Indian steelmakers have begun adopting green hydrogen, but this option should become an even greater priority for the country as metallurgical coal supply risks intensify.

India’s energy transition is not about a single breakthrough but about steady steps across multiple fronts. Ethanol has shown how supportive policy and the right technologies can deliver both farmer security and fuel stability. BioCNG can turn waste into a resource, helping both cities and villages. Hydrogen, though still in its early stages, is slowly laying the foundations of a long-term clean energy system.

Oriana Power is expanding its focus beyond battery energy storage to compact pumped-storage solutions—a new generation of systems that the company believes could redefine the future of commercial and industrial (C&I) energy management.

Renewables research firm Pexapark says Europe’s independent power producers (IPPs) are evolving into customer-centric platforms with a focus on adding battery energy storage systems (BESS) to their portfolios and more structuring and pricing capabilities to prepare for the next wave of deals.

The procurement exercise had initially attracted 1,387 project proposals with a combined capacity of 17,537 MW, according the Italian energy agency GSE.

Havells India has partnered with Kundan Green Energy to develop a 15 MW AC solar project in Rajasthan for captive power consumption. The project will be implemented through Kundan Solar (Pali), a special purpose vehicle (SPV) created to develop, install, operate, and maintain solar power plants.

KPI Green Energy has secured EPC contract for a 142 MW DC (110 MW AC) floating solar project from Gujarat State Electricity Corp. Ltd (GSECL).

India witnessed above-average precipitation and prolonged cloud cover through July and August, limiting the potential of PV generation across many states. Several regions, including Punjab, Haryana, and the Himalayan foothills, were hit hardest by flooding and thunderstorms. The increase in atmospheric moisture and aerosol scattering led to reduced Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) and reduced energy output.

Standard Chartered and British International Investment’s (BII) financing will enable Apraava to install around two million smart meters in homes and businesses. The smart meters will help make India’s grid more efficient, reliable, and sustainable by enabling better integration of renewable energy sources and reducing aggregate technical and commercial losses.

The Southern Johor Renewable Energy Corridor (SJREC) forms part of a $6 billion project developing a 2,000 kilometer-squared hybrid solar and battery energy storage system zone set to connect South East Asia.
