This information has been given by the Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy Shri R. K. Singh, in a written reply to a question, in Lok Sabha.
Author: PPD Team Date: 15/10/2024 India has crossed a major milestone in its renewable energy journey, with the nation’s total renewable energy capacity reaching 201.45 GW as of October 10, 2024, according to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA). When including the 8,180 MW of nuclear power, non-fossil fuel-based energy now accounts for nearly half of India’s total installed electricity generation capacity, which stands at 452.69 GW. Solar power leads India’s renewable energy contributions, generating 90.76…
Author: PPD Team Date: 13/03/2025 With renewable energy zones (REZs) being identified across India, efforts to develop the necessary transmission infrastructure are gaining momentum. At the latest National Commission of Transmission (NCT) meeting, two major projects, Morena SEZ in Madhya Pradesh and Solapur SEZ in Maharashtra, were discussed. These projects are expected to inject thousands of megawatts of clean energy into the national grid. Here’s a closer look at these projects. Morena SEZ: A…
Author: PPD Team Date: 24/06/2025 In recent years, some overseas utilities resisted accepting test certificates issued by the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), India’s premier agency for electrical equipment testing. While many international utilities accept reports from CPRI, a few raised concerns over global recognition and traceability. To understand the issue, it is essential to examine how accreditation works and how CPRI fits into the global compliance system. The role of accreditation in global…
Author: PPD Team Date: 09/03/2025 At the core of every hydropower plant is the turbine, the mechanical heart of the system. Hydropower works by converting the gravitational potential energy of stored water into kinetic energy as it flows downward. This movement drives a turbine, which in turn powers a generator to produce electricity. This article explores the different types of turbines used in hydropower plants and how they impact efficiency, cost, and performance. Hydropower…
Author: PPD Team Date: 13/12/2024 The global shipping industry, which is integral to international trade, is facing growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. While ocean shipping is known for being one of the most energy-efficient forms of cargo transport, it is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, contributing around 3% of annual greenhouse gas emissions worldwide (Harahap et al., 2023). As the world pushes for sustainability, the maritime sector is exploring renewable energy options…
Author: PPD Team Date: 15/04/2025 Since FY 2014-15, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) has carried out street light installations across the following States and Union Territories, with the state-wise installation details recorded as of March 31, 2025 shown below: So far, the 2015 launched Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP) has installed 13.1 million LED streetlights. As a result, 8.8 billion kWh of electricity has been saved, leading to approximately Rs 61.78 billion in monetary savings…
