Utility Scale PV

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.

India’s ambition to achieve a 60% non-fossil fuel share in its energy mix by 2035 faces a critical financing challenge, with annual investment in renewables, storage, and transmission projected to rise sharply from $68 billion by 2032 to $145 billion by 2035—according to a new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

New modelling by Ember finds that solar paired with battery storage could supply 90% of India’s electricity demand at a levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of INR 5.06/kWh ($56/MWh).

Latest figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency find solar contributed the majority of a record 692 GW of renewables capacity added worldwide last year.
