Transmission is the backbone of India’s Electrification 2.0
India’s renewable energy push is inherently decentralized. Solar parks in Rajasthan, wind farms in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, and hybrid projects across states are often located far from consumption centers. Bridging these geographical gaps requires robust, resilient, and future ready transmission network. Without it, even the most ambitious generation targets risk underutilization.
Electricity and fossil fuel subsidies tightening clean energy support: IISD
Clean energy subsidies for renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs) represent only 10% of India’s total energy subsidies. Though gradually expanding, these remain vulnerable to global oil price shocks due to structural fiscal dependence on oil and gas revenues.
UK solar generation hits record 15 GW as gas falls to historic low
Solar set a new generation record on Great Britain’s electricity grid during a week that also saw zero-carbon supply reach an all-time high. The new records come as the grid operator expands demand-side flexibility markets in anticipation of lower summer demand driven by strong solar irradiance.
SECI launches 500 MW peak supply renewable tender requiring dispatch via power exchanges
The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited proposals to set up interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects for assured peak supply of 1,500 MWh (500 MW × 3 hours) under a Contract for Difference (CfD) mechanism.
Adani Green’s operational RE capacity grows 35% YoY to 19.3 GW
The company reported revenue from power supply of INR 11,602 crore in FY 2026, marking a 22% year-on-year increase. EBITDA from power supply rose 23% YoY to INR 10,865 crore—almost twice the annual EBITDA for FY23.
Doing more with less: The new imperative for clean energy
The clean energy transition carries a real risk of replicating the extractive habits of the fossil fuel era, just with different inputs. Land grabs for solar. Rare earth mining for batteries. Water consumption for green hydrogen. None of these are arguments against the transition. They are arguments for doing it intelligently. Floating solar is one example of that intelligence made practical.
Record solar, wind surge drives 3.3% drop in India’s fossil generation in 2025
India’s renewable power generation from solar, wind, hydro and bioenergy rose by a record 98 TWh (+24%) in 2025, driven by strong growth in solar and wind, according to a report by Ember. The increase was twice the nation’s electricity demand growth of 49 TWh, which was abnormally low owing to milder temperatures and slower industrial activity. As a result, India’s fossil power generation fell by 3.3%.
Why semiconductors in the solar sector require mainstream attention
As the energy-generating capacity scales up, it becomes critical to integrate intelligent embedded control and connectivity solutions. With a concerted effort to utilize the advances in power electronics and connectivity solutions, it is possible to achieve self-reliant, environmentally friendly, and efficient energy systems that can power a nation.
Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Ltd reports INR 7,548 crore revenue in FY2026
Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Ltd (SWREL) has reported consolidated revenue from operations of INR 7,548 crore for FY2026, its highest since listing.
No evidence of PFAS leaching from solar panels, study finds
Researchers in the United States reviewed claims about PFAS in solar panels and found that while fluoropolymers may be used in limited components like backsheets or coatings, there is no confirmed evidence of PFAS leaching from commercially deployed modules. The study highlights widespread confusion between different PFAS types and emphasizes the need for clearer communication and transparency around fluoropolymer use in PV technologies.
