The study of networks has grown recently, but most existing models fail to capture the costs or loss of value of exclusion from the network.
Till recently, the on-shore wind power potential in India was officially estimated to be 49 GW, out of which 17 GW forms part of the country’s mainstream energy mix.
The study of networks and network science has grown in the last decade, but most network models fail to capture the costs or loss of value of exclusion from the network.
The Sustainable Rooftop Implementation for Solar Transfiguration of India (SRISTI) scheme was announced in early 2019.
India’s rooftop solar (RTS) sector has immense growth potential though it is underperforming currently with only 8 GW installed capacity as against the 40 GW target set for 2022.
Energy access is a well-proven determinant in several development and transformative sectors, such as education, primary health, gender empowerment, and quality of life.
This report—a joint effort of CSTEP and RAND Corporation—examines various state-level policy initiatives for solar PV module manufacturing in India.
In December 2015, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified emission standards for limiting sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and mercury emissions in coal-based thermal power plants.
There are continuing concerns over economic and environmental developments in many countries - some of these have intensified due to prolonged global energy, food and financial crises.
As a large developing country, India’s challenge is to meet its development aspirations in a carbon-constrained world.
The threat of climate change is a serious global concern.
CSTEP has developed a tool to accurately assess the solar potential of rooftops in cities using light detection and ranging, or LiDAR.
CSTEP is working with the Government of Karnataka and other state governments to develop a more holistic approach whilst developing RE plans for the near future.
An important concern with distribution companies (DISCOMs) is the wide gap between the costs incurred and the revenue realised by them.
Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) - 100% energy-efficient, sustainable buildings - can be a game changer, not only for India’s building sector, but also for the energy sector.
The offshore wind industry has significant potential as a long-term solution.
