New capacity for generating electricity from solar, wind and other renewables increased to a record level worldwide in 2021 and will grow further this year as governments increasingly seek to take advantage of renewables’ energy security and climate benefits, according to the International Energy Agency. The world added a record 295 gigawatts of new renewable […]
Four of India’s states and union territories (UTs) have already surpassed their 2022 renewable energy (RE) capacity targets, as India continues its race to 175 Gigawatt (GW) renewable energy (RE) by December 2022, said a report by the global think-tank Ember. However, 27 Indian states have not yet reached halfway toward their respective targets and […]
Rajasthan has topped in installed capacity of solar energy in India with 7737.95MW as per the state-wise report released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The state has added a solar installed capacity of 2348.47MW in 2021 within eight months. According to the ministry, Rajasthan is at the top of the green […]
China’s installed capacity for generating wind and solar power increased sharply in the first two months of the year as the country stepped up efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, state news agency Xinhua said quoting official data. In the January-February period, the installed capacity of wind power jumped 17.5 percent year-on-year to reach 330 million […]
India’s renewable energy sector is expected to boom with a likely investment of over $ 15 billion in 2022 as the government focuses on electric vehicles, green hydrogen, manufacturing of solar equipment as well as achieving the ambitious 175 GW renewable capacity target. India, which has an installed renewable energy generation capacity of a little […]
India has added 8,530.92 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity, including large hydro units, during April-November of the current fiscal, which is higher than 8,058.10 MW added in the entire 2020-21, Parliament was informed. During April-November 2021, 8,530.92 MW of the renewable energy capacity, including large hydro, was added in the country, which is higher […]
India added 2,835 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity in the third quarter (Q3) of the calendar year (CY) 2021, a 14 percent increase compared to 2,488 MW installed in Q2 2021. The rise marks a massive 547 percent year-over-year (YoY) surge, according to Mercom India Research’s recently released report- Q3 2021 India Solar Market Update. […]
World over, renewable energy should account for nearly 95 percent of the increase in power capacity in the world through 2026, said a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), And solar power will provide more than half the boost. The milestone comes despite rising costs for materials used to make solar panels and wind […]
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has announced that the country’s total installed renewable energy capacity, including hydro, crossed 150 gigawatts (GW). The government has now set a target to reach 175 GW capacity of renewable energy by 2022, which will include 100 GW of solar, 60 GW of wind, 10 GW of […]
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been asked by a Parliamentary panel to set up a pilot tidal power project in the country, preferably at a cost-effective location like the Gulf of Kutch. There are three main types of ocean energy – wave, tidal and ocean-thermal. The estimated potential of tidal and […]
