Transforming discarded batteries into valuable resources
Rather than viewing battery recycling as waste management, it should be reframed as an economic and industrial opportunity. Advanced recycling techniques can recover up to 95% of lithium, cobalt, and nickel, reducing India’s reliance on raw material imports.
NHPC tenders 1.2 GW of solar with 600 MW/2.4 GWh of storage
NHPC Ltd has launched a tender to select developers for setting up 1,200 MW of grid-connected solar PV power projects with 600 MW/2,400 MWh of energy storage systems (ESS). Additional PV capacity up to 1,200 MW with ESS is available under Greenshoe option. Bidding closes on April 24.
Renewable energy sector in 2025 and beyond
Governments worldwide are enacting policies that encourage investment in green technologies. As businesses recognise the long-term benefits of transitioning to renewable sources, private capital is increasingly flowing into innovative projects that promise sustainable returns.
Challenges and opportunities for lithium-ion battery recycling in India
A new study examines the current status of lithium-ion battery consumption, and challenges and opportunities in the Indian recycling landscape.
Bridging the digital divide: The reality of transformation in renewable energy
Digital adoption across the renewable energy value chain reveals a stark imbalance. Operations and maintenance (O&M) has embraced digitalization most enthusiastically, with SCADA systems and IoT-enabled devices revolutionizing efficiency through real-time monitoring and resource optimization. However, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) processes remain surprisingly under-digitized despite their critical importance.
Bondada Engineering targets 10 GW renewable energy, storage portfolio by 2030
The solar EPC solutions provider also plans to expand its footprint to international markets in renewable energy sector.
Telangana’s 250 MW/500 MWh battery storage tender yields L1 price of INR 2.40 lakh/MW/month
Bondada Engineering, Pace Digitek and TrueRE-Oriana Power have emerged winners in Telangana Power Generation Corp’s tender for 250 MW/500 MWh standalone battery energy storage with viability gap funding.
Jindal India Renewable Energy secures LoA for 300 MW solar with 150 MW/300 MWh battery storage from NHPC
BC Jindal Group’s Jindal India Renewable Energy (JIRE) has secured 300 MW of solar power capacity with 150 MW/300 MWh battery storage from NHPC at a tariff of INR 3.09/kWh.
L&T, John Cockerill collaborate on concentrated solar power and thermal energy storage
The partnership combines Larsen & Toubro’s end-to-end expertise in manufacturing, EPC and services with John Cockerill’s expertise in concentrated solar power and thermal energy storage technologies to deliver round-the-clock green power solutions to Indian businesses.
Indian researchers develop photo-assisted, self-chargeable energy storage device utilizing VO2/WO3 cathode
The researchers say the photo-assisted, self-chargeable aqueous Zn-ion energy storage device demonstrated a remarkable 170% increase in charge storage capacity at a constant current density of 0.02 mA/cm2 under consistent light exposure. Self-charging took 140 s to reach the potential of 0.9 V.
