With the increasing consumption of solar energy in India, the state government of Andhra Pradesh has also decided to avoid the power crisis by utilizing solar power in the state. Andhra Pradesh has released the detailed list of qualified bidders for 500 MW solar projects, 63 bids qualified the selection criteria, totalling up to 1291 MW.

Due to the decline in the upfront capital cost, the cost of generation of solar power generation plant has become competitive with many conventional power generation technologies.

This report looks at the nature of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) and the resulting challenges associated with the integration of VRE technologies into a power system. It provides an overview of the measures available to limit and manage these challenges.

This is the Draft Guidelines for Implementation of Scheme for setting up of 2000 MW Grid-connected Solar PV Power Projects under JNNSM, Batch-III-Tranche-I “State Specific VGF Scheme” .

Drawing on the Asian Development Bank’s experience installing the rooftop solar photovoltaic system at its headquarters, the Handbook for Rooftop Solar Development in Asia hopes to demystify the process of developing solar photovoltaic projects in urban areas.

WWF-India conducted a Renewable Energy Survey to understand people’s perception on renewable energy and determine the level of acceptability among Indian citizens of the use of renewable energy sources.The People’s Perception Study showed that nearly 55% people surveyed haven’t used any renewable energy applications but more than 95% of them are

This policy aims to lay a framework for harnessing the ubiquitous Solar energy in the State by utilising the empty rooftops of the buildings in the State. This policy is also a mandate and in synergy with to provisions of The Electricity Act, 2003.

These guidelines are for 3000 MW. MNRE will indicate the total quantity for various States based on response received from the States. The scope of these guidelines is limited to providing the necessary policy and operational framework for development of projects under the above mentioned “State Specific Bundling Scheme”.

This summary report informs on the journey of knowledge transfer on decentralised energy access from India to Africa and other Asian countries, the outcomes and the next steps.

Universal electricity access – one of the targets of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative for 2030 – will remain unachievable unless countries adopt a market-based approach to off-grid renewable energy deployment.
