The concept of renewable energy has emerged as a pivotal solution to the pressing global energy challenges of our time. With the world facing escalating concerns over depleting fossil fuel reserves, environmental degradation, and climate change, the need for sustainable and clean energy sources has become increasingly paramount. Renewable energy, derived from sources such as […]

The rapid expansion of solar energy across utility-scale plants, industrial rooftops, and captive power systems has reshaped the dynamics of power generation and grid integration. At the heart of every efficient solar power plant lies a critical link between power generation and transmission – the Inverter Duty Transformer (IDT). Designed to handle the unique electrical […]

Although several global observers have recently stated in their reports that the growth of renewable energy worldwide seems to have slowed down or is slowing down in 2026, this view is not entirely applicable to India; in fact, due to several reasons, our focus has been compelled to shift – and give special importance to […]

In the last twenty years, India has reached amazing success in the power system. Generation power plants have enhanced long life – and electricity is distributed to nearly all houses – and renewable energy has played the biggest role in the generation. In spite of these attainments, the quality and reliability of power supply become […]

Electricity T&D systems were traditionally designed for predictable, centrally-generated and unidirectional power flows. Today, in India, the grid needs to accommodate growing number of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) with bidirectional power flows in a volatile electricity market. Ambitious RE targets, inter-state power transfers and higher end-use electrification have put added pressure on the existing grid […]

As the nation races toward its ambitious target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, the renewable energy revolution has moved from the margins to the mainstream, fundamentally reshaping commercial strategies, regulatory frameworks, and operational paradigms across the entire value chain. For energy regulators, power producers, distribution companies, and industry professionals, understanding this […]

India’s power system is undergoing a structural transition. With ambitious targets for non‑fossil capacity and rapidly falling costs of solar and wind, the generation mix is shifting from predictable, dispatchable sources to variable, weather‑dependent resources. Managing this transition requires technologies that can ensure reliability, grid stability and economic efficiency. Traditionally, intermittency was addressed using fossil‑fuel‑based […]

Valmet will supply automation systems for Daklo 1-3 Power Company Limited’s Daklo 1 and Daklo 3 hydropower plants currently being built in Kon Plong Ward, Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam. The order was placed by Industries Equipment and Solution Company Ltd (IESC), a local Valmet partner, which has signed a contract with the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, […]

Ending 2025 on a high note, UNRWA and the Government of Japan marked the successful completion of a solar power installation project at the Siblin Training Centre (STC) in southern Lebanon, bringing clean electricity to education, health, and water facilities to thousands of Palestine Refugee families across the country. Speaking at the launch of the […]

Xcel Energy and GE Vernova have signed a landmark Strategic Alliance Agreement (SAA) aimed at strengthening their long-standing collaboration and advancing a shared vision for a reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future. The agreement has been designed to support Xcel Energy’s generation and grid projects well into the 2030s, leveraging the breadth of GE Vernova’s […]

Uniper and NKT have signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for electricity from Uniper’s newly developed photovoltaic (PV) asset in Wilhelmshaven. The agreement represents a meaningful step for both companies as they strengthen their sustainability commitments and increase the use of regionally sourced renewable energy. The solar park Voslapper Groden, located on the ash […]

The World Bank Group’s Boards of Executive Directors have approved a financing package to increase the Kingdom of Bhutan’s hydropower generation, facilitate regional clean energy trade, expand economic opportunities, and create jobs. The 1,125 MW Dorjilung Hydroelectric Power Project, located on the Kurichhu River in eastern Bhutan, will generate more than 4,500 GWh of clean […]

Westinghouse Electric Company, Nordion (Canada) Inc., a Sotera Health company, and PSEG Nuclear LLC have taken up a joint initiative to establish the first commercial-scale production of Cobalt-60 in U.S. Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Cobalt-60 is a critical isotope used to sterilize more than 16 billion single-use medical devices each year in the United States, […]

Holcim, a global leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions, has signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Peak Energy, to deploy in the Philippines one of the largest behind-the-meter solar installations. The 25 MegaWatt-peak (MWp) project will power Holcim’s cement manufacturing plants in Bacnotan, La Union (13 MWp), and Norzagaray, Bulacan (12 MWp), […]
