We envisioned a renewable energy-rich future in the early1980s and developed our strength in technologies, policies, and market designs to promote it. We focus on establishing performance benchmarks and quality standards for renewable energy technologies. We also build research partnerships and programmes with industry and academia, to develop new solutions in solar, wind and biomass energy.
Solar rooftop systems for consumers in Surat and New Delhi have helped in reducing electricity bills as well as achieving India’s renewable energy goals.
A novel way of utlising biomass and solar power to create cold storage facility in rural areas
Rooftop solar PV systems benefit power distribution companies by reducing their technical, financial and operational burden
Apart from helping smoothen grid integration of renewables, battery storage can also help discoms with demand side management
Research under the COBENEFITS project suggests that shifting to more renewable energy in power generation would also lead to employment generation, better health, and cleaner air
One must look beyond just upfront cost and also consider life cycle economic assessment when evaluating the cost of battery energy storage systems
Stakeholders of the Indian EV-market and experts from CharIN and EV-related industries will meet during the 1st CharIN India Conference, scheduled for May 11th, 2018 in New Delhi to discuss about the future of e-mobility in India powered by the Combined Charging System (CCS). This one-day conference consists of technical speeches, a panel discussion, and networking opportunities.

The department of Energy and Environment of TERI University is organizing the 7th edition of REtopia, the annual technical symposium, at the TERI University campus on 22nd and 23rd of September, 2017 around the theme "21st Century Energy Renaissance through Renewables". REtopia was started by students from M.Tech. Renewable Energy Engineering and Management (REEM) of the Department of Energy and Environment at TERI University in the year 2011 as an annual technical conclave.
Dr Martin Keller, Director, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA deliberated on 'The Road Ahead for Solar, Wind and Bioenergy Technologies' at TERI on August 22.
Speaking about the immense potential of renewables, Dr Keller said, "We are just at the beginning of innovation in renewables."
Switching subsidies from kerosene to off-grid solar products would improve electricity access for households still reliant on kerosene, according to a study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development and TERI.
The drop in renewable energy tariffs in India is one of the true success stories of the last few years. From around Rs 10-12/kWh in 2010, solar tariffs have come down to Rs 2.5-3/kWh. Wind tariffs have fallen from Rs 4.5-5/kWh to a similar range as solar. There is no longer any doubt that renewables are cheaper than new coal, and indeed cheaper than large shares of the existing coal fleet. India stands before the real prospect of being the first country in history to power its development through an early leap into renewables.
According to the TERI report, the levelised cost of electricity from ground-mounted solar projects will fall from Rs 2.87 a unit in 2018 to Rs 2.30 a unit in 2030
Renewables would be preferred source of energy by 2030 with tariffs ranging between Rs 1.9-2.6 per unit for wind and solar power and storage cost declining by around 70 per cent, according to a report by Energy Transition Commission released on the sidelines of the World Sustainable Development Summit 2019.
We can make the best use of low-cost renewable electricity if we can simultaneously create a market, which enables price discovery, for capacity availability. It would bring out the efficient coal power plans today or storage capacity, such as batteries, tomorrow. There is a need for multi-stakeholder engagement that will discuss, debate and promote actions needed for the seamless integration of low-cost renewable electricity. The Energy Transitions Commission is a step in this direction. As can be expected, there are many actions that are needed.
TERI, in partnership with STEAG Energy Services, has developed a system to provide clean energy to off-grid populations
A new report provides a six-step implementation plan for governments to switch kerosene subsidies to solar and ensure clean energy for all
An exploration of the idea of gradually moving from subsidies on kerosene to investing in off-grid solar technologies for marginalised households
Modern energy services are crucial to human well-being and to a country's economic development; and yet globally over 1.3 billion people are without access to electricity and 2.6 billion people are without clean cooking facilities. More than 95 per cent of these people are either in Sub-Saharan African or developing Asia and 84 per cent are in rural areas (International Energy Agency, 2015).
India happens to be the world's fourth largest energy consumer and a consumer of crude and petroleum products after the United States,China, and Japan. The net oil import dependency of India rose from 43 per cent in 1990 to 71 per cent in 2012 that resulted in a huge strain on the current account as well as the government exchequer. Transport sector accounts for the largest share (around 51 per cent) in terms of consumption of petroleum products in India.
The Fifth Assessment Reports released by the IPCC indicates that increase in global temperatures is proportional to the build-up of long-lasting greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. Various models have estimated 680-1200 billion tonnes of CO2 as being the maximum volume of CO2 that could be emitted till 2100 into the atmosphere to still stay within the 2 °C limit. However, few countries have made efforts to move towards any major deviations from their past emission trajectories.
