The South African Cabinet has approved the South African Renewable Energy Masterplan (SAREM) for implementation, targeting energy security and broader industrial growth.
The objective for a hydropower hybrid is to take maximum advantage of the integrated technologies by maximizing their utilization, the benefits they bring, and their efficiency. It is widely known that standalone hydropower plants and other technologies can help manage the variability of VRE in the power system.
This report proposes a comprehensive classification of energy sources and products to address the lack of standardised global energy statistics – an issue that continues to undermine effective policy-making and international collaboration in the context of the energy transition.
In a significant development, the Ministry of Power has implemented key amendments to the Guidelines for Renewable Energy Bidding, marking a strategic shift in the competitive bidding process for grid-connected renewable energy power projects with energy storage systems.
India’s policymakers have recognised the importance of energy storage systems (ESS) to the country’s evolving power landscape and have already awarded more than 8 gigawatts (GW) of such tenders, allocating 60% of these in 2023 alone, according to this new joint report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and JMK R
As India switches away from a coal-based to a more sustainable energy use pattern, which pathway will it adopt? What is the nature of challenges that it will face, and who will be affected? Who will gain?
The Ministry of Power (MoP) has issued national framework aimed at promoting energy storage systems (ESS). The key objectives of the framework are to ensure a constant supply of renewable energy, reduce emissions, and lower energy costs by incentivising ESS deployment while reducing the reliance on fossil fuel power plants.
This paper explores how the EU can enhance its policy for a low-carbon future by learning from successful energy storage approaches in California, South Korea, and Australia. The EU’s decarbonisation goals will involve transformative change, and front and centre of this shift will be the bloc’s most polluting sector: electricity generation.
While India has been adding renewable energy capacity at a fast pace, this new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) finds that to meet its emissions intensity reduction target for 2030, the country needs to ramp up the share of clean energy in its power system.
