CleanMax signs round-the-clock renewable power supply agreement with textile major
CleanMax has signed a round-the-clock renewable power supply agreement with Sangam India Ltd for a 30 MWp solar and 20 MW wind hybrid renewable project, backed by a 2 MWh battery energy storage system.
Cyber threats for PV: What are ransomware attacks and how do they work
Ransomware attacks encrypt or lock critical PV system data and control platforms, preventing operators from accessing or managing their assets until a ransom is paid. These attacks can disrupt operations, reduce energy production, and create safety risks, making robust backups, segmentation, and incident response essential for resilience.
IPO-bound SAEL Industries assigned ‘A-/Stable/A2+’ Ratings by Crisil
CRISIL Ratings has assigned ‘A-/Stable’ long-term and ‘A2+’ short-term ratings to the bank facilities of SAEL Industries Ltd (SIL), a vertically integrated renewable energy company.
How automation and solar cleaning robots are reshaping the economics of large-scale solar in India
Solar cleaning related operating costs can be reduced by approximately 30 to 40 percent through robotic systems, particularly in high soiling environments. In addition to direct cost savings, consistent cleaning stabilises direct current input to inverters, reducing electrical stress and lowering fault incidence.
GAIL to set up 600 MW solar project with 550 MWh BESS in Uttar Pradesh
GAIL (India) Ltd has approved the development of a 600 MW greenfield solar project integrated with a 550 MWh co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) in Uttar Pradesh. The estimated project cost is INR 3,294.86 crore, to be financed through a mix of debt and equity.
Managing cyber risks in the era of decentralized energy
The move toward decentralized energy resources offers resilience and flexibility in power generation, but it also introduces new complexities that demand proactive security measures.
World’s largest PV-CSP plant under construction in China
The project combines 1.35 GW of photovoltaic capacity with 150 MW of molten-salt tower concentrated solar power. It is located in Xinjiang and requires an investment of $950 million.
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.
