Gujarat’s commitment to balancing industrial growth with environmental sustainability is a model for other states to follow. By harnessing solar energy, advancing green hydrogen production, and promoting energy storage technologies, the state is building a robust framework for a sustainable future.

Wood Mackenzie’s latest report forecasts that 493 GW (DC) of solar will be added throughout the world this year, compared to 495 GW in 2024. Solar module prices are expected to rise this year as manufacturers aim to recover profit losses from the past two years.

The 2025-26 Union Budget has the potential to be a defining moment in India’s journey toward a net-zero economy. By addressing key areas such as renewable energy, green hydrogen, sustainable mobility, and community-level projects, the government can create a robust framework for decarbonization.

Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency (OREDA) has listed Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) as one of its preferred solar partners. This collaboration targets to solarise 300,000 households in the next three years. 

Residential rooftop solar scheme PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PM-SGMBY) has the potential to catalyze an INR 1.2 trillion ecosystem, with PV module, inverter, mounting equipment, and electrical component manufacturers as the primary beneficiaries alongside project developers and EPC players, says a new report by SBICAPS.

Global clean energy supply investments will reach $670 billion this year, said a report from S&P Global Commodity Insights.

As the global solar energy industry grows, so does the need for accurate monitoring of performance and financial viability. The latest report by IEA PVPS Task 13, “Best Practice Guidelines for the Use of Economic and Technical KPIs,” provides a comprehensive framework to address this issue. This article explores the importance, methodologies, and applications of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), with a focus on their role in optimizing PV systems.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics are transforming energy operations by introducing capabilities that were once unimaginable. These technologies provide actionable insights, automate processes, and enable real-time decision-making, making energy systems smarter and more resilient.

The nation has reached a cumulative installed renewable energy capacity of 209.44 GW as of Dec. 31, 2024, with major contributions from solar (97.86 GW) and wind resources (48.16 GW).

India added about 24.5 GW of new solar capacity in the twelve months ending Dec. 2024, the highest recorded capacity in any previous year.
