Delta enables self-sufficient energy ecosystems with decentralised grid solutions

The company’s solutions are designed to empower industries, businesses, and communities to generate, store, and manage their own energy efficiently.

Delta Electronics India is deeply invested in the evolution and adoption of decentralised grid systems, which are crucial in enhancing energy access and reliability. Solutions by the company are designed to empower industries, businesses, and communities to generate, store, and manage their energy efficiently. Delta provides state-of-the-art power conditioning systems, microgrid controllers, and modular energy storage systems that enable decentralised grids to operate seamlessly. These systems reduce dependency on centralised power infrastructure, minimise transmission losses, and ensure energy availability even in remote areas. By integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind with energy storage and advanced grid management technologies, Delta helps create self-sufficient energy ecosystems. Delta’s focus on scalability and interoperability also ensures that decentralised grids can grow alongside demand. The company’s approach enhances energy efficiency and supports India’s goal of creating a more sustainable and resilient energy future.

How is Delta Electronics India effectively addressing renewable integration, scalability, and cybersecurity challenges?

The renewable energy sector will encounter ongoing technological challenges that may grow even more significantly. One critical issue is integrating intermittent energy sources like solar and wind into existing grid systems without compromising their stability and reliability. Advanced energy storage solutions, including next-generation batteries, will be pivotal in addressing this challenge. Another pressing concern is the scalability of renewable technologies to meet the rising global energy demand, which will require continuous innovation in materials, design, and efficiency. The increasing digitisation of energy infrastructure has brought cybersecurity for smart grids and energy management systems to the forefront as a significant and growing concern. Delta Electronics India is dedicated to tackling these challenges head-on through sustained innovation in power electronics, energy storage, and grid management technologies. By harnessing the power of AI and IoT, we are developing predictive analytics and intelligent solutions that enable a smooth transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

How can governments ensure that bureaucratic delays and regulatory challenges do not hinder renewable energy projects?

Governments have been pivotal in accelerating renewable energy adoption through forward-thinking policies and initiatives. By addressing regulatory challenges, the government has enhanced the momentum in this critical sector. The government has significantly reduced project timelines by simplifying approval processes with single-window clearances and standardised regulations.

Policies that incentivise renewable energy investments, such as tax benefits, subsidies, and performance-linked incentives, are driving greater private sector participation and fostering innovation. Promoting public-private partnerships is another notable effort that optimises resources and accelerates technological advancements.

Clear and transparent regulatory frameworks, coupled with digital platforms for approvals and monitoring, are creating a more efficient and accountable system. Collaborative platforms where policymakers, industry leaders, and stakeholders can exchange ideas and resolve challenges in real time are also highly commendable.

However, it is equally important that these positive measures are implemented effectively on the ground, ensuring tangible outcomes that benefit the renewable energy ecosystem. By fostering a supportive and action-oriented regulatory environment, governments can ensure that renewable energy projects contribute meaningfully to achieving national and global sustainability goals.

What challenges can be expected in the supply chain for renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries?

The renewable energy supply chain must address several challenges that may reshape the sector’s growth trajectory. A major concern is the reliance on critical raw materials such as rare earth elements and lithium, which are concentrated in very few regions, making the supply chain vulnerable to geopolitical and logistical disruptions. Additionally, rising logistics costs and fluctuating commodity prices for components used to build renewable energy products, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries, further complicate delivery.

Localised manufacturing of key components like solar panels will reduce dependence on imports. However, as efforts to scale production progress, challenges related to maintaining global quality standards are expected. Encouragingly, India’s manufacturing industry is poised to grow as one of the fastest-developing sectors in the local economy. With initiatives like ‘Make in India,’ the government promotes local manufacturing by offering various incentives to domestic manufacturers. Various states also compete to attract new manufacturing units by providing various benefits.

This approach extends beyond mere exportation, focusing instead on local production and expansion, as India’s consumption rate has increased significantly over the past decade. The government must continue supporting sustainable local production while scaling up and ensuring optimal quality.

What are your expectations from this year’s Budget?

Delta Electronics India anticipates that this year’s Budget will focus on creating a robust ecosystem for renewable energy and sustainable technologies. Key expectations include enhanced incentives for renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind power, and significant allocations for developing energy storage solutions, which are crucial for grid stability. We also hope to see greater emphasis on the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, with incentives for EV manufacturers and subsidies for charging infrastructure deployment. Tax benefits and policy support for green manufacturing and localised production of renewable energy components would further bolster the industry. Simplifying regulations and promoting public-private partnerships are vital to accelerating the sector’s growth. Such measures will support India’s ambitious renewable energy targets and align with global sustainability goals.

What are your plans for ELECRAMA 2025?
