“Multi-dimensional renewable energy growth key to India’s long-term development and energy security”
India’s renewable energy expansion will extend beyond utility-scale projects to distributed renewable energy, green open access and emerging prosumer models enabled by digital platforms and the India Energy Stack as the nation advances toward its vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047.
The limits to growth: The Malaysian way of navigating the data centre boom
Malaysia’s rising power demand, driven by industrial growth and data centers, is exposing grid and capacity constraints, prompting policies like Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) to enable corporate renewable procurement while maintaining system cost recovery. A key factor is the System Access Charge (SAC), whose uncertain future trajectory affects long-term solar PPAs and investment decisions, making scenario-based modelling crucial for assessing project bankability.
Why tech-enabled, solar-compatible BESS will power the next energy boom
The next clean-energy boom will be driven not only by renewable generation but by intelligent storage. Tech-enabled, solar-compatible battery energy storage systems (BESS) will make clean energy predictable, resilient, and commercially viable at scale.

Silent bottleneck in India’s EV transition: Roadmap for localization, talent and better user experience
Several EV and charging components such as rectifiers, power modules, semiconductors, battery cells and PCBs are still largely imported. These create ecosystem-wide challenges including supply volatility, cost exposure, limited local integration, and scaling constraints. However, these gaps also represent one of India’s biggest opportunities.
