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.
Electricity plays a key role in the transition to a low-carbon economy partially replacing fossil fuels in transport and heating, helping countries to meet climate goals.
The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) intends to rapidly develop decentralised renewable energy sources, especially solar and reduce its current dependence on unsustainable and centralised fossil fuel energy.
Corporate PPAs as part of a Renewable Energy Strategy
Renewable Energy is cost competitive in an ever growing number of markets around the world as technology costs fall and infrastructure capital costs remain at historically low rates.
There is no ‘Off-The-Peg’ Solution
As part of the energy transition, managers of thermal power stations are facing significant cost
pressures that sometimes lead to serious impacts on plant safety. Many of the recently reported
incidents can be attributed to insufficient maintenance, for example. New strategies that are
customised to the case at hand and ensure an ideal cost-benefit ratio and maximum plant safety
are in high demand.

Power Projects.
Small Hydro Power (SHP) moves towards Tariff based Competitive Bidding Process
According to MNRE, the estimated potential of power generation from small hydro projects (up
to 25 MW) is about 20,000 MW. So, far nearly 4300 MW SHP capacity has been harnessed at
1075 sites all across the country. The government is keen to adapt solar bidding process in the
hydro sector to encourage faster growth.
Solar Energy- India’s Development Story
With India ratifying the Paris Climate Change Agreement, the Government has strongly committed
to ensure at least 40% of its electricity will be generated from non-fossil sources by 2030. With
this bold move, India is moving to the centre stage of global energy and will be a strong contender
in solar and wind markets.
