Highlighting the continued progress achieved in the global energy transition, this latest edition of IRENA’s Renewable capacity statistics illustrates the growth of renewables in new installed power generation capacity in 2023. By the end of 2023, renewables accounted for 43% of global installed power capacity.

The Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) on March 15, 2024, issued the JSERC (Renewable Energy Purchase Obligation) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2024, to further amend the JSERC (Renewable Energy Purchase Obligation) Regulation, 2016. This shall come into force on April 01, 2024.

The Ministry of Power (MoP) has introduced the Electricity (Third Amendment) Rules, 2024, aimed at enhancing regulations pertaining to renewable energy sources in the country. These rules were published on March 12, 2024.

This report presents key findings from a series of IRENA virtual knowledge exchanges on renewables-based clean cooking solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

India’s US$2.1 billion push to transform it into a global green hydrogen powerhouse has received a strong response from large strategic investors in the country’s private sector, but the scheme can be further improved to attract start-ups and global players, according to this new joint report released by the Institute for Energy Economics and Fi

his World Energy Transitions Outlook brief provides the latest tracking data and analysis of global progress towards the goal to triple global renewable power capacity by 2030.

This report proposes a comprehensive classification of energy sources and products to address the lack of standardised global energy statistics – an issue that continues to undermine effective policy-making and international collaboration in the context of the energy transition.

This paper assesses the role of climate policies as a catalyst of low carbon technologies deployment through foreign direct investment (FDI). Leveraging detailed cross-border project-level information, it identifies “green” FDI and finds that a higher number of active climate policies is associated with higher levels of green FDI inflows.

India’s wind and solar energy capacity is expected to increase from just over a quarter of the total installed electricity generation capacity in 2024 and to about half by 2030. Demand-side management (DSM) measures can help cost-effectively integrate such variable renewable energy (VRE) resources while maintaining supply reliability.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has unveiled the draft design specifications for Solar Cold Storage (SCS), setting the stage for public feedback and stakeholder engagement.
