With energy conservation and carbon reduction key priorities, it is in the collective interest of all to encourage Net Zero Energy Building as an imperative requirement. Where are we as far as this approach is concerned?

The article describes the importance of monitoring power quality parameters for stabilising the electricity grid. The recurrent and intermittent renewable energy connections also induce voltage fluctuations, harmonics, surges and imbalances in the grid. These are power quality issues which need to be addressed. - Jayant Sinha

In the last around two years, Indian power sector has grown at a very fast pace. Some of the plans, although made by the previous government, they could not accelerate their execution process. The present government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal; has been successfully driving the sector towards an all round success. They have for the first time outpaced the growth rate of several areas under this sector…  - P K Chatterjee

Keeping in view the falling tariff in Solar PV, there has been talk of having competitive bidding in wind power also, however it would be a challenge to opt for competitive bidding in case of wind as the wind power is very site specific – even in locations which are high wind zone as compared to solar which is more widespread phenomenon... - Vijay Singh Bisht
