The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has unveiled the draft design specifications for Solar Cold Storage (SCS), setting the stage for public feedback and stakeholder engagement.

The Government of India has approved amendments to the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules, 2020.

Traditionally, mini grids have been viewed as “off-grid” systems that are built and operated solely for communities without electricity.

Achieving economies of scale in the distributed renewable energy sector is a major challenge, partly due to the lower capacity potential of installations and remote locations.

India’s ambition to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030 is steering the nation towards innovative solutions in renewable energy. With solar and wind power at the forefront, the variability and intermittency of these sources pose challenges to grid operations.

The narrative on agrivoltaics (agriPV) primarily revolves around farmers, recognising their central role in integrating solar energy with agriculture. Increasing farmer incomes and other co-benefits is a critical component in any government plan for agriPV across the globe.

As the transition to a low-carbon economy gathers pace across emerging economies and new technologies and untapped demographic segments come to the fore, Blended Finance offers a solution that can help alleviate the technological and market risks allowing such projects to access affordable capital, a new joint report by the Institute for Energy

Many emerging and developing economies are missing out on the wave of global clean energy investment as the high cost of capital for new projects is deterring developers and stifling opportunities in the new energy economy, particularly for some of the world’s poorest countries, this new IEA report finds.

The Guidelines for Tariff Based Competitive Bidding Process for Procurement of Power from Grid Connected Solar PV Power Projects have been notified vide Resolution No. 27/01/2023-RCM published in the Gazette of India (Extraordinary) (Part 1 Section 1) on 28thJuly 2023.
