Small Island Developing States (SIDS) account for less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and yet they are home to some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable populations, making action to mitigate global heating urgent. Renewables hold substantial promise for SIDS.

The Delhi government launched the Delhi Solar Policy 2023, in which residents consuming over 400 units of electricity can install solar panels bring electricity bill charge to zero.

Clean energy is growing rapidly, as annual deployment of a number of key technologies has surged ahead in recent years driven by policy support and continued cost declines. Their growth is starting to make a dent on emissions and reshape energy markets.

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.
