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.
Manjunath N. Reddy, the dynamic Founder and Managing Director of DhaSh PV Technologies Limited, is a true visionary in India’s solar PV industry. 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.
Guidelines for 1000 MW ISTS connected Wind Power Projects.
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued Guidelines for transparent bidding process for implementation of Scheme for setting up of 1000 MW Wind Power Project connected to inter-state transmission system (ISTS).
Government agencies, state-owned utilities, co-operatives, community groups, NGOs and in some cases small local private firms have been the main driving forces behind the growth of mini grids so far. However, limited economic viability and scalability of the traditional business models remains a key challenge for further growth in the sector.
Barriers for Institutional Investors in India's Renewable Energy Industry.
Investment in renewable energy from institutional investors remains seriously constrained by certain barriers.
Impact of Diversified Module Capacity on the Costof Solar PV Projects
Increased structure cost is inversely proportionate to the generation of the solar power plant on increasing the module capacity (Wp). However, the cost of the increased structure cost is not that noteworthy when compared it with the revenue rise affecting the returns on the investment.
Government agencies, state-owned utilities, co-operatives, community groups, NGOs and in some cases small local private firms have been the main driving forces behind the growth of mini grids so far. However, limited economic viability and scalability of the traditional business models remains a key challenge for further growth in the sector.
PV module prices decreased by around 80% between 2009 and 2015. Moreover, owing to economies of scale and reductions in soft costs, the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) from solar PV fell 58% between 2010 and 2015.

Renewable Energy Investments in Asia
Emerging Asia is expected to account for an increasingly large share of future globalenergy demand. The large increase in fossil fuel use indicated in these projectionsconfirms the region’s hunger for energy and illustrates the need for policies thatpromote alternative energies. Most of the region has set targets for renewable energytechnologies and implemented measures to encourage their development, thoughchallenges remain in making these policies effective and efficient.
Innovations in 648MW Solar Project
Sgurr Energy India was selected to deliver engineering services for Adani Power’s 648MW solar project. The project was not only completed within the stimulated time but also had quite a few innovative ideas that helped in successful implementation. Energetica India finds out more through their interaction with Sgurr Energy India
Global Energy Storage Overview
Many experts view electricity storage as a potential game changer for managing and using electricity generated by VRE. Storage will be particularly important for distributed systems, for several reasons. At the same time, there are several barriers to be overcome before battery storage can be fully integrated as a mainstream option in the power sector. However, there are promising signs of progress.
