India included 1534 MW of roof solar in fiscal year 2019
India's collective mounted ability of roof solar stood at 5440 MW as on December 31, 2019, with 1534 MW included the fiscal year 2019. Of the complete 5440 MW, commercial and also industrial (C&I) roofs represented 3964 MW, property 748 MW and also public industry setups 728 MW-- according to the most recent roof solar map launched by expert Bridge To India. Capex guidelines! The capital investment (capex) repayment design, under which systems are acquired as well as possessed by customers, represented the bulk (72%)-- 3917 MW-- of roof installments. The staying 28% (1523 MW) was set up under the operating expense (opex) option-- where systems are had as well as set up by third-party financiers. Maharashtra leads Maharashtra is the biggest roof solar base with 812 MW of generation ability, making up 595 MW of commercial systems, 160 MW of industrial as well as 57 MW of public market selections. Rajasthan, with 482 MW of roof capability, rates following-- carefully complied with by Tamil Nadu at 464 MW. In all these 3 states with each other, commercial market make up mass (75%) of the roof installment. States with the most affordable roof solar setup consist of Himachal Pradesh (10 MW) as well as Bihar (22 MW). Leading gamers throughout 2019 Throughout year 2019, China's Growatt became the biggest roof inverter distributor, asserting around 21% of the 1534 MW market, adhered to by opponents Solis (18%) as well as Sungrow (17%). Cleantech Solar-- with a 15.4% market share-- was the leading solar roof developer, complied with by Fourth Partner (12.3%) as well as Amplus (11.7%).

NTPC Tenders 1.7 GW BESS Across Thermal Stations Nationwide India
India’s state-run generator NTPC Ltd has launched an EPC tender for one of the country’s largest battery rollouts to date—1,700 MW/4,000 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to be installed across its fleet of thermal power stations. According to the Invitation for Bids, submissions are due by September 19. NTPC plans to execute the programme in two tranches: an initial 300 MW/1,200 MWh phase followed by a much larger 1,400 MW/2,800 MWh build-out. In total, the capacity will be distributed across 11 locations, with each installation integrated into existing plant infrastructure. The systems are specified for two full charge–discharge cycles per day and a 12-year operating period, underscoring the utility’s intent to deploy assets capable of daily peak shaving, renewable integration, and grid-balancing duties. The scope of work extends beyond batteries and enclosures. NTPC’s tender covers a full power conversion system, plus an energy management platform and SCADA for real-time monitoring and dispatch. Winning contractors will also be responsible for a comprehensive annual maintenance contract for 12 years from the commissioning date. Performance requirements call for each BESS to meet rated capacity at commissioning and maintain it through the first year of operation. By colocating storage with thermal assets, NTPC can leverage robust grid interconnections and existing land, accelerating deployment while reducing balance-of-plant complexity. Strategically, marrying batteries to conventional stations enables more flexible operations—allowing plants to run at steadier load factors while batteries handle ramps, frequency control, and evening peaks. Over time, such hybrids can cut fuel burn, lower emissions intensity per kWh, and improve system reliability as variable wind and solar gain share on the grid. The tender’s scale and multi-site structure signal a maturing Indian storage market, with EPCs expected to bring bankable technology stacks, standardised designs, and proven O&M programs. With daily cycling specified from day one, suppliers will need to optimise for lifecycle costs, warranty-backed performance, and integration finesse at brownfield sites.

Cairn Oil Locks 25-MW Green Power PPA in India
India’s Cairn Oil has signed a 25-MW renewable power purchase agreement with Serentica, securing contracted green electricity to support its operations and lower Scope 2 emissions. The deal follows a broader push by industrial and energy firms to lock in long-term clean power supplies for cost and emissions management.For Cairn, the PPA is expected to provide greater price and supply predictability versus relying on variable grid tariffs, improving sustainability reporting. For Serentica, the contracted offtake reduces revenue risk and can help underpin project financing and build decisions, particularly when paired with strong performance and telemetry arrangements. How will Cairn’s 25MW PPA with Serentica cut Scope 2 emissions? Scope 2 emissions come from the electricity Cairn purchases to run offices, processing/production facilities, and other on-site loads. A 25MW PPA switches that purchased power from the grid mix toward contracted renewable generation. By taking renewable electricity volumes under the PPA, Cairn can reduce the carbon intensity of the electricity it uses—effectively displacing higher-emission generation that would otherwise be supplied through the general grid. If the PPA includes renewable energy attributes (e.g., certificates/RECs/green power claims), those attributes can be used for emissions accounting so Cairn’s reported electricity-related emissions reflect the lower-carbon power sourced through the contract rather than the average grid factor. Contracted, contracted-at-scale renewables can improve “market-based” emissions figures by enabling Cairn to report electricity using contract-specific emissions factors instead of the general location-based grid average (where accounting rules allow). Matching contracted renewable output to Cairn’s consumption over the contract term helps ensure that a greater share of Cairn’s annual electricity use is covered by low-emission power, lowering total Scope 2 emissions each reporting period. A long-term supply agreement reduces the likelihood that Cairn must rely on more carbon-intensive residual grid supply during peak demand windows, which can otherwise raise average emissions intensity. Cleaner electricity procurement can also support broader operational efficiency initiatives (e.g., better planning for power demand, load management, and electrification measures) that indirectly reduce total electricity use and therefore Scope 2 emissions. Improved performance and telemetry tied to the PPA enables Cairn to quantify how much renewable power was delivered and matched, strengthening the data quality behind Scope 2 calculations and sustainability disclosures.
