Uttar Pradesh is aiming to raise its renewable energy generation capacity to 20 GW over the next two to three years, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced while outlining the state’s ambitious roadmap for clean energy growth. The target marks a sharp increase from the state’s current renewable energy capacity of nearly 6 GW and reflects its growing focus on sustainable power generation.

In a major push towards clean energy adoption in the education sector, solar power systems will soon be installed in 130 government schools across Gurgaon. The initiative is part of a wider school infrastructure programme and is aimed at improving power reliability, reducing electricity expenses and introducing renewable energy solutions into public institutions.

Chhattisgarh has approved its Compressed Biogas Policy 2026, marking a fresh push to convert agricultural residue, cattle dung and other organic waste into clean fuel while opening up new income opportunities in rural areas. The policy was cleared at a state Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and is aimed at building a structured compressed biogas, or CBG, ecosystem across the state.

In a move aimed at making rooftop solar adoption easier and more accessible, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched “SUNtosh”, a WhatsApp-based chatbot that provides households with instant estimates of solar power benefits and potential savings. The chatbot has been introduced under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana and is designed to help consumers understand the financial and technical aspects of installing rooftop solar systems through a simple mobile interaction.

KPI Green Energy Limited has announced the incorporation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, KPGC One Private Limited (KPGCO), as part of its strategy to strengthen its presence across the renewable energy and power infrastructure value chain. The development marks another step in the company’s efforts to expand its clean energy footprint and create dedicated platforms for future power generation and energy storage projects.

When solar generation peaks in the afternoon, electricity demand is often still hours away from its evening high. Similarly, wind generation can fluctuate significantly depending on weather conditions. As renewable energy occupies a larger share of India’s power mix, managing these variations is becoming one of the biggest challenges for grid operators. This is where energy storage is emerging as a key part of the solution.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth around ₹47,000 crore in Odisha, while also announcing that Pahadpur village in Mayurbhanj district will be developed as a model solar village.
