Green energy is a victim of its own success
-
One reason India may miss the February 10 deadline for submitting its third round of climate-action plans under the Paris Agreement or upgrade its targets may lie in a cloud over adopting renewable energy (RE).
As reported by this newspaper on Monday, RE projects of 40 Gigawatts (GW), tendered by four government-designated Renewable Energy Implementation Agencies (REIAs), have failed to find buyers.
A February 5 review meeting of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy revealed that these projects, awarded by RE-tendering agency Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and state-owned generators NTPC, NHPC, and SJVN, have been pending for over a year because no state government has opted to sign power-sale agreements (PSAs) with the RE generator.
The pending tenders amount to just under half the 94 GW of RE-project bids issued by the four agencies in 2023-24.

The return of the nativists
The most potent signs of the integration of India’s people emerged in the first days of the Covid-19 lockdown six years ago. As shops and factories downed shutters and construction sites froze, tens of thousands of workers and their families took to the roads. Unceremoniously evicted by employers and landlords, they were forced to make their way home from the boom towns of the south and west — on foot, bicycles, bullock carts (the lucky ones by lorry or trains) — to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and West Bengal.
