Target 2017: Racing against time
India’s National Biofuel Policy aims at 20 per cent blending of biofuel by 2017. However, the country has been able to blend only 5 per cent till date, having missed the 2012 target of 10 per cent. As production remains
Integrating intermittence
Renewable energy has registered an impressive growth in India during the last decade. Today, it accounts for 12 per cent of the total installed capacity and ix per cent of the generation. This is set to grow in the next
Listen to the high winds…
India is already one of the world’s major wind power producers and has the potential to assume a bigger role in global energy scene in the future, but in the last one year the sector has slowed down a bit
The Significant Saver
According to the World Energy Council, the emerging constraints on energy supply have raised the importance given to energy efficiency policies. In developing countries, too, energy efficiency is an important issue and making the best use of existing supply capacities
Waiting to be unleashed
The CSP technology is complex when compared to solar PV and is currently more expensive and restricted to certain areas in India. However, the CSP segment holds much relevance for the coming years as far as addressing the issue of
Bracing for the clean challenge
For long, it basked in the undercover of its counterparts like solar and wind. While they surged, biomass as a sector was still trying to find a foothold in the clean energy industry.However, things seem to be looking up now,
Waning Momentum, Lingering Hope
Two years ago, makers of PV solar had no cause for worry. But now, they are in doldrums and going through one of their toughest phases ever. However, industry insiders feel that all is not lost yet and timely intervention
Bringing the Billion+ into the Energy Fold
Energy poverty is an immense opportunity to market in rural, remote areas and among dispersed communities, says Bipul Kiran Singh Energy access is vital for emerging economies to unleash the potential of their people, enhance productivity and improve their quality of
Solar Water Heaters : Lack of awareness the biggest challenge
The ambitious Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) has set a target of installing 2000MW off-grid solar applications by 2022 and solar water heating plays a major role in implementing clean energy measures in India. With cold regions in its
Open Access : Advantage or bottleneck?
The Electricity Act, 2003, provides for open access for private generators and bulk consumers. Open access is a mechanism that allows generators to sell power to the highest bidders while consumers can source their needs from the most economic seller.
Integrating renewables into mainstream
Making renewable energy (RE) a part of the energy mix alongside conventional energy is fraught with challenges. The fossil fuel-based system that attaches a high premium to the stability and predictability of the current flow is ill-prepared to integrate intermittence
Energy Efficiency: Where’s the money?
Energy efficiency holds huge promise for achieving energy security and bringing down energy consumption. However, to attain this goal, upfront cost is needed. This scares away individuals as well as organisations from undertaking energy efficiency projects. Banks and funding agencies
Taking wind out of growing sector?
Accelerated Depreciation, an important driver of growth for Indian wind energy sector, was modified in April this year, forcing strong reactions from the industry. Along with this, the ambiguity on generation based scheme (GBI) has created confusion among independent power
SHP costs divorced from reality
Small Hydro Power is witnessing a curious case of opposing perceptions. While the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) thinks there is no need to revise the price estimates set three years ago, the independent power producers feel the pinch of
Driving change
By providing incentives which would promote and steer the cause of renewable energy, the country has given an unparallel boost to its development. Ritu Gupta explores how China has got its perspective in place and is making all the right moves A
Out of the grid!
India needs to invest in smart grids and associated infrastructure for evacuating renewable energy adequately, writes Ritu Gupta Power is one of the key development indicators of any economy. Although India has a power generation capacity of more than 153,694 megawatts
Nearly there?
The very fact that it is one of the most preferred destination when it concerns investments in RE, speaks volumes for India’s clean energy sector. Yet, much needs to be done in the areas of innovation and R&D to make
Powering lifeline
In September 2004, Deepak S Parekh, chairperson, Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation, had very rightly said, “India’s power sector is a leaking bucket; the holes deliberately crafted and the leaks carefully collected as economic rents by various stakeholders that control the
The Rupees factor
In a country which reels under voluminous and bountiful amount of sunshine, tapping solar power should ideally be an effortless task. Ironically though, the economics have come in the way of the much hyped solar mission. Ritu Gupta unfolds the trend in India
Indispensable, yet ignored
With copious inflow, the waters that nourish the soil of the Indian subcontinent and have sustained life over the ages, could easily be a source of power too. While policies to this end have been incepted, the lack of implementation
Battling the bumpy route
Its counterparts have surged ahead and are the oft preferred option when it concerns alternate energy, but this sector is still struggling to find its foothold. While the trends are positive, it may take a while before biofuels become fully
Generation is the key
Current numbers perpetuate a secure future for the wind energy sector in India. Forging ahead, such statistics conjure the reality of meeting 20 per cent of the country’s power needs from wind by 2020. Yet, analysts suggest that a mere
