India aims to build a complete solar manufacturing ecosystem in 4-5 years
India is set to establish a full-scale solar manufacturing ecosystem within the next 4-5 years, according to Avaada Group. This ambitious goal includes enhancing domestic production capabilities across the solar supply chain, from polysilicon and wafers to modules and cells. By focusing on local manufacturing, India aims to reduce its reliance on imports, create jobs, and strengthen its renewable energy sector. This development aligns with India’s commitment to renewable energy expansion, supporting both energy security and economic growth. Read the full article here.
Zaptec and Spirii introduce the PowerDelta algorithm to enhance EV charging efficiency
Zaptec and Spirii have jointly developed the PowerDelta algorithm, aiming to improve energy and cost efficiency in electric vehicle (EV) charging. This innovation enables chargers to transmit meter data only when significant power supply deviations occur, rather than at fixed intervals. By reducing unnecessary data transmissions, the algorithm decreases data center energy consumption and alleviates telecom network load. This advancement supports the scalability and efficiency of EV charging infrastructure. Read more about this advancement here.

Utilities propose $5 billion for energy efficiency and “thoughtful electrification” in mass save program in Massachusetts
Massachusetts utility companies, including Eversource and National Grid, have proposed a $5 billion energy efficiency plan aiming to enhance the Mass Save program from 2025 to 2027. This comprehensive proposal focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by providing incentives and support for energy-efficient building upgrades and electrification of heating. The plan also seeks to reduce electricity and gas consumption across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors through increased customer incentives. Targeting both greenhouse gas reduction and cost savings, this initiative highlights Massachusetts’ commitment to energy efficiency. Read the full article here.
A number of the Week: 15 minutes
Amprius Technologies has launched a groundbreaking electric vehicle (EV) battery that achieves a 90% charge in just 15 minutes, setting a new benchmark in EV charging technology. This rapid-charging capability represents a significant leap forward in EV convenience, as shorter charging times could make electric vehicles more practical and accessible for daily use. By drastically reducing wait times, this innovation addresses one of the main barriers to widespread EV adoption, paving the way for a future with faster, more efficient transportation solutions.
