Renewable Power Markets and its strong future

Image
The renewable energy power market is a platform to buy and sell electricity generated from different renewable resources like solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, nuclear fusion, etc. These sectors involve various stakeholders like RE developers, utilities, consumers, think tanks, research-consulting, and regulatory bodies. Renewable Energy Power Markets are similar to the regular power markets, with the focus on the renewable regular grid which is gradually converting into a Renewable Energy Grid across the globe. The world "Renewable Foot Prints" is increasing day by day. But still much more to be done with the quantum of the pollution spread and timeline we have. Some of the Renewable Power Markets that support in minimization of carbon emissions with the following platforms are as follows: Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) International RE Trade Performance Achieve Trade (PAT) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Scope 1, 2 and 3 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs

Shaping Geopolitics through Renewable Energy

Image
Renewable energy is generation and rapid increase in installation capacities across the world. Harvesting renewable energies does not deplete the resources or create environmental impacts at a minimal level. In fact, in many instances, the only environmental cost is that of constructing the infrastructure needed to harvest, store, and transmit the resultant energy. As the effects of anthropologic climate change i.e., climate change caused by human activity start to manifest, renewables are at the forefront of most geopolitical discourse. There is no escaping the simple fact that our civilization requires electricity to function but self-sustainability is at most needed in regular activities. Several countries around the world are dependent upon importing energy from other nations in order to meet their requirements.  International relations are more finely tuned than ever to the energy and power markets. The unstoppable march of climate change is bringing with it a growing awareness th

Solar panels installed on the roof with a capacity of 11.5 MW in Punjab state in India India’s solar mission which has kept at a target of 175 GW and the government is trying to keep its word to generate power from all kinds of Renewable Energy Resources. As it is focused on Solar, Wind and Biomass power generation technologies. We all know that a roof is the zero cost of land and uses the space for solar panel installation. There is no requirement of a special setup is installing the solar roof. Depending upon the roof size and shading and direction of the sunlight is considered for setting up the solar panels. But, most of them have small or medium roofs that can generate in kiloWatts (kW) or Megawatt (MW) scale. In Amritsar, there is an installation od 11.5 MW capacity of a solar power plant which is completely covered with solar roof which will benefit 8000 households was built by Radha Saomi Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization in Punjab.
