The electrolyser incentive will be based on a performance multiplier matrix covering aspects such as energy consumption by the electrolyser and its performance quotient.
The peak power demand has remained below the 200 GW-mark for at least three continuous days which can be attributed to monsoon reaching several parts of the country, officials said.
The MNRE secretary added that the government will also come up with guidelines for creation of Green Hydrogen Hub, which is an area where production and consumption occur in close proximity.
As the government aims to produce about 1.2 million metric tonnes (MMT) of green hydrogen annually initially, a section of industry stakeholders has been skeptical about mass production despite the incentives,
Authorities in New Delhi seek to accelerate large coal consumer’s transition to clean energy
The stock has gained 82 percent in the last one year after languishing for much of the past decade
APJL will supply 1,496 MW net capacity power from the 1,600 MW Godda USCTPP under the power purchase agreement (PPA) with Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB)
In another modification of the policy, the MoP has directed that torrefied biomass pellets shall only be procured by utilities for which it is technically unavoidable. This change in the policy has been done because production of torrefied biomass pellets is currently limited in the country compared to its demand.
The peak demand deficit, which refers to the shortfall in meeting the demand, stood at 64 megawatts (MW) on June 26 against 13 MW on June 25. When the demand goes beyond 210 MW, the peak shortage begins to increase and sometimes crosses 2,000 MW as well.
Prices of solar wafers have halved from the year ago period
Of the 165 domestic coal-based thermal power plants in the country, 38 had critical stocks as on June 25.
Delhi's minister for power Atishi said consumers who get free electricity up to 200 units will have no impact from the hike in surcharge. At least 1.9 million consumers of BSES Yamuna Power Limited will have to pay 9.42 percent more towards their electricity bills
The wind energy target of 100 GW by 2030, includes only land-based projects. It does not include off-shore wind projects. For solar energy, the government has set a target of an installed solar capacity of 292 GW
In 2021, the government had set the target to bring down AT&C losses to 12-15 percent by the financial year 2025. However, going by the latest provisional data, the government is likely to have achieved this target two years in advance.
Union Minister for Power RK Singh said the government is fully prepared to meet the power demand during the monsoon
The government must come up with measures to plug the glitches that are short-circuiting the solar park scheme
The energy shortage in the country has come down from 4.2 percent in 2014 to around 0.2 percent in FY 2022, the Union minister for power said.
Union minister for power RK Singh on June 22 said the government is fully prepared to meet the power demand during the monsoons as well.
Delayed by 10 days due to cyclone Biparjoy, the southwest monsoon is likely to progress further and hit Mumbai during June 23-25, the India Meteorological Department said on June 21.
The reasons for delay in establishing Solar Parks include challenges in acquisition of clear land, mismatch in timelines between solar projects and power evacuation infrastructure, environmental issues like Great Indian Bustard issue, and regulatory challenges like non-approval of solar tariff by SERCs
The problem is that India's own manufacturing units for RE projects are scarce at the moment. While there is almost no set up in the manufacturing of parts for wind energy in India, manufacturing in the solar sector is picking up but slowly
The central government recently sped up the permission process for pumped storage projects in the country. State governments have also signed MoUs for setting up PSPs. Moneycontrol explains why governments are so invested in this hydropower technology.
The government on June 12 extended its direction to imported coal-based plants to mandatorily operate and generate power till September 30 this year.
Tariffs during solar hours should be at least 20 percent lower than the usual tariffs across all categories. Also, the ToD tariff specified by the state commission for C&I consumers during the peak period of the day shall not be less than 1.20 times the normal tariff and for other consumers, it shall not be less than 1.10 times the normal tariff, as per the latest amendments by the government
At least, 33.9 million tonnes (MT) of coal are stocked at thermal power plants.
