has announced that it has joined forces with RWE Renewable GmbH of Germany to explore potential for a joint development of offshore wind projects in India. According to the reports, the MoU between […]
The installed wind power capacity reached 39.99 GW as of October 31, 2021, around 20 GW short of the 60 GW target for 2022. The leading states for installed wind capacity are Tamil Nadu (9,846.69 […]
With the aim to harness the large coastline India is bestowed with, for the development of offshore wind energy projects, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) notified the National Offshore Wind Energy […]
Offshore wind has fast emerged as a vital component of Europe’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2020, Europe added 2.9 GW of offshore capacity, which involved 356 new offshore wind turbines connected […]
The past decade has witnessed a massive global movement towards offshore wind farms as countries expand their renewable energy capacities to meet their power requirements. As compared to onshore wind installations, offshore wind farms get […]
When it comes to channelling the carbon-neutral power of offshore wind, the US is far behind other industrialised nations such as China and Germany. So far, the US has only two operational offshore wind installations, […]
The US offshore wind industry is witnessing large-scale deployment. As of end 2019, the US had a total of 30 MW of grid-connected offshore wind capacity. The north-eastern states have been driving strong demand for offshore […]
Renewable energy has established itself as a preferred source for meeting energy needs across countries. Having added an unprecedented 200 GW of renewable capacity through the year, the total renewable power capacity (including hydropower) stood […]
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 […]
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 […]
Introduced in 2017, competitive bidding for wind power projects has yielded several positives. The bidding mechanism has created a more transparent and competitive industry, as tariffs are determined based on developers’ analysis of location, counterparty […]
In a recent press statement, R.K. Singh, minister for power and renewable energy, said, “The country will overachieve its 175 GW renewable energy capacity target on the back of new schemes like wind-solar hybrids, floating […]
India’s wind resource assessment (WRA) programme started in 1984 under the aegis of the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources, now the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), and was undertaken by the Indian Institute […]
