Author: PPD Team Date: April 18, 2025 List of Hydro Electric Projects (above 25 MW) -under implementation India has 26 hydroelectric projects (HEPs) with a total capacity of 13,238 MW that are under construction. Currently, there are 209 operational HEPs with a combined installed capacity of 42,983 MW. Some projects like Teesta-III, Teesta-V, Khandong, and Malana-II are generating less or no power due to flash floods and cloudbursts, causing outages. Developers are working on improving…
Author: PPD Team Date: November 23, 2025 Thermal power remains central to India’s electricity system. It continues to anchor grid stability even as renewable capacity grows at a rapid pace. According to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), India’s total installed capacity reached 500,889 MW by the end of September 2025. Thermal power accounted for 244,800 MW, or 48.87 per cent of the total. Renewable energy, including solar, wind, small hydro, and biomass, reached a 39.37…
Author: PPD Team Date: February 22, 2026 The International Energy Agency’s Electricity 2026 report positions electricity as the defining energy vector of the coming decade. Demand growth is accelerating globally, driven by electrification, digitalisation and climate policy. Within this context, India is one of the largest contributors to global electricity demand growth. India’s power system is expanding at a scale and speed that few other countries can match. The choices it makes over the next…
Author: PPD Team Date: January 6, 2025 Year-End Review: India’s Renewable Energy Progress in 2024 By November 2024, India had a total non-fossil fuel capacity of 214 GW, an increase of over 14% from the 187.05 GW recorded during the same period in 2023. From April to November 2024, India added nearly 15 GW of renewable energy, nearly doubling the 7.57 GW added in the same months of 2023. PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana Launched…
Author: PPD Team Date: March 17, 2026 India does not have a single rooftop solar regime. While the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and the Forum of Regulators have issued model guidelines, implementation is a state subject, and the variation across jurisdictions is substantial. As of February 2026, the following is a comparative account of how key regulatory parameters differ. Metering Mechanisms Available Most states offer net metering as the base mechanism, but the…
By Consolidated Energy Consultants Limited (CECL) India’s energy transition entered a defining moment in January 2026 with a series of central and state actions designed to embed variable renewable energy, particularly wind, deeper into grid operations and long-term capacity planning. These initiatives reflect a clear evolution: from simply adding capacity to fundamentally re-engineering how the grid thinks about dispatchability, frequency management, and multi-modal evacuation. Key Central Initiatives: Making Wind and Solar Grid-Responsive At the heart…
