Limiting the rise in global mean temperature to well below 2°C would require an energy transition of exceptional scope, depth and speed, according to an analysis by the International Energy Agency, including a doubling of annual average energy-related investments from current levels. As recent IEA estimates show, global energy-related CO2 …
Amid widespread talk of falling solar tariffs, a recent study has thrown up a contrary conclusion. "Adjusted for changes in capital costs and other parameters, bids in India have not trended down in the last 18 months," Bridge to India, a consultancy, said in a report that analysed price trends …
Solar panels on the rooftop that produce a kilowatt of power are no longer beyond the reach of ordinary citizens. Such a project will cost around Rs 60,000, even less if the central government's 30% subsidy is factored in. In fact, generating the energy to run two fans and two …
Inox Wind Infrastructure Services Ltd., one of the four winners of the first wind power auction held in October, is already looking to sell a stake in the 250 MW project it was awarded, people familiar with the development said. Several buyers have shown interest, with ReNew Power, which lost …
Josh Frydenberg says Jay Weatherill’s government wants a ‘much lower threshold’ to intervene in national electricity market. The South Australian government’s plan to direct energy market operators on gas supply and intervene with the national regulator during periods of high demand could be in contravention of the national electricity market. …
People’s movement essential to enhance rooftop solar installations in India Globally, rooftop installation has picked up or is picking up, as there is pressure on the availability of land. The government has set an ambitious target to develop 175 gigawatt (GW) renewable energy by 2022, comprising 100GW solar, 60GW wind, …
This report analyses international financial institutions' energy portfolios, identifies best practices, and develops an innovative methodological approach to show these organizations how they can adjust their approach to deliver on their mandates to increase economic productivity and meet environmental and social objectives while lowering energy use from fossil fuel sources …
The need for energy security and climate change mitigation have increased blending mandates worldwide; in Southern Africa, demand for biofuels could increase following South Africa’s planned blending mandates. However, land constraints limit local industry expansion, with demand likely to be met in land-abundant countries. This paper reviews the status of …
The umbrella body of wind turbine manufacturers on Thursday advised major players and prospective bidders to avoid bidding "aggressively" in the country's first auction of wind power projects, a move being seen as anti-competition and potentially encouraging cartelisation. The advisory from the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association, sent hours before …
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has outlined his vision for increasing India's renewable energy capacity five-fold from 30 GW to 175 GW, including a boost in solar power generation from 20 GW to 100 GW. All Members of Parliament have been asked to contribute through their MPLADS fund towards providing street …
Rising focus on the increasing awareness of existing solar systems, ambitious plans announced on the amount of solar power generation over the next few years, cancellation of subsidies over a considerable period and their reintroduction, and of course, the “solar scam” are some of the issues at the forefront of …
With the solar tariffs falling to Rs 3.3 per unit for a 25-year PPA for the 750 MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar project in Madhya Pradesh, rating agency ICRA said the cost competitiveness of solar against both alternate renewable as well as conventional energy sources has improved. "This is the …
दिल्ली सचिवालय सौर ऊर्जा से जगमग हो रहा है। वहीं इससे हो रही बिजली आपूर्ति की वजह से पिछले सालभर में सरकार को 66 लाख रुपए की बिजली बचत हुई है। पिछले साल दिल्ली सचिवालय में सौर ऊर्जा संयंत्र से बिजली की आपूर्ति शुरू की गई। बंद हो चुके इन्द्रप्रस्थ …
The price of electricity production using solar energy is increasingly outpacing other alternate sources. According to a report in the World Economic Forum, Solar and wind energy are finally at par or cheaper than fossil fuel capacity in more than 30 countries. The price of electricity production using solar energy …
A report published on Monday by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) said power plants to be added after 2023-24 could be completely renewable energy-based. Reiterating the government’s draft electricity plan finding that current installed and under-construction capacity would be able to meet demand till 2026, TERI also estimated that …
The government wants to raise solar power generation capacity from the current 8 GW to 100 GW by 2022. How will such an aggressive solar programme impact India’s electricity distribution companies? How will it affect the cost, availability and quality of electricity for consumers? Does the pace of solar adoption …
CUDDALORE: As part of the solar mission, NLCIL is planning to set up power plants with a total capacity of 500MW across the State at a cost of Rs 2,170 crore. The solar mission plans to establish solar power plants with an installed capacity of one lakh mega watt before …
There is considerable uncertainty over the effect of wind power on the operation of power systems, and the consequent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions displacement; this is used to project emissions reductions that inform energy policy. Currently, it is approximated as the average emissions of the whole system, despite an acknowledgement …
Current emission pledges to the Paris Agreement appear insufficient to hold the global average temperature increase to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Yet, details are missing on how to track progress towards the ‘Paris goal’, inform the five-yearly ‘global stocktake’, and increase the ambition of Nationally Determined Contributions …
