SECI to Implement Solar Storage Project in Lakshadweep

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has unveiled plans to implement a solar storage project in the picturesque Lakshadweep islands, aiming to enhance energy access and reliability in the remote archipelago. The project, designed to integrate solar energy with storage solutions, reflects SECI's commitment to promoting renewable energy adoption in off-grid and island regions.

Lakshadweep, known for its pristine beauty and ecological significance, faces challenges in meeting its energy requirements due to its remote location and limited connectivity to the mainland grid. SECI's initiative seeks to address these challenges by harnessing solar power and deploying storage systems to ensure round-the-clock energy availability for residents and businesses.

The solar storage project in Lakshadweep is expected to reduce dependence on diesel generators and other fossil fuel-based power generation methods, thereby cutting down carbon emissions and mitigating environmental impact. By leveraging solar energy and storage technologies, SECI aims to create a sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem in the islands.

The project will involve the installation of solar panels and battery storage systems across select locations in Lakshadweep, optimizing energy generation and distribution to meet local demand efficiently. SECI will collaborate with local authorities and stakeholders to ensure seamless project execution and maximize the benefits for the island community.

SECI's endeavor aligns with the government's vision of promoting renewable energy adoption and achieving energy security and sustainability in remote areas. The solar storage project in Lakshadweep is poised to set a precedent for similar initiatives in other island regions, driving the transition towards cleaner and more resilient energy systems across India's diverse geographical landscape.

Airfare hike not tied to increased airport charges; ACI

The Airports Council International (ACI) stated that rising airfares are not linked to increased airport charges. Airport charges are crucial for infrastructure development within the commercial aviation ecosystem, but they remain a minimal part of the overall airfare. Stefano Baronci, Director General of ACI Asia Pacific & Middle East, emphasized that airports are infrastructure-intensive businesses, with costs dominated by maintaining essential infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, aprons, and terminal buildings. He noted that neglecting the capital expenditure needed to support future g..
