Giving momentum to decentralised solar power generation
May 15, 2023
| ET Energyworld
Solar power generation at load centres where there is demand saves the need for investments in transmission. There is, therefore, a strong case for promoting decentralised solar power generation. This is now an imperative as the annual rate of solar power capacity addition has to triple if the goal of 500GW of non-fossil fuel capacity creation by 2030 is to be achieved. Notwithstanding the emphasis in favour of roof top solar, success remains modest.
Hydrogen mission may undermine climate goals

Even if the government meets its ambitious target of producing 10 million tonnes of green hydrogen each year, it would still only provide about 1/15th of India's energy from coal. The very idea, which runs through government documents, that India will become a major exporter of hydrogen is questionable. Analysts at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) caution that a shortage of unused land will impede solar and wind capacity construction.

National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to make India the Global Hub for producing, using, and exporting Green Hydrogen and to assume technology and market leadership. A combination of competitive procurement and subsidy is needed to create demand for green hydrogen. With creative policy instruments used with speed, flexibility, and agility, we could be at the global frontier in this decade and at affordable costs, writes Mr Ajay Shankar, Distinguished Fellow, TERI.

Durable Wood Products Inc. and EMC Energy Inc., two Guyanese companies, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with TERI in the presence of President Mohamed Irfaan Ali in New Delhi. The collaboration will see the implementation of a 1.5 MW wood waste-based power generation through the gasification route for energy consumption in DWP production operations and excess power to the national grid. Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI, said TERI remains committed to supporting the Government and people of Guyana.
