For decades, the “energy trilemma” – balancing energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability – has shaped how nations think about energy strategy. For much of the Global South, it has served as a practical compass. But today, that compass may no longer be sufficient.

Godrej Enterprises’ Energy Solutions Business has secured an order to develop a 98 MWp (70 MW AC) open-access solar power plant on a turnkey basis in Sirsa, Haryana. The project is its largest order by capacity and the largest open-access solar project in the state.

India’s ambition to achieve a 60% non-fossil fuel share in its energy mix by 2035 faces a critical financing challenge, with annual investment in renewables, storage, and transmission projected to rise sharply from $68 billion by 2032 to $145 billion by 2035—according to a new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

The 185 MW wind-solar hybrid project commissioned at Kalavad serves 17 corporate customers under group captive model to support demand of energy-intensive manufacturing.

New modelling by Ember finds that solar paired with battery storage could supply 90% of India’s electricity demand at a levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of INR 5.06/kWh ($56/MWh).

The company has appointed Sagar Saxena as chief executive officer of Arkannect. He will lead the platform’s growth, market expansion, and customer adoption, starting with the high-growth markets of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh.
