The global wind industry installed a record 117GW of new capacity in 2023, making it the best year ever for new wind energy, finds this year’s Global Wind Report from the Global Wind Energy Council.

Electrification of end-uses and the growth of solar and wind is changing how electricity systems operate on all time scales. This report analyses how seasonal variations in both demand and supply affect electricity system operations to 2050 – in Europe, India, Indonesia and Korea – and what sources will be used to manage them.

A decade on from its launch, the Global Atlas for Renewable Energy continues to represent a unique, free global resource for assessing the renewable potential of countries and regions.

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 Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) on March 15, 2024, issued the JSERC (Renewable Energy Purchase Obligation) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2024, to further amend the JSERC (Renewable Energy Purchase Obligation) Regulation, 2016. This shall come into force on April 01, 2024.

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.

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.

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. 27/03/2023-RCM published in the Gazette of India (Extraordinary) (Part1 - Section 1) on 21st August, 2023.

The recent amendment issued on 2nd February 2024, the Ministry of Power has deleted the provision related to debarring RE Generators in cases of delays in the commencement of power supply.
