as informed in Tamil Nadu, which gets 14% of its energy needs from renewables, is the only Asian market on the list. How Tamil Nadu swung itThe availability of rich wind and solar energy resources, a wide gap between power demand and supply, and robust government policies helped Tamil Nadu take the lead. Tamil Nadu has begun forecasting the flow so that the grid is ready to handle things. "Renewable energy assets in Tamil Nadu are facing significant backdown (as state power utilities are buying little power from these plants). This adversely impacts their feasibility," Kanika Chawla, a renewable energy expert at Delhi-based nonprofit Council on Energy, Environment, and Water, said.

Regional cooperation and integrated energy markets at risk
A much more interconnected European energy market, ensuring regional cooperation and cutting out waste, makes so much sense for consumers, for security of supply and for decarbonisation. Philip Baker and Christos Kolokathis urge MEPs and member states to make it happen. When the European Commission first outlined its vision for a genuine Energy Union nearly three years ago, Vice-President for the Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič, painted in primary colours: "Building a single energy market will allow energy to flow freely across EU countries as a fifth European freedom. They have a chance to support key aspects of the Commission's proposals to deliver the Energy Union. And yet ACER figures show us that half of the Member States surveyed did not take any account of resource contribution from neighbouring systems.Analysis: The Top 8 unknowns in 2018's energy markets
As it stated in For pundits like me, it's customary to make a listicle about the year to come – the usual predictions about things like OPEC, energy consumption, commodity prices and electric vehicle sales in China. So instead of predicting outcomes, I've decided to list the top eight unknowns in energy markets for 2018:Collateral disruption: Bringing on energy projects needs a lot of investment. World oil consumption will be breaching 100 million barrels-a-day in 2018, at a time when the Middle East's cold war is ratcheting up. The biggest unknown to energy markets is what the world governing bodies will do after waking up to this realization. Global energy consumption will keep rising.Why Telstra could make $20 billion play in Australia energy markets
Will Australia's telecommunications giant Telstra finally make good on a plan to challenge Australia's incumbent energy utilities and launch a major charge into the energy market? "We think the energy idea could have merit for (Telstra) too … potentially on a much larger scale," the Morgan Stanley analysts write. So, to fill in its post-NBN gap in core earnings of around $1 billion to $2 billion, Telstra may have to spend capital of up $10-20 billion. Morgan Stanley admits that its interest was piqued by the series of smaller-scale announcements already undertaken by Telstra. And energy retailing is a 2.5 times bigger market in Australia than the telco market – notwithstanding its regulatory and policy risks and uncertainties.
