The Ministry of Industry and Trade is preparing measures to secure electricity supply during 2027–2028. Priorities include addressing thermal power challenges, modernizing infrastructure, deploying Digital Twins by early 2027, and reducing northern peak demand by 3,000 MW through conservation. Stronger interagency coordination, public communication, accountability, and a forthcoming implementation directive will support reliable operations.

The Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission is reviewing proposed amendments to Bihar’s 2018 rooftop solar regulations, including net metering limits, surplus electricity injection, and a ₹2.71/kWh gross-metering FiT for FY 2026-27. After public consultation, BERC directed stakeholders to respond by November 19, with the next hearing scheduled for November 24, 2026.

Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited delivered a greener Diwali for the second consecutive year, meeting approximately 92% of household electricity demand through non-fossil fuel sources. Renewables supplied nearly 75%, supported by hydro, solar, wind and nuclear power. CPDL also maintained uninterrupted service and reaffirmed its commitment to expanding clean energy and sustainability.

GERC allowed Waaree Energies to temporarily use GETCO’s idle 66 kV line and feeder bay to evacuate power from its 20.7 MW Chikhli solar project. The arrangement, valid until November 25, 2027, or until dedicated infrastructure is commissioned, prevents delays while preserving GETCO’s ownership and imposing transmission, maintenance, metering, and restoration obligations.

EcoSolar Energy Corporation has energized its 22.5 MW/45 MWh Panitan battery storage project in Capiz, Philippines, entering testing and commissioning after receiving market registration and provisional grid connection approval. As Capiz’s first battery storage facility, its grid-forming technology aims to improve stability, reliability, and resilience amid Visayas power shortages, high costs, and supply disruptions.

Africa’s rising population, urbanisation, and industrialisation are driving major power-sector transformation. CESI supports governments and utilities through integrated planning, grid studies, renewable-energy integration, digitalisation, and regional interconnections. Its work aims to modernise infrastructure, improve reliability and efficiency, strengthen institutional capacity, and enable cleaner, more flexible electricity systems capable of meeting future demand.

Alcazar Energy Partners has mobilised over US$1 billion for Egypt’s renewable energy sector through two 250 MW wind projects and a separate privatisation agreement. Financed partly by European development institutions, Niat and Rasgha are expected to operate by 2028, generating 2.3 TWh annually, avoiding 1.1 million tonnes of emissions and strengthening Egypt’s energy security.

A Tokyo corporate landmark has launched an integrated clean energy system combining rooftop solar, on-site green hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, fuel cells, and a physical corporate PPA. The initiative aims to improve energy security, reduce grid dependence and emissions, and demonstrate a scalable model for urban commercial decarbonisation through renewable generation, storage, and procurement.

Global renewable capacity could grow by nearly 4,800 GW from 2026 to 2031, led by solar PV and strong onshore wind expansion. India and developing economies will contribute substantially, alongside rising rooftop and off-grid solar adoption. However, grid constraints, curtailment and negative prices require investment in transmission, storage, flexibility and faster policy implementation to meet global targets.

On November 4, 2026, Indian equity markets closed positively, driven by gains in green energy and power stocks. The S&P BSE SENSEX rose 0.5%, led by strong performances from Insolation Energy and Inox Wind. Increased investor interest in renewable energy, battery storage, and utilities highlights significant growth opportunities in India's energy sector.

GERC approved a ₹2.34-per-unit tariff for 1,250 MW of solar capacity procured by GUVNL through Phase XXVIII competitive bidding, including 625 MW under the Greenshoe option. Three developers received allocations after 24 bids and a reverse auction reduced costs by 11.69%. The projects support Gujarat’s RPO compliance through FY 2029-30.

Modaso Energy and Tatanga Energy are collaborating on the Guruve-Mazowe Hybrid Renewable Energy Project in Zimbabwe, featuring 128 MW wind, 100 MW solar, and a 50 MW battery storage system. This first utility-scale renewable project in Zimbabwe aims to generate 550 GWh annually, create 1,000 jobs, and reduce carbon emissions significantly.
