India Energy Week: 3 Ways to Improve Energy Efficiency, Reliability and Asset Integrity
For fast-growing markets like India, where utilisation rates are high and new capacity is complex to deliver, improving thermal efficiency and asset performance offers a credible way to reduce fuel use, lower emissions and strengthen operational resilience at the same time.
5 Things to Know Before Buying Your First EV Scooter
For first-time buyers, the shift from petrol to electric is not always straightforward. Unlike conventional two-wheelers, EV scooters come with a different set of considerations, battery technology, charging options, digital features, and long-term ownership costs.

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.
In 2017, the global wind industry continued with installations above 50 GW. After five years of essentially flat markets from 2009-2013 due to the global financial crisis, installations crossed the 50 GW mark in 2014 mark, and have stayed over 50 GW for the last four years.
Promotion of Biomass based Cogeneration
MNRE has announced a scheme to support promotion of biomass based cogeneration Insugar mills and other industries in the country upto March 2020.
Vision to Action : RE in India is walking the talk
It is safe to say the Indian renewable energy sector is the second most attractive renewable energy market in the world. It is expected twenty years from now by the year 2040, around 54 per cent of the total electricity will be generated by the renewable energy.
Flexibility in Generation & Scheduling of thermal power stations to reduce emissions
The concept of flexible utilization of coal as introduced by the Central Government in year 2016, allows the use of coal within its basket in optimal manner. This avoids unnecessary coal transportation and reducing the power generation cost. In a similar manner, it is has been decided that there should be some flexibility in Generation and Scheduling of thermal power stations so that Discoms are able to meet their RPO without facing any additional financial burden.
The Global Off-Grid Solar Market
In 2017, the global off-grid solar (OGS) sector is providing improved electricity access to estimated 73 million households, or over 360 million people, thus transforming lives that were previously relianton kerosene and solid fuels for most of their lighting needs.
“India has one of the fastest growing energy markets and we will continue to grow in the foreseeable future. Electricity will play a larger role in the future energy chain in India as we will move towards more self-reliance and lower carbonization”
Renewable Energy Investments in 2017
The Indian numbers show investment oscillating in the $6-14 billion range since 2010 – still not reaching the sort of levels that would be required for that country to meet Prime Minister NarendraModi’s ambitious goals for 2022.
Total Corporate Funding In The Solar Sector Comes To $2 Billion In Q1 2018. Battery Storage companies secured $714 million; Smart Grid companies brought in $422 million; and Energy Efficiency companies received $384 million.
As renewable capacity increases, economies of scale kick in and prices fall further, compounded by technological improvements, availability of cheaper financing, and ambitious targets by governments with clear energy policies. Records tumble, one after the other. Last year, for instance, saw record low solar costs broken not once, but four times and over a short period of time, raising questions as to whether it is realistic to expect this remarkable trend to continue.
Offshore Wind – A Decade Away for Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu and Gujarat have been identified as the two key coastal markets with the best offshore wind resources. A prerequisite for offshore wind is the need to build a whole new supply chain and infrastructure system.
