Acme to invest $6.3 billion in green hydrogen, ammonia project in Karnataka
The renewables developer will build a 1.2 mtpa green hydrogen and green ammonia project with integrated RE generation capacity in the state.
Uninterrupted PV generation without storage
An Israeli scientist has proposed a way to achieve uninterrupted PV power on the moon without using energy storage. The proposal involves the installation of PV panels around a 360-degree latitudinal ring close to one of the moon’s poles. There would be no inter-array shading, and static vertical PV arrays and arrays mounted on single-axis vertical trackers could be viable mounting structures.
SECI launches 1.2 GW hybrid wind-solar-storage tender
Developers have until Dec. 12 to bid to set up a cumulative 1.2 GW of wind-solar-storage hybrid capacity on a build-own-operate basis, anywhere in India.
ABC Cleantech to invest $6 billion in setting up green hydrogen, ammonia facility in Karnataka
ABC Cleantech, a part of Axis Energy Group, will invest around $6 billion (INR 50,000 crore) to build a green hydrogen and ammonia plant, integrated with 5 GW of renewable energy capacity, in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Sunsure Energy completes 74 MWp open-access solar plant in Tamil Nadu
Haryana-based Sunsure Energy installed the 74 MWp open-access solar plant on a turnkey basis. The project is its largest single-site installation yet, and takes its cumulative installed PV capacity to 250 MWp across India.
GAIL, ADNOC to explore opportunities in renewables
Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL), a state-owned natural gas company, has signed a deal with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. to explore collaboration opportunities in renewables and new energy projects.
Budget-friendly robotic cleaning solution for solar panels
India-based Solavio has developed Eco Bot portable and shareable robotic cleaning solution that is compatible with both ground-mount and rooftop PV installations.
Cooling down solar modules by increasing space between panel rows
A US research team claims to have demonstrated that increasing the spacing of solar panels between rows improves PV system efficiency and economics by allowing airflow to cool down the modules. The method could improve a project’s LCOE by as much as 2.15% in certain climates.
Tata Power’s Q2 profit soars 85%
The integrated power company has recorded a profit of INR 935 crore ($113.4 million) in the July-August-September period of the fiscal year 2022-23. This is 85% up from INR 506 crore in the same period a year earlier.
New solar capacity 10 times cheaper than gas, says Rystad
Operating gas-fired power plants would be 10 times more expensive in the long-term than building new solar capacity in Europe, according to research from intelligence company Rystad. Their study uses the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for gas and coal-fired power generation at different price levels and compares it to the LCOE of solar PV and wind.
