India curbs solar power output to keep grid stable amid low demand, ministry says

SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI: India is curbing solar output during periods of low demand to keep its power grid stable and to ease congestion in power lines as green energy supply rises, its Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) told Reuters. Congestion in power lines due to some new plants coming into operation ahead of schedule and delayed transmission projects have also forced power output curbs, also known as curtailment, the MNRE said in an emailed response to questions late on Monday. The curtailments are the latest setback to India's renewable power developers, who are increasingly languishing without supply contracts as demand for power slows. The National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI) said in a July 24 letter to the ministry that solar power producers in Rajasthan, the top green power producing state, were facing prolonged and frequent curtailments, which had risen to 48% of output during peak generation hours. The producers have lost more than $26 million in revenue since April due to the curbs, NSEFI said in the letter reviewed by Reuters. NSEFI, whose members include the green energy arms of Indian conglomerates Adani and Tata, Amazon Web Services, Dutch investment firm SHV and Malaysia's Gentari, said curtailments undermined project viability and future investments. "Projects in the state had been deferred by 18-20 months to accommodate for the delays in the transmission system, but are still unable to be commissioned due to even further delays," NSEFI said. NSEFI has asked the government to accelerate transmission and battery storage projects, some of which face up to two years of delay. The federal power ministry has said it is fast-tracking interstate transmission lines to support renewable energy. BEYOND RAJASTHAN While Rajasthan is the worst affected by curtailments, other major green energy producers such as the southern Tamil Nadu state, and Gujarat and Maharashtra in the west are also curbing output, according to four industry officials and analysts. Data compiled by Tamil Nadu's Renewable Energy Producers Association showed solar output was 10% lower than forecast in the quarter ended June. J Radhakrishnan, a spokesman for the Tamil Nadu energy department said solar was being curbed as a "last resort" measure, and that coal power was also being curtailed amid low demand. India's renewable energy generation, mainly solar, rose at a record pace in the six months ended June as previously awarded projects came online, while overall power generation growth was largely flat compared with an increase of nearly 6% in 2024. However, solar projects awarded in the three months ended June fell 75% annually and tenders for new projects declined 65%, according to clean energy consultancy Mercom. The decline reflects a "temporary recalibration rather than a slowdown," MNRE said, adding that bids were being issued in line with national targets and demand. Government data shows the usage rate of solar capacity fell to 21.4% in May and 19.5% in June. The MNRE said some of it was due to lower irradiance, adding it expected capacity utilisation of 21%–25% range from February to June in the future.

Asia shares flat, oil falls before Fed gathering; European futures up on Ukraine hopes

TOKYO: Stocks in Asia were flat and oil slid on Tuesday before a key meeting of central bankers and as traders evaluated promising diplomatic signals toward ending hostilities between Russia and Ukraine. European equity futures posted modest gains after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said security guarantees for his nation will likely be worked out within 10 days after talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders. Japan's Nikkei share gauge set a new intraday record high before heading lower. The U.S. dollar held on to gains from the previous session as traders awaited policy hints from the Federal Reserve ahead of its annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. "The Jackson Hole Symposium looms as one potential source of volatility, and going into the event, the markets remain cautious," Kyle Rodda, an analyst at wrote in a note to clients. "A dovish shift is being priced in, with further strength in equity markets – and weakness in the U.S. dollar – reliant on the Fed meeting these expectations." MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slid 0.1% after U.S. stocks ended the previous session with mild losses. Pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures were up 0.2%, while contracts for the German DAX and FTSE both crept up 0.1%. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told Fox News on Monday that Trump's meeting with Zelenskiy and other European and NATO partners was very successful. The meeting followed a summit in Alaska between the U.S. president and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which did not result in an agreement on ceasing hostilities in the 3-1/2-year-old war. In a social media post late on Monday, Trump said he had called Putin and begun arranging a meeting between Putin and Zelenskiy, to be followed by a trilateral summit among the three presidents. While traders are keeping an eye on geopolitical developments, another key focus for the week is the Fed's August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework. Money markets reflect an 83.6% chance of a quarter-point rate cut at the Fed's meeting on September 17, according to CME FedWatch. "Central banks seem to be easing even though inflation is creeping a little bit high in many countries," Tapas Strickland, head of market economics at National Australia Bank, said in a podcast. Bond investors may be "demanding a little bit more compensation for duration, just given the potential for the inflationary risk out there." Japan's Nikkei stock index rose at the open before sliding 0.1%, dragged lower by a 2.5% plunge in SoftBank Group after the company announced a $2 billion stake in struggling U.S. chipmaker Intel. The dollar slid 0.1% to 147.78 yen. The euro was steady at $1.1663, while the dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of currencies, was little changed after a 0.2% gain in the previous session. Oil slipped as market participants contemplated a potential end to the war in Ukraine, which could lead to an end to sanctions on Russian crude. U.S. crude sank 0.8% to $62.92 a barrel. Brent crude fell 0.7% to $66.15. Spot gold rose 0.2% to $3,337.41 per ounce. Bitcoin slid 1% to $115,257.59, while ether dropped $2.7% to $4,224.33.

Dollar firms as markets digest Ukraine summit

SINGAPORE: The U.S. dollar made tepid gains against its major peers on Tuesday as global markets assessed the outcome of a White House summit with European nations that could determine the next phase of the war in Ukraine. The dollar index rose 0.1% to 98.192 after U.S. President Donald Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end the war with Russia. "At the moment, markets are cautious," said Tina Teng, an independent market analyst in Auckland, as traders weighed the possible implications for global energy markets. "The U.S. dollar is going stronger against other currencies and the risk-on sentiment is still leading markets at the moment," she added, citing stock indexes at record highs. Markets are also looking this week to the Federal Reserve's annual symposium in Jackson Hole for any clues on the likely path of interest rates. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework. Many investors are away for summer holidays in the northern hemisphere, while markets will be left with few catalysts amid a thin diary of data releases on Tuesday. The euro held steady at $1.1656, down 0.04% so far in Asia, shuffling along the midpoint of the trading range it has sat in for the past two weeks. "The dollar is the safe haven of choice when geopolitical risks are increasing," said Bart Wakabayashi, Tokyo branch manager at State Street. If a Ukraine deal is reached that involves European countries taking up the burden, a relief rally could result in outflows from the euro and the British pound, he added. "You would suspect that would flow into the dollar, so we could see dollar strength." Cryptocurrencies were an exception to the sleepy mood in markets, with bitcoin falling 1.3% to notch a third straight day of declines after hitting a record high on Thursday. Ether slumped 2.9%, extending losses for a second day after failing to breach a similar threshold last week. Against the yen, the dollar was 0.1% weaker at 147.770 yen and showing little sign of willingness to exit the trading channel it has sat in all month, after an auction of long-dated Japanese government bonds received weaker demand than seen in July. The yield on the 20-year securities rose 1.5 basis point to 2.59% after the debt sale. Japanese stock markets lost momentum on Tuesday, with the Nikkei 225 edging back from record highs seen earlier in the trading session and the Topix clinging to its early gains. The Australian dollar fetched $0.6489, easing off gains after Westpac's consumer sentiment data for August rose to a 3-1/2-year high. The Hong Kong dollar, which the city's de facto central bank allows to trade in a tight range of between 7.75 and 7.85 against the greenback, was one of the biggest movers, trading 0.3% stronger at 7.7944 to its U.S. counterpart as interbank rates surged to a three-month high. The kiwi pared earlier gains and was last flat at $0.59245 . Sterling also gave up on earlier signs of life, last trading at $1.3501, slumping back towards the low end of its range recorded over the past week.
