Floating Solar: Unlocking Scalable Clean Energy on Water Emerging as a frontier in the renewable transition, specifically for land-constrained regions and water-stressed economies. Floating solar is emerging as one of the most promising frontiers in the renewable energy transition—particularly for land-constrained regions and water-stressed economies. By deploying solar photovoltaic systems Read more…
As India ramps up solar capacity under ambitious national targets, a new bottleneck has emerged—not generation, but integration. A recent Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) snapshot from May 2025 paints a telling picture: solar power at noon cleared at just ₹0.30/kWh ($3.60/MWh), with oversupply peaking and demand lagging. This is not Read more…
By Firstgreen Consulting | May 2025 India’s energy transformation is entering its most disruptive phase. While solar tariffs made headlines a decade ago, a silent revolution is now underway in battery energy storage systems (BESS) — and it’s rewriting the economics of grid management, renewables integration, and energy security. In Read more…
As India leads the global charge towards net-zero, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the built environment presents a transformative opportunity to decarbonise, digitise and democratise energy access. India’s cities are engines of economic growth. Yet, they are also centres of rising energy demand, much of it driven by Read more…
“We don’t need to build our way out of the energy crisis. We need to outthink it.” The International Energy Agency’s recent Energy and AI report carried a powerful insight—perhaps its most radical yet understated: “Up to 175 GW of transmission capacity could be unlocked globally through AI-enabled optimisation—without building Read more…
Did you know that buildings account for 18% of global energy consumption, primarily through heating, cooling, and lighting? Traditional HVAC systems often fail to adapt to changing conditions, leading to significant energy wastage. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI) – a revolutionary force poised to transform building energy management, making it more Read more…
Introduction: Transitioning to Renewables As India advances toward its ambitious renewable energy (RE) targets, oil and gas companies—both domestic and international—are playing a significant role in shaping the energy landscape. From green hydrogen projects to solar and wind acquisitions, these companies are leveraging their expertise and capital to dominate the Read more…
