Government of Karnataka revises the existing Solar policy and publishes the Karnataka Solar Policy 2014-2021. The new solar policy which encourages households to generate solar power on their roof-tops and sell the surplus energy to the state grid. The new policy is expected to give a major boost to solar …
In 2013, approximately 6.5 million people were already employed in the renewable energy industry worldwide, a new study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reveals. ‘Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review 2014’ underlines the important role that renewables continue to play in employment creation and growth in the …
This report presents a comprehensive overview of the opportunities for value creation from the deployment of large-scale solar and wind energy technologies. It contributes to bridging the existing knowledge gap on the topic and gives policy makers and other stakeholders evidence on economic value creation from the accelerated deployment. The …
The 100MW Rajasthan Sun Technique CSP plant is not only the first linear Fresnel CSP plant in India and the largest in the world, it is also one of the cheapest large-scale CSP plants ever built. This case study finds that while Indian solar policy was essential to build this …
A sustainable, renewable-energy-based economy, where as much as 90 per cent of India’s total primary energy supply is based on renewable sources, could theoretically be achieved, according to a report released by WWF-India and TERI, at WWF-India, New Delhi. The study examines the possibility of a near 100% Renewable Energy …
As one of the eight missions under India’s National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC), the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) was launched in January 2010 with the aim of accelerating India’s march toward grid parity in solar power. The JNNSM envisages the achievement of grid parity through long-term …
The specific objective of the study is to assess the potential of India’s industries to set up a manufacturing base for production of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology components and equipment. The study assesses competitive positioning and potential of Indian companies in the manufacturing of key CSP components. It proposes …
This Policy will be known as Odisha Solar Policy, 2013. The Policy will come into operation with effect from the date of resolution and will supersede the Policy Guidelines for power generation from Non conventional Energy Sources -2005 with respect to the content related to solar power generation. The principal …
This publication analyzes the performance of two states in India— Karnataka and Tamil Nadu— in their efforts toward installing solar and wind energy. It attempts to distill the reasons for their success, albeit in two very different renewable energy programs. It covers the major initiatives taken by the country in …
This documents is prepared based on draft guide lines issued by MNRE for selection of 750 MW New grid connected Solar Power projects Under JNNSM Phase-II, Batch-I and may undergo changes.
Photovoltaics is becoming increasingly inexpensive. In contrast, the prices for electricity from conventional power plants are climbing. This is making the solar farm market segment progressively more lucrative for financially strong investors. Photovoltaics offers a profitable, longterm investment with comparatively low risk. “PV Power Plants” is the first industry guide …
