A report from the Global Solar Council says Africa’s solar deployment is set to accelerate in the coming years, but stresses that mobilizing finance and strong regulatory frameworks will be required to attract investors.

A CEEW study says that if India’s power demand were to continue to outpace current projections, the nation must target 600 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 to meet the demand most reliably and affordably.

The best businesses aren’t just adapting to the changing landscape; they’re leveraging sustainability to drive innovation, reduce costs, and build stronger relationships with their customers and stakeholders. Business leaders are turning sustainability into a growth driver rather than a cost center by adopting the right practices.

The move toward electrifying everything is a business opportunity, and many residential solar companies have been creative in adding solar to places other than home rooftops

India’s cumulative installed open access (offsite commercial and industrial) solar capacity reached 20.2 GW as of Dec. 31 2024 with a record annual addition of 6.9 GW in 2024

Hindustan Zinc has signed a new power delivery agreement with Serentica Renewables, augmenting the contracted round-the-clock renewable power up to 530 MW from 450 MW earlier.

CleanMax has entered into a long-term joint venture with Japanese gas major Osaka Gas to help corporate clients in India transition to a low-carbon economy.

While many data centres have started using solar power as part of their energy sources, they still depend on grid energy because of regulatory issues like discom regulations and banking policies. To enhance the use of green energy and lessen reliance on fossil-fuel-based grid electricity, combining battery energy storage systems (BESS) with hybrid solar and wind power systems is a practical solution.

Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions will set up a 16.50 MW captive wind-solar hybrid power project for offtake by chemical manufacturer Aarti Industries.

As India advances toward its Vision 2047 goals, solar module and cell manufacturing must be at the heart of the renewable energy strategy. While policy interventions like ALMM and production-linked incentives have laid a strong foundation, the next phase requires intensifying domestic raw material manufacturing and supply chains, scaling solar cell production with novel technologies, developing a skilled workforce to support advanced manufacturing, and elevating export competitiveness through quality certifications and trade agreements.
