The power sector in Karnataka is witnessing significant advancements with the introduction of a Framework for Resource Adequacy by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC). This framework aims to ensure a reliable electricity supply for consumers while adapting to the evolving challenges in the state's power sector. It defines resource adequacy as the power system's capability to meet the aggregate electrical demand and energy requirements of consumers consistently with a specified degree of reliability. Furthermore, the Ministry of Power has issued new guidelines to streamline rooftop solar installations under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, aiming to reach 10 million households by 2026-27. The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission has made amendments to its renewable energy connectivity regulations, enabling the transfer of connectivity rights in cases where multiple entities are developing renewable energy projects. Additionally, the Ministry of Power in India has set ambitious targets to expand the country's power transmission network to meet a peak electricity demand of 458 GW by 2032. Moreover, a groundbreaking development in hydrogen storage technology has taken place, with scientists and researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Northwestern University developing a supramolecular material that can compress hydrogen for storage without adding weight. This innovation offers promising opportunities for efficient hydrogen storage. On the other hand, in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has released tender documents for the sixth round of the National Renewable Energy Program, inviting bids for solar photovoltaic and wind energy projects totaling 4,500 MW. This initiative demonstrates the country's commitment to expanding its renewable energy capacity.
