Wind energy accounts for nearly 10% of India\’s total installed power generation capacity. Industries are currently spending a lot of money on electricity every month and can now reduce between 25% to 45% (percentage varies depending on state and consumption) on monthly electricity expenditure by shifting to wind power. WHAT IS THE AREA REQUIRED FOR …
Concentrated solar power (CSP), is a solar-powered system in which high-temperature fluids are used with steam turbines to produce electricity. Early small-scale applications of CSP mainly involved its use for the pumping of water, however, since the mid-1980s several large-scale power systems with a power output of up to 80 MW have been built. CSP …
The India Infrastructure magazine, Powerline, has published an article on the role of Microgrids for increased energy production. The report touches on the increasing role of microgrids in the industry, the enhancing of energy access, smart integration, and the global growth of microgrids in the world. Some of the key points from this article have …
The Council of Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) estimates that water requirements from both surface water sources and groundwater sources for the operation and maintenance of solar plants in India, lie between 3-5 liters per panel and in some cases 7-8 liters per panel, where panels are usually cleaned every week. According to a recent …

Solar energy is an important source of renewable energy that is currently being harnessed using a wide range of ever-evolving technologies. One such emerging technology is the use of solar energy to power Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lights. Since solar power is a clean, inexhaustible, and affordable means of electricity, our reliance on it …
Statistics show that the scarcity of water affects over 40% of the world’s population and this value is only going to rise as the temperature rises. Currently, more than 1.7 billion people live in river basins, where water consumption exceeds water recharge. For this consumption to be sustainable, we have to seriously think about the …

The State of Global Air is a report that brings to light the latest information on air quality and health for countries around the globe. It is produced annually by the Health Effects Institute and Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Global Burden of Disease project. The main idea of the report is to give …
Renewable energy sources are energy sources that can be constantly replenished through various natural processes. Unlike non-renewable fossil fuels, they form cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternatives. In the past, renewables were not so widely used as the technology was quite basic and prices to set them up were quite high. However, this has changed …
The Global EV Outlook is a yearly publication that discusses current developments in electric vehicle mobility around the world and is developed with the help of members from the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI). This edition of the report features the analysis of the performance of electric cars and competing powertrain options in terms of GHG …
Solar power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in India and the world. Much of this growth in solar is driven by two factors, a fall in module prices making solar cheaper than almost every other generation method, and an increase in financing options available for consumers looking to install solar. However, …
