Global Tender Activity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solar energy is definitely here to stay! Solar energy led the overall global power sector<\/em> with 216 tenders accounting for 73%,\u00a0followed by thermal with 33 tenders and an 11.3% share and hydro with 20 tenders and a 6.8% share. With 209 tenders\u00a0accounting for\u00a071.8%, Asia-Pacific held the top position<\/em><\/strong> during Q4 2019, followed by\u00a0Europe with 36 tenders and a 12.4% share and the Middle East and Africa with 29 tenders and a 10% share. SECI’s 3,000MW from four tenders and NTPC’s 2,514 MW capacity from nine tenders were the top issuers. Also, read why Utilities Around the World Are Going Solar<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Even though the pace of solar capacity additions has slowed down in India, the country still topped power generation tenders capacity globally. India which is still a predominantly fossil-fuel-based economy has\u00a0added 50\u00a0GW of renewable energy capacity<\/em><\/strong> over the last five years. Out of the total 98 GW power generation capacity, more than 50%\u00a0was based on renewable energy technologies dominated by solar power<\/em>. Wind energy additions, on the other hand, have slowed down, with India witnessing just over 14\u00a0GW of new capacity.<\/p>\n

Fossil fuels<\/strong> like coal, diesel, and gas witnessed the addition of 42\u00a0GW of new capacity<\/em> over the last five years. Coal led the capacity additions with 41 GW of new capacity added. However,\u00a0capacity added through renewable energy technologies exceeded that based on fossil fuels, over the last 12 out of 18 quarters (ending December).
