While discussions on solar energy usually focus on how to efficiently capture the sun’s rays and convert that to usable electricity, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi has his sights set on developing solar energy storage capability.

At the World Government Summit in Dubai, the Prime Minister expressed his dedication to technology as a driving force in human advancement. In his keynote speech, the Premier stated that India aims to generate 175 gigawatts of power from renewable sources by as early as 2022.

He also announced India’s creation of a “solar alliance” to allow less-developed countries the opportunity to benefit from solar power’s emergence.

The Prime Minister made a point of emphasizing the historic relationship between India and the Sun.

He praised the forward-looking vision of his country’s leaders, citing the creation of the post of Minister of the Future in the UAE, as well as the appointment of a Minister of Happiness and Quality of Life.

The Premier reinforced the idea that technology can, and should, change the future of governance.

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ordered on July 11 that renewable developers surrender transmission rights or provide higher bank guarantees if their projects are not generating power, a change Reuters reported could free up roughly 15.7 gigawatts of grid connectivity. Reuters separately reported that coal still supplies about 70% of India's electricity generation as of an August 17 report.

  • 01CERC order requires renewable developers to either surrender transmission rights or post additional bank guarantees for non-generating projects.
  • 02Approximately 15.7 GW of grid connectivity held by awarded projects that are not generating power could be freed up; surrendered capacity would first go to existing applicants in the same substation cluster, with any remainder auctioned.
  • 03Developers and buyers evaluating projects in constrained substation clusters should verify current CERC connectivity status and guarantee backing, as auction-based allocation may alter cost and timing dynamics.
