Enlight Metals starts production of solar mounting structures
Enlight Metals, a Pune-based metal aggregator, has started production of solar mounting structures through a contract manufacturing model.
Solar PV Capex could fall to $192/kW by 2050
A review of 60 renewable energy studies finds that by 2050, solar PV and wind could supply 80–100% of electricity, but overly conservative Capex assumptions and simplified PV modeling often underestimate deployment potential. While future PV costs depend on supply chains and geopolitical risks, historical experience suggests medium-term risks are manageable, and material constraints are being resolved.

Which power markets are most impacted by the Middle East conflict?
Wood Mackenzie’s latest analysis explores how 13 of the world’s leading power markets are impacted by the current fuel crisis, with those most reliant on fuel imports facing the greatest risk exposure. The consultancy says the average cost of generation is set to increase by $2.30/MWh across these 13 markets if a de-escalation of the conflict enables fuel price moderation in the latter half of 2026, increasing to an average of around $8.30/MWh if current elevated price levels persist through the year.
Cabling the backbone of India’s solar expansion
In an industry where even a small fraction of a percentage impacts efficiency, it is critical to ensure that all cables used in solar energy applications are UV-resistant, halogen-free, and flame-retardant. This creates a strategic opportunity for domestic manufacturers with vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, sophisticated quality control programs, and a commitment to sustainability.
