Utility Scale PV

Enlight Metals, a Pune-based metal aggregator, has started production of solar mounting structures through a contract manufacturing model.

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.

NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NTPC REL) has issued a tender for the supply of solar PV modules for 1 GW of projects located in Lalitpur and Chitrakoot districts of Uttar Pradesh.

A new report by JMK Research says India installed around 44.6 GW of solar power capacity in FY 2026, an 87.2% increase year-on-year.

With this, the company has executed 500 MWp of renewable energy projects during FY 2025–26, taking its cumulative executed capacity to around 1.3 GWp.

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.

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.

Tata Power has announced the enterprise-wide adoption of the Databricks platform to accelerate its data and AI transformation, aiming to improve operational efficiency, decision-making, and digital innovation across all its business clusters.

Analysis from Wiki-Solar finds the world’s 33 largest utility-scale solar markets had a cumulative capacity of 1,008 GWac by the end of last year.

For decades, the “energy trilemma” – balancing energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability – has shaped how nations think about energy strategy. For much of the Global South, it has served as a practical compass. But today, that compass may no longer be sufficient.
