From Auctions to Execution: How Competitive Procurement Fuels Renewable Growth
The renewable energy sector has changed radically over the past decade. What started as an expensive alternative to conventional power has become the most cost-effective option for new electricity generation in most markets. This shift happened because of one thing: competitive procurement for renewables. When governments and utilities switched from fixed-price contracts to auction-based bidding, […]
Overcoming Equipment Supply Chain Risks in Transmission Projects
The power sector is facing an unprecedented challenge that threatens to derail clean energy ambitions worldwide. As countries push toward ambitious renewable energy targets, transmission infrastructure has become the bottleneck holding back progress. Lead times for power transformers now extend beyond four years, circuit breakers take nearly three years to procure, and high-voltage cables face […]
How Digital and AI-Driven O&M Is Reducing Asset Failures and Boosting Uptime
The renewable energy sector is witnessing a quiet revolution. Solar farms and transmission networks that once relied on manual inspections and reactive repairs are now being monitored by intelligent systems that predict failures before they happen. This shift towards digital and AI-driven operations and maintenance (O&M) is changing how energy assets are managed, making them […]
Solar Plus Storage & Procurement Strategy: New Paradigms in Power Asset Sourcing
India’s renewable energy landscape is experiencing a major shift. The rise of solar-plus-storage tenders is creating fresh challenges for project developers, utilities, and procurement teams. When batteries join solar projects, procurement becomes more complicated than buying solar panels alone. Between 2024 and early 2025, India tendered over 10.6 GW of solar capacity paired with 12.5 […]
Transmission Bottlenecks in India: Why Grid Expansion Must Catch Up with Renewable Growth
India’s clean energy story reads like a tale of two speeds. On one side, solar and wind installations are breaking records. On the other, the transmission network that’s supposed to carry this power is struggling to keep pace. The result? Over 50 gigawatts of renewable capacity sitting idle, unable to reach the consumers who need […]
