This study aims to develop a bottom-up understanding of the bottlenecks that impede the success of decentralised solutions to renewable energy adoption, particularly rooftop solar. It also seeks to identify a roadmap for directing policy support for overcoming these barriers.

CEEW conducted a detailed assessment of the technical, economic, and market potential of deploying rooftop solar (RTS) in Indian households by adopting the bottom-up approach. i.e. starting at the household level.

This study highlights the urgent need for India to rapidly scale up its solar energy capacity to achieve its renewable energy targets. This finding emphasizes the critical role solar power plays in India’s transition to clean and sustainable energy.

This report builds a compelling case for India to look beyond land and institute an ecosystem that supports the installation and operationalization of floating solar photovoltaics (FSPV) power plants. Since these plants are installed on the underutilized surfaces of large water bodies, no land needs to be diverted from other uses.

Worldwide employment in renewable energy reached 13.7 million in 2022, an increase of one million since 2021 and up from a total of 7.3 million in 2012, according to this new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The productive use of electricity in rural communities can contribute to significant socioeconomic development and increased welfare.

The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has introduced a draft regulation to revise the deviation settlement policy concerning solar and wind power producers.

This report analyses changes in global electricity generation from January to June 2023, compared to the same period last year, to measure the progress of the global clean energy transition.

India is among the top five leading countries in solar power installed capacity. Of India’s ambitious target of 500-GW RE capacity by 2030, over 292 GW is likely to be generated using solar power. This increase in installed capacity, while promising, also opens doors to massive waste streams and increased emissions.

This working paper examines Components A and C of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM KUSUM) scheme in India, which include small solar-powered generators and on-grid solar pumps, respectively.
