Hyderabad-based Allox Minerals looks forward to scaling up lithium titanate (LTO) anode and lithium ferrophosphate (LFP) cathode material production for electric vehicle batteries as the demand arises. It produces these materials using the economical method developed by International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy & New Materials (ARCI). The company is also keen on forward integration up to battery assembly.

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.

The tendered capacity includes 500 MW interstate and 100 MW intrastate transmission connected solar projects. Bidding closes in the first week of October.

The state-run energy company has commissioned a 25 MW plant on the reservoir at its Simhadri thermal power station, in Andhra Pradesh. The installation features more than 100,000 solar modules.

The solar-powered EV charging station at Karna Lake Resort, Karnal, is one of the 20 such stations set up by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) along the Delhi-Chandigarh highway. It is equipped with AC001 (3×3.3kW), DC001 (15kW), and 72kW (50kW DC+22kW AC) chargers to charge all types of electric cars plying currently in the country.

The Indian renewable energy sector received an investment of US$6.6 billion between April and July 2021, beating the total for the previous financial year.

The grid-connected floating solar project shall come at Rengali reservoir in the Angul district of Odisha. Bidding closes on October 7.

Since 2014, Indian renewable energy developers have raised more than INR 78,200 crore through green bonds in global markets.

A new study provides a first-of-its-kind assessment of grid-scale energy storage deployment in India both in the near term and the long term. The researchers conducted scenarios-based capacity expansion modeling to assess when, where and how much energy storage can be cost-effectively deployed in India through 2050. In all scenarios, energy storage was found to play a significant role in India’s power system.

The solar plant, spread across 380 hectares in the Raghanesda Solar Park, is Engie’s second-largest PV project in India. It was completed within the schedule, despite the multiple challenges during the Covid pandemic.
