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 manufacturing of solar modules can be classified into two stages – pre-cell or silicon-to-wafer stage and post wafer, that is, wafers-to-cells-and-modules. In India, however, there is very little incentive for domestic players to move […]
By Saptak Ghosh, Research Scientist, Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy India has set an ambitious rooftop solar photovoltaic target of 40 GW by 2021-22. However, with only approximately 6.8 GW installed till […]
Energy storage has emerged as a key element of grid stabilisaton and electric vehicle (EV) uptake. In the renewable energy sector, it addresses the intermittency issue of solar and wind power, and ensures a smooth […]
India’s renewable energy capacity has grown by leaps and bounds in a few short years, on the back of major auctions for utility-scale solar and wind power projects. The increase in the scale and size […]
The Indian electricity market is gearing up to take its next big step. This will be brought about by the implementation of the market-based economic despatch (MBED) model, proposed by the Ministry of Power (MoP) […]
The largest Middle Eastern country, Saudi Arabia, is ranked as the second major oil producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The country, which is home to around 34.8 million people, holds 17 […]
Working towards its ambitious renewable energy targets, India has progressively increased the volume of renewable energy capacity in the past few years. This expansion is particularly being carried out on the back of the solar […]
By Shreyans Jain, Analyst, Climate Finance, Climate Policy Initiative The Government of India has set a target of installing 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022. In this pursuit, the country has witnessed large capacity […]
The simple idea that the sun never sets – always shining at some location across the globe, where its light can be converted into energy – led to the conceptualisation of the “One Sun One […]
In June 2021, the Department of Heavy Industry released a detailed notification on the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage, for the implementation of giga-scale ACC manufacturing facilities […]
The government has been refocusing its efforts on promoting domestic manufacturing of solar cells and modules. In light of this, various manufacturers have expressed interest in setting up or expanding their manufacturing bases in the […]
By Tusharjeet Bhardwaj, Founder and Proprietor, Saurya Urja Technology Energy storage plays a vital role in grid integration and the balancing of variable generation sources. By just increasing the system’s overall flexibility, energy storage systems […]
There is a strong emphasis on scaling up solar power in India. With an increasing number of projects being installed across the country, there is more demand for quality equipment. Cables and connectors form a […]
India’s renewable energy capacity has grown at an average annual rate of 11 per cent between April 2017 and March 2021, with roughly 35 GW of capacity installations. Solar power alone has been responsible for […]
Although not extensively talked about, junction boxes are a crucial component of solar panels. These devices are pre-installed on the back of solar modules with silicon adhesives and are designed to protect the electrical systems […]
There are many ways to maximise wind power generation at a particular site. One of the prime solutions is bigger rotors and blades, which can cover a wider area. The benefits of larger blades are […]
JSW Energy Limited is the energy arm of the JSW Group and is one of the leading private players in the power sector. The company has projects across the generation, transmission, manufacturing, and trading segments. […]
Power transmission lines from a number of renewable energy projects in western Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat have been disrupting the habitat of the Great Indian Bustard (GIB). This has had a detrimental impact on […]
A coalition of nations working together to promote solar power uptake and address their energy needs, the International Solar Alliance (ISA) has come a long way since its inception in 2015. With 95 signatories and […]
