Shakti Pumps (India) Ltd has received a Letter of Empanelment from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd for the deployment of 6,580 off-grid solar PV water pumping systems under the Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump Yojana in the state of Maharashtra. The systems will include pumps of 3 HP, 5 HP, and 7.5 HP capacities.

Advait Energy Transitions has incorporated three wholly owned subsidiaries focused on battery storage, carbon advisory, and power generation. The newly formed entities—Advait Battery Ecosystems, Advait Carbon Advisory & Renewables Assets, and Advait Unified Renewable Assets—expand the company’s presence across the clean energy value chain, from BESS manufacturing to carbon advisory and asset ownership.

Korea Rural Community Corp. (KRC) says it plans to increase floating solar capacity on agricultural reservoirs to 3 GW by 2030, from 105 MW currently in operation.

India’s renewable energy push is inherently decentralized. Solar parks in Rajasthan, wind farms in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, and hybrid projects across states are often located far from consumption centers. Bridging these geographical gaps requires robust, resilient, and future ready transmission network. Without it, even the most ambitious generation targets risk underutilization.

AmpereHour Energy has partnered with Organo Eco Habitats to deploy a centralised battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Organo Antharam residential community in Hyderabad, marking a significant step in scaling integrated solar PV and storage at the community level. 

Clean energy subsidies for renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs) represent only 10% of India’s total energy subsidies. Though gradually expanding, these remain vulnerable to global oil price shocks due to structural fiscal dependence on oil and gas revenues. 

Jakson Infra has secured a contract from the Ministry of Energy & Water, Angola, for the engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning of power distribution network systems, aimed at improving electricity reliability and access across the Angolan capital.

Solar set a new generation record on Great Britain’s electricity grid during a week that also saw zero-carbon supply reach an all-time high. The new records come as the grid operator expands demand-side flexibility markets in anticipation of lower summer demand driven by strong solar irradiance.

The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited proposals to set up interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects for assured peak supply of 1,500 MWh (500 MW × 3 hours) under a Contract for Difference (CfD) mechanism.

A new report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) highlights a widening gap between the headline climate commitments made by India’s major steel companies and their actual progress in building the operational, technological, and financial infrastructure required to meet their decarbonisation ambitions. This gap risks locking in emissions-intensive technologies for decades, slowing progress towards net zero and undermining the sector’s long-term competitiveness.
