The gigawatt-scale solar, wind and battery project developed by O-Green Energy expected to provide round-the-clock power. It is part of a push from Nama Power and Water Procurement to secure 7 GW solar, 3 GW battery storage capacity by 2030.

Researchers in India developed a predictive framework combining degradation experiments, weather data, and environmental stress models to assess how rain affects anti-soiling solar coatings. They found that coating lifetime strongly depends on local climate, installation tilt, and rainwater pH.

British International Investment (BII) has launched a $300 million platform to accelerate renewable power projects in India, with $150 million each from BII and Danish fund manager Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP).

The country’s contribution to the voluntary carbon market has been significant, with over 375 million credits issued and a comparable share retired globally.

Fraunhofer ISE, in collaboration with Irishi energy company ESB, developed a methodology showing that Ireland is a competitive location for renewable power-to-X and green hydrogen production with costs comparable to Morocco, South Africa, and Brazil, supported by strong wind resources, policy backing, and infrastructure potential.

India allocated a total of 10.4 GW of standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in 2025, with 2-hour, 2-cycle systems accounting for the majority of this allocation. Tariffs fell sharply during the year, with the lowest discovered tariff reaching INR 1.48 lakh/MW/month for 2-hour systems.

Advait Energy Transitions Ltd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Norway-based TECO Fuel Cell Technology AS to establish a framework for hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing in India. The agreement was signed at the 3rd India–Nordic Summit in Oslo.

Researchers from University of New South Wales and Jolywood found that corrosion-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells is primarily governed by glass frit chemistry in low-aluminum silver metallization. Their findings show that barium-zinc-modified frits significantly improve resistance to acetic-acid and damp-heat stress, enabling more stable silver-silicon interfaces and reduced module-level power loss.

Toyo Co. says a new anti-circumvention petition targeting its Ethiopian solar cell facility is “riddled with misinformation.” The Japanese manufacturer tells pv magazine that the site reached 4 GW of capacity last year and that it is planning a U.S. onshore cell plant.

Bondada Engineering Ltd has secured orders worth INR 469.52 crore from the Adani Group for the execution of the balance of system (BOS) package for a 250 MW solar project at Khavda, Kutch, Gujarat.
