LeapFrog leads with $50 million, joined by co‑investors Emerging Market Climate Action Fund and Carlyle AlpInvest.

OXMIQ Labs will provide data center and system infrastructure advisory for AMI Labs’ upcoming gigawatt-scale AI computing facility powered by renewable energy in India.

Kärcher aims to build a closed-loop cleaning ecosystem for India’s solar industry, covering both PV manufacturing environments and the long-term maintenance of PV plants.

GlobalData says global renewable capacity will more than double to 8.4 TW by 2031, with PV reaching nearly 6 TW, a 13% compound annual growth rate from 2025 levels of 4.1 TW.

As India’s clean energy ambitions scale, investment will increasingly follow regions that can deliver outcomes, not just intent. Gujarat’s experience suggests that long-term renewable growth depends as much on institutional preparedness and grid integration as it does on natural resources.

Ultra high voltage transmission corridors, including 765kV networks, are increasingly becoming the backbone of this energy transition. These corridors enable bulk power transfer across long distances while maintaining system availability. By consolidating large volumes of electricity onto fewer transmission lines, they also reduce the need for extensive land acquisition and infrastructure duplication, which are often major constraints in transmission expansion.

Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer FKIE institute developed PowerRange, a virtual simulation platform that helps power grid operators safely test cybersecurity measures and respond to realistic cyberattacks. The platform supports both traditional and renewable grids, offering immersive training across IT, OT, and control systems while highlighting the importance of coordination, communication, and practical defense strategies.

The new prototype ranks among the most advanced sodium‑ion battery systems reported worldwide.

As India’s renewable ecosystem continues to mature, open access solar is set to become a cornerstone of corporate energy strategy—delivering both financial savings and sustainability gains. Policy clarity, improved transmission infrastructure, and incentives for storage integration will be critical to unlocking the next phase of growth

In its second monthly column for pv magazine, the Becquerel Institute explains that Europe has vast commercial and industrial rooftops suitable for solar, but decades-old structural limits block conventional PV panels, creating an 85 GW untapped potential. Lightweight PV modules, commercially available and up to 50% lighter, can unlock this constrained market, meeting regulatory, economic, and technical needs for solar deployment across the continent.
