The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has introduced new guidelines for #solarphotovoltaic modules produced through an agreement between an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and a brand owner to be enlisted under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM). This comes after the implementation of the ALMM order for the financial year 2023-24 was put on hold by the government. As a result, solar projects commissioned by March 31, 2024, will be exempted from the requirement of procuring modules listed under ALMM.

SECI ( Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited ) is a government-owned company responsible for implementing the National Solar Mission and other #renewableenergy projects in India. In February 2023, SECI payments to wind and solar power generators increased by 9.58% compared to the previous month. However, compared to the same period last year, SECI payments have increased by 61.68%.Another factor could be changed in government policies and regulations, impacting the pricing and procurement of renewable energy.

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has taken a significant step towards promoting the use of #renewableenergy by approving a proposal to procure renewable non-solar power. The council aims to meet the power deficit of nearly 200 MW until March. Renewable non-solar power will be procured through a government enterprise, which will help the council in achieving its objective of reducing #carbonemissions and becoming more environment-friendly.

The Airport Authority Of India (AAI) has set a goal for all airports under its jurisdiction to achieve 100% use of #greenenergy by 2024 and net zero by 2030. Cochin Airport is currently the only airport in the world that operates solely on solar energy, and Mumbai and 25 other AAI airports are already using 100% green energy. Delhi and Mumbai airports have received the highest level of 4+ Carbon Accreditation from the Airports Council International (ACI).
