A new modelling by the global think tank Ember and TERI highlights the crucial role of declining Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project costs. This analysis underscores that faster BESS cost reductions will be a key driver for an effective coal phase-down in India’s power sector. The report lays out different possible stages of a […]
The world of renewable energy is diverse, including solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass. Among these, wind power is among the most efficient and scalable clean energy sources. Offshore wind energy farms promise higher energy yields and are far from residential areas, reducing noise and visual impact. As technology advances and costs drop, offshore wind power […]
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) recently issued an amendment to the guidelines for onshore wind project development, updating the 2016 framework to emphasize optimizing energy production through precise micrositing of wind turbine generators. This amendment enables developers and investors to strategically place turbines within available land, fostering repowering and intercropping initiatives without […]
The Union Cabinet approval of the viability gap funding (VGF) scheme, with a total allocation of Rs 7,453 crore, is a boost for the offshore wind energy segment. It could trigger investments into a space developers have shied away from due to high cost, operational challenges, and offtake-related risks, according to CRISIL. This is a […]
Gujarat-based, state electricity regulation board Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) declared Gensol Engineering as the lowest bidder for the project in a energy storage tender issued by them. The EPC company emerged as the lowest bidder for its 250 MW/500 MWh standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) project. GUVNL released the tender for this […]
In March 2022, India’s leading renewable energy company Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) collaborated with another Indian leading player in the energy storage systems–Greenko. The partnership was to seek the Hyderabad-based company’s assistance in getting Round-The-Clock (RTC) power for AGEL’s projects through Greenko’s PSP assets. PSPs are often termed as giant batteries which can storage […]
Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) growth required an annual wind installation tripling to at least 320 GW. GWEC report found that the onshore wind energy recovered from a growth slowdown it currently is ranked fourth in total wind installations. It has installed 45 GW of onshore wind as of January 2024 and it’s the second […]
India’s potential for Agri-Photovoltaic (APV) varies significantly across districts, ranging from 3,156 GW to 13,803 GW for various APV technologies according to recent report. In a report by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, EY, and CSTEP they projected APV capacity from 2024 to 2040, to achieve a cumulative addition of 20 GW and […]
The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) government recently constituted an appraisal committee for renewable energy projects in the state. As per its recent order, the government sanctioned the constitution of the Technical Appraisal Committee (TAC). This TAC was formed for the implementation of renewable energy projects worth more than 12 crores. These projects are expected to […]
