Electricity is a crucial sector for the development of a modern, prosperous and sustainable economy. We work on improving the socio-economic performance of the electricity sector, and the development and implementation of policies to reduce its environmental footprint. We work with distribution utilities, central and state level regulators, and companies in the electricity and allied fuel sectors.
The following is a chapter in the upcoming book published by ICRIER in the memory of Isher Judge Ahluwalia
TERI's survey on consumer perception of electric vehicles (EVs) revealed that issues like upfront cost, battery replacement, and range anxiety are topmost concerns for people considering buying an EV
The IEA featured TERI's case study on Kolkata's successful operation of e-buses fleet in its flagship publication GEVO 2020
Making natural gas an attractive fuel option for small and medium industries can be an important step in cleaning Delhi-NCR's air
With the increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy sources such as solar PV and energy storage into the Indian electricity sector, it is necessary to prepare for managing the waste generated from these technologies. The reduce, reuse, and recover approach offers multiple socio-economic benefits besides being environmentally benign.
The virtual roundtable discussion aims to understand the anticipated impacts of EV integration with electricity distribution networks
TATA Power Company Limited (TPCL) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) are conducting a joint two-webinar series with a focus on – "Transitioning towards a Next Gen Utility"
The increasing emergence of Distributed Energy Resources, including local storage, Electric Vehicles, and Demand Response at the distribution level is expected to bring new operational issues and challenges for the existing power distribution system
On 24th October 2020, 02:30 PM - 04:30 PM IST
The webinar aims to discuss key financial, regulatory, and technical issues and challenges in controlling emissions at thermal power stations
Proceedings from webinar on ‘Transmission System Development in India: Issues and Challenges in Promoting Competition’ that discussed the issues and challenges standing in the way of increased competition and private sector participation in the power transmission system in India.
The event discusses the learnings from implementing the scheme that incentivises agriculture consumers to use the free electricity they are provided efficiently in order to tackle depleting groundwater, energy efficiency, and the subsidy burden on discoms.
As the carbon emissions per unit of electricity decline, India can look at a parallel transition away from fossil fuels in transport. The electricity distribution companies (DISCOMS) can be mandated to put up charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in cities and along our national highways. The distribution business being regulated in India, this investment can get return along with other distribution investments through the tariffs set by the Regulators.
According to Mr A K Saxena, Senior Director, Electricity and Fuels Division, TERI, delicensing of generation in 2003 and demand projections kindled interest of developers in generating capacity addition. There was a spurt in the capacity addition during the 10th and 11th Five Year Plan. During the last few years, the generation capacity is far in excess of demand which can be met economically. It certainly puts a pressure on the financial performance of the generating companies.
The bigger the electric car and its range, the more battery cells are needed to power it, and consequently the more carbon produced, according to Mr Alekhya Datta, Fellow, TERI.
The discussion paper analyses the implications of the separation of 'carriage' (the wires business) and 'content' (the supply business) in retail electricity distribution in India
This paper examines the impact of the electric utilities sector on the environment, including global climate change and more local or regional environmental issues such as air pollution.
As per TERI's analysis, of the total environmental pollution in 2016, the power sector reportedly accounted for 51% of sulphur dioxide (SO2), 43% of carbon dioxide (CO2), 20% of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and 7% of PM2.5 emissions.
