Re-NEW-ables Rising: Charging into a New Year
As we bid farewell to 2024, the anticipation for 2025 grows. Next year promises to build upon the strong foundation laid by the transformative investments, budgetary allocations, and policy decisions of 2024. With an unwavering focus on scaling renewable capacity, attracting international investments, and integrating cutting-edge technologies, 2025 is poised to bring India's green aspirations closer to reality. Major renewable energy players shared their plans and growth with Energetica India.
Solar-Powered Cars: Futuristic Dream or Unrealistic Ambition?
The only logical way to go forward to clean transportation is electric vehicles. Adopting EVs and powering them through energy produced by solar panels that is transmitted through the utility grid or a structure nearby.
EWEA position on priority dispatch of wind power
The discussion on priority dispatch of Renewable Energy Sources [RES] seems to focus exclusively on assumed negative effects of priority dispatch for RES, but it ignores the rationale for which this provision has been introduced in the first place in EU legislation
Renewable Energy and Floating Solar Power Plants
One of the biggest challenges before India today is the power crisis. According to World Bankdata, more than 300 million Indians have no access to regular electricity. In 2012-13, India’spower sector could supply just 124,000 megawatts for a country of more than 1.2 billion people. By contrast, Britain generated a maximum of 55,000 megawatts for a country of just 60 million. Even for those who have access to electricity in India, the supply is not regular. Blackouts and load-shedding interrupt
India poised to adopt energy storage revolution with 2 new initiatives for energy storage deployment
Two recent major announcements by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) have opened doors for energy storage deployment for ancillary services and renewable integration in India. Although this is just a beginning, I am excited about the potential of these projects to start a new direction for Indian Electricity Grid

Indian Hospitality Industry takes to Solar: Case Studies
There is a rise in the number of conscious travellers accompanied with the fact that the hospitality industry has become greener in recent years. They are realising that they need to invest in more than just profit. Even if going green is another way to attract a consumer, it still is a positive step towards a more responsible way of doing business
Best Practices before and during Project Execution – Grid connected solar PV Project
A solar PV project engineering is well diversified into different segments viz. civil, electrical, mechanical, electronics, data acquisition, weather monitoring etc. The paper tries to incorporate all the desired details, minute yet very important to be taken care of while constructing a solar PV project
SolarMobil - a team of 27 enthusiastic engineers from Manipal University - have built a twoseater solar-powered car that can cruise up to 120Km/h. The team will represent India at the 2014 South African Solar Challenge (SASOL14). Have you ever wondered about four-wheelers that could run on solar energy? If you haven’t, then here is an exciting piece of news for you
Case Studies on Small Scale Biomass Gasifier based Decentralized Energy Generation Systems
From the case studies described below, an important learning is that even at small capacities, by using gas engines, a sustained economical operation is possible, as the major operational cost are related to biomass cost. In this case, it is important to address the sustained availability of biomass locally, thus reducing the dependence on fossil fuel, an important concept for distributed power generation packages for the rural sector
Solar cooking is a form of outdoor cooking and is often used in situations where minimal fuel consumption is important, or the danger of accidental fires is high, and the health and environmental consequences of alternatives are severe
