Amid the troubles of the coal-dominated grid, variable renewable energy has a place in ensuring reliable supply
Tata Power wins 300 MW hybrid wind-solar project
TP Saurya Ltd, an arm of Tata Power, has secured a letter of award from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) to build 300 MW of hybrid wind-solar capacity.
India’s clean power target will double electricity supply economically if low-cost storage is deployed
Berkeley Lab report finds historic lows in clean energy prices position India to transform electric system
Gujarat tops in approved capacity under government’s solar park scheme
The State accounts for 38% (14,375 MW) of the overall PV capacity (37,771 MW) sanctioned under the government’s scheme for “Development of Solar Parks and Ultra-Mega Solar Power Projects.”
Round-the-clock tenders can help India meet demand for firm renewable power
A report has stated the renewable-plus-fossil fuel model is the best short term option to meet the assured supply conditions in the Solar Energy Corporation of India’s round-the-clock power tenders. Further out, as the cost of batteries decline, that technology is likely to become the most viable option for providing critical, non-intermittent power.

All-renewables power system with 76% solar share could halve electricity costs and drive net-zero by 2050
A power system modeling study, jointly carried out by Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT) and Wärtsilä, explores the feasibility of a net-zero-emissions power system in India by 2050. It shows that an all-renewables power system, when paired with flexible generation technologies (thermal balancing power plants and energy storage), can improve the affordability of electricity while ensuring the reliability of system operations.
Acme signs land pact for green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Oman
The Indian solar developer said the Oman facility would use 3 GWp of solar and 0.5 GWp of wind energy to produce 2,400 tons of green ammonia daily and approx. 0.9 million tons annually. Construction is planned in phases with an investment of $3.5 billion over the next three years.
