DISCOMs are at the center of India’s energy transition, responsible for delivering electricity to millions of consumers and integrating rapidly growing shares of renewable energy into the grid. But most face serious operational and financial challenges. According to the PFC Report (2023-24), AT&C losses worsened to 16.1%, billing efficiency slipped to 86.9%, and accumulated losses […]
Why Green Hydrogen Matters Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, is critical for India’s decarbonization journey. It enables deep emissions reductions across hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, fertilisers, refining, chemicals, long-haul transport, and shipping. Additionally, it plays a vital role in energy storage, grid balancing, and facilitating cross-border renewable energy trade. According […]
24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) ensures that clean electricity is being used in real time, hour by hour, which more accurately reflects actual emissions reductions. Traditional annual or monthly accounting methods can mask periods when fossil fuels are still powering operations, while granular matching accurately matching electricity consumption with renewable generation on an hourly—or even sub-hourly—basis. […]
Vietnam’s clean energy transition is gaining pace. Coal still leads, but its share dropped to 40% in 2022, down from 50% in 2019, as renewables, especially solar and wind, expanded rapidly. The government’s COP26 pledge to phase out unabated coal by the 2040s has reinforced this shift. By 2022, renewables made up 49% of total […]
A Look Back: The Role of LGCs in Australia’s Renewable Energy Story The Large-Scale Generation Certificate (LGC) system has been an integral part of Australia’s renewable energy market, functioning under the Renewable Energy Target (RET). Electricity retailers must purchase LGCs to meet RET compliance obligations. However, we have seen voluntary corporate buyers have driven additional […]
