JSW Energy said on Monday that its subsidiary JSW ReNew Energy has commissioned 27 MW of wind power generation capacity in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu as part of the first phase of its 450 MW wind project. The project has a 25-year power purchase agreement with SECI. In addition to this project, the company is building 1.8 GW of greenfield renewable energy capacity, with a view to reaching 10 GW of capacity ahead of schedule. JSW Neo Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of JSW Energy, is a vehicle established as part of a business restructuring to own all renewable/green and new energy businesses. Around 2.63 GW of renewable energy projects are currently under construction/in pipeline, with 1.26 GW of wind projects expected to be fully operational within the next 12-18 months.
Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), the renewable energy arm of the Adani Group, has commissioned its third hybrid wind-solar power plant in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Jodhpur have developed nanocomposite catalytic materials for artificial photosynthesis to produce high-purity hydrogen. In the patented method, the researchers harness natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a highly recyclable catalyst. The team has now developed a series of catalysts that can efficiently produce hydrogen under ambient conditions.
