Growth and development in renewable energy power generation call for acquiring more suitable land to install RE generating equipment/machinery, and th
The groundbreaking PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana initiative which will expand India’s RTS capacity even further can help India achieve its net-zer
If China wins the race in developing Space Based Solar Power as a feasible source of energy, which would meet the world's growing energy demand, it will result in huge economic and strategic gains for China.
Though the diversification of the solar PV supply chain could end dependency on China, it will increase the cost of decarbonisation of the energy sect
China's export of cheap clean energy equipment is a public good as relatively poor countries can now afford large clean energy projects
If expected cost declines in solar PV plus battery storage do not materialise, the price for carbon will make fossil-fuel-derived energy more expensiv
India's desire to obtain self-sufficiency in solar energy needs to be backed with the necessary technology required to achieve it
In India, a prime factor for the slowdown in the solar photovoltaics (PV) sector in 2018 was the implementation of the safeguard duty on imported sola
Observer Research Foundation, in collaboration with BRIDGE TO INDIA and Solar Energy Society of India, organized a round-table discussion on "Financing the Solar Projects under JNNSM" on 9th Aug, 2011.
The introduction of the off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants can be integrated with the conventional electricity system for the electrificati
This brief reviews the crucial role of India in global climate politics and highlights the country’s partnerships on sustainable energy in Africa through the India-led International Solar Alliance (ISA). The brief finds that, beyond contributing to climate change mitigation, India—through ISA, in particular—is helping ensure energy security and sustainable livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa by providing poor communities access to natural, ec
India is leading the charge when it comes to solar projects and initiatives, but it could benefit from building up stronger approaches to monitoring a
USA solar industry got a setback with almost three solar companies, including Solyandra Inc., declaring suspension of their operations and plans. Criticising China's role in the failure of the U.S solar companies may come as a natural defence mechanism, but then China can't be completely held responsible.
In the years since Paris, the world has changed — Prime Minister Modi has seized on the momentum.
The focus on rooftop solar in the Union Budget 2024 has provided a strong impetus for the residential segment. A targeted scheme is also required to e
For alternative energy solutions to succeed, emphasis should be on availability, cost-effectiveness, and convenience
With the Japanese crisis triggering worldwide re-thinking on the feasibility of pursuing nuclear energy to meet growing global energy demands, it is time that India, US and others looked at the option of Space Based Solar Power (SBSP).
The US National Security Strategy of March 2006 is an upgraded version of the 2002 version, which had come about after the September 11, 2001, attacks. The present one seems to be a slight rethink of its predecessor, but the essentials are the same. Introducing the new doctrine, President Bush had declared rather grimly, ¿America is at war.¿
While Chinese investment and demand in renewables have been critical in the fight against climate change — single-handedly dropping world prices in the solar panel industry by nearly 80 per cent between 2008 and 2013 — there are broader implications of China’s leadership in renewable energy markets.
While the Interim Budget is a temporary plan, the government’s priority and the country’s imperatives remain inclined towards inclusive developmen
India’s government recently announced a safeguard duty (SGD) on solar cells and modules from China (and Malaysia) starting with 25% in the first year. This decision does not only jeopardise the own renewable energy targets but also harm the own economy. Why not let pay China for India's energy transition?
As the world speeds towards its goal of a “green transition”, India must look into what this entails for people, communities, and the social struc
India’s maiden solar mission undertook a journey of around 1.5 million km from Earth, taking 127 days to reach its final destination.
For both India and the EU, strong bilateral ties rooted in close cooperation on green transition, digital transformation, and maintenance of the geopo
By floating a tender for setting up the country’s first ground-mounted solar plant, Bhutan has made a maiden attempt at deploying renewables other t
If the energy needs of the future population are to be met, India must reduce its dependence on non-renewable resources and become self-reliant in the
While the Indian coal sector is undergoing a crisis, it is also worth analysing the issues surrounding solar and other renewable energy sources.
This paper trains the spotlight on India’s relations with Africa by studying the country’s relations with two east African countries – Tanzania and Kenya, and two south African countries – Mozambique and South Africa. The paper opens with a description of the trade, investment, and development cooperation links between India and these countries. An assessment follows of three key areas in these bilateral relationships: energy, food securi
Though the Economic Survey shifted its approach, it doesn’t provide a roadmap to guide the energy sector.
Distributed production and consumption of RE by households and industries, primarily using solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, is projected as a potential driver of RE generation and consumption but challenges remain
