As many countries are practising social distancing to curb the spread of the coronavirus, more and more research is being released and studied on how we can build a healthier decarbonized world after the current crisis dies down. The big question now is whether COVID-19 will cause a pause or shift in energy generation trajectories. …
The demand for coal has tanked over the past decade amid competition from cheap natural gas and renewable energy sources. The global pandemic has made this collapse worse as the demand for electricity dropped worldwide due to lockdowns imposed to contain the spread of the virus. Coal is continuously losing market share during the pandemic …

The widespread disruption caused by this pandemic has highlighted one very important dependency of our modern society — electricity. As millions of people across the globe are staying home to keep safe, many activities that earlier required human interaction are now being done remotely. Reliable electricity supply is critical to power the digital devices needed …
Karnataka has the highest installed capacity of renewable energy across all states in the country as of December 2019. This is mainly due to its solar power generation capacity of 7,274.93 MW, which makes up about 48% of the state’s total renewable energy capacity. The wind and solar power generation during December 2019 were higher …
Most South Asian countries have been exploring sustainable alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass, mostly to sustain their rapid economic growth and rising energy demand. The geographical locations of these countries make them extremely vulnerable to global climate change, however, this fact also gives them access to a variety of renewable …
Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the use of wind farms constructed in bodies of water, usually the ocean on the continental shelf (an area of seabed where the sea is comparatively shallow), to harvest wind energy to generate electricity. Offshore wind has emerged as one of the most rapidly developing sources of …
The Indian government has set an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. This includes 40 GW of rooftop solar, 60 GW of grid-scale solar, and 60 GW of wind. Currently, India is the third-largest solar market in the world and has the fourth-largest installed wind power capacity in the world. …
