A true pioneer, his unwavering dedication to sustainable energy solutions has propelled DhaSh to the forefront of the renewable energy sector and made DhaSh India’s largest integrated PV junction box manufacturer, employing over 1,000 dedicated professionals.
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.
Global Experience of Retail Competition in Power Supply and Implications for India
If retail competition is introduced to the power distribution sector, and the ‘supply’ and ‘wires’ business separated, what are the implications for India? This article, explores the international experience of market-based reforms, and contextualize them to India’s own reform experience. Given the risk the disruption poses to the supply obligation for universal electricity access India’s aggressive renewables transition, the authors question the suitability of ‘retail competition’.
Top 5 Incentives in India to foster Rooftop Solar
Solar energy is the technology trend of the decade. The electricity harnessed from the clean and green solar energy has reached its commercialization state and is all set to lighten up the world putting off the load on exhaustible fossil fuels. India has ample sunlight with about 300 clear sky and sunny days in a year.
Digital Transformation of Wind Turbine Manufacturing and Operations
It is costly to manufacture wind turbines, but you need to find ways to keep the total installed costs low as the price offered per kilowatt-hour is decreasing. To remain competitive and increase innovation, efficiency, and cost savings, you must transform by implementing smart digital planning tools into your manufacturing operations management.
Opportunity for India to Move Beyond Renewables and Support Carbon Reduction Projects
Focus within the private sector has turned increasingly towards the voluntary carbon markets over the last several years, with many large corporations setting ambitious carbon neutrality goals and expecting to rely heavily on carbon credits to offset emissions. Biden’s environmental agenda is ambitious, as demonstrated in him recommitting the United States to the Paris climate agreement immediately upon starting office.
MAN ETES Heats Up Energy Sector Coupling
New technology from MAN Energy Solutions allows the coupling of electricity, heating and cooling – a vital development needed for a climate-neutral energy future. The Electro-Thermal Energy Storage system offers an economical approach to break the energy sector from reliance on fossil fuels
Power Electricity Prices in India and the Way Forward
The competitive power prices discovered through the Exchange helped build about 20 GW of merchant capacity out of 370 GW of installed capacity in the country. This capacity is not committed under 25-year agreement and essentially sells on competitive prices through the short-term market. One Nation, One Grid, One Price could become a reality due to price signals from the market which led to considerable investments towards augmentation and reinforcement of the transmission system.
Human Resource Development in T&D Space a Key for Digital Makeover of Workforce
Availability of manpower with right skills and competencies is grossly inadequate. One of the key hindrances is lack of training infrastructure, which if not improved in a timely manner, will adversely impact decision-making capabilities and productive efficiencies, thus impeding T&D segment’s growth.
How Drones are Revolutionising the Power Sector
Marred with power theft, loss of power during transmission and damage to property, power sector in India is a tangled mess. Most of these concerns can be solved by the use of drones. However, India’s policy on the usage of drones is vague at best, making it difficult for the sector to adopt drones for a variety of use-cases.
How can the storage amplify your solar projects?
The intermittent nature of renewable energy and the limitations on its ability to fluctuate according to demand lead to the waste of a certain amount of capacity. Energy banking has already been adopted to tackle this setback. Although, this has led to numerous regulatory issues springing up such as banking directly impacts the financial viability of Distribution Companies, which have lately begun restricting banking facilities.
Thermal Power Plants Should Comply with New Emission Norms in Post COVID-19 World
Base load power demand in India being such that coal-fired thermal power plants still account for over 70% of India’s electricity. So, we can expect thermal power to continue to occupy the top slot for quite some time to come, and we need to make strategies to mitigate risk of carbon emissions, pollution, and climate change by adopting technologies that lower coal consumption on one end and reduce emissions on another.
