India and Norway just took a major step forward in offshore wind energy. During Hon'ble PM Modi's visit to Oslo, both nations signed five bilateral agreements — with offshore and floating wind energy at the heart of the collaboration. Here's what stands out: - Indian research institutes (CSIR-SERC, CSIR-NAL, CSIR-NIO, CSIR-4PI) are partnering with Norway's SINTEF — one of Europe's largest independent research organizations — specifically on floating offshore wind systems. - The joint programme targets reduction in Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), pilot demonstrations, standardization, and skill development in offshore renewables. - A broader 2026–2029 roadmap covers offshore wind, hybrid technologies, ocean energy, and carbon capture — backed by ₹341 lakh in CSIR funding. India has a good established 70 GW offshore wind potential — and a 7,500 km coastline — but floating wind technology (needed for deeper waters) is still nascent. Norway, with decades of offshore expertise from the oil & gas and wind sectors, is exactly the kind of partner India needs to accelerate this transition. #OffshoreWind #CleanEnergy #India #Norway #FloatingWind #EnergyTransition #Renewables #CSIR #SINTEF @narendramodi | @jonasgahrstore @CSIR_IND | @mnreindia | @SINTEF | @indianwindpower | @Adee_Tweets | @lalitbhatt6 |

India's energy transition is multi-vector — grid power, fuels, and rural industry are all in play. Wind and bioenergy are both central to the 500 GW non-fossil target and Net Zero 2070. With electricity at just 21% of the energy basket today and 47% import dependence on LNG and LPG, the urgency to scale domestic clean energy has never been greater.

From Bottlenecks to Breakthroughs: State Reforms Paving the Way for Faster Renewable Capacity Addition As India races toward its clean energy targets, Rajasthan is setting the benchmark for how states can proactively dismantle procedural bottlenecks and create a truly investor-friendly renewable energy ecosystem. In a significant response to the MNRE Wind Task Force meeting held on 2nd April 2026, the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL) has outlined a comprehensive suite of state-level reforms under the Ease of Doing Business initiative for the power sector. From fully digitalising project registrations through the RRECL Developer Connect portal — which has already processed 12,290 MW in capacity applications and 1,231 MW in power evacuation approvals — to fast-tracking PPAs, WBAs, and land sub-leases through direct submissions, the State is eliminating the friction that once slowed project timelines. Landmark policy moves such as self-certification for electrical installations up to 33 kV, a standardised SoP for captive and third-party sale projects, Virtual and Group Net Metering provisions, Green Energy Open Access implementation, and exemption of PSPs, BESS, and CBG plants from mandatory land conversion rules are together creating a regulatory environment built for speed, transparency, and scale. Rajasthan's actions today are not just State-level reforms — they are building blocks for India's clean energy transition. #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #SolarEnergy #RRECL #Rajasthan #EaseOfDoingBusiness #MNRE #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #GreenIndia #WindPower #BESS #EnergyStorage #OpenAccess #NetMetering #IndiaRenewable #RE500GW #PolicyReforms #SustainableIndia #PowerSector @mnreindia | Rajesh Kulhari | @RRECL_official | Dr. Rohit Gupta | @MinOfPower | @NITIAayog | @SECI_Ltd @indianwindpower | @Adee_Tweets | @lalitbhatt6

The DSM squeeze to Wind Generation and Scheduling The revised DSM proposed three significant changes: -Compressing wind's deviation tolerance from ±15% → ±10% of scheduled generation, -Shifting the deviation formula from available capacity-based to scheduled generation-based calculation, -Introducing steeper penalty slabs for exceedance. Wind generation follows a Weibull distribution — output curve. Penalising deviation without accounting for forecast uncertainty at the plant level is technically inconsistent with how wind resources behave on the grid. Here it is pertinent to see the Karnataka High Court's stay on the new DSM regulations, that DSM regulations final notification deviated materially from its draft (denying stakeholders a meaningful technical response), actually reopens the consultation window. This is where the industry's opportunity lies — not just in the courtroom, but in the next CERC engagement cycle. A forecasting window with 15-minute interval scheduling, exploring Wind + BESS hybrid architectures for smoother forecasting and scheduling and improving the weather data availability (more granular site data and not just satellite data) that can meaningfully reduce deviation exposure. India's path to 500 GW of non-fossil capacity makes an evolved DSM inevitable and the Electricity Act talks about promotion of Renewable Energy so Scheduling mechanisms should also follow the spirit of the Act. #WindEnergy #DSM #CERC #GridIntegration #RenewableEnergy #EnergyPolicy #India #PowerSector #WindPower #EnergyTransition #500GW @indianwindpower | @Adee_Tweets | @lalitbhatt6
