Energy insightsBangladesh's Godda Reconnection: One Unit Is Not a Grid
A dated Godda reconnection report shows why power coverage needs timestamps, output evidence, and a line between one unit and a whole grid.

South Asia renewable energy
South Asia renewable energy coverage — regional solar and wind build-out, manufacturing, cross-border power trade and the market signals that shape the sub-continent’s transition.
South Asia holds a large share of the world’s new renewable capacity additions and an even larger share of its future demand growth. Arcnex Energy covers the regional picture that gives Pakistan-focused reporting its context.
Coverage includes India’s solar and wind auctions, domestic module and cell manufacturing capacity, Bangladesh’s import and generation mix, Sri Lanka’s post-crisis power planning, Nepal and Bhutan hydropower exports, and the cross-border electricity trade arrangements linking these markets.
We follow the supply chain closely, because module, cell and battery pricing set in the region determines what a project costs everywhere else we report on.

South Asia energy questions
Common questions about south asia renewable energy.
Which South Asian country has the most renewable capacity?
India has by far the largest installed renewable capacity in South Asia across solar, wind and hydropower, and hosts most of the region’s solar module and cell manufacturing.
Why does South Asian supply chain news matter to other markets?
Module, cell and battery pricing set by South Asian manufacturing capacity feeds directly into project costs in the Middle East and beyond, so supply chain shifts in the region move tariffs in markets far from it.
