SWTCH Energy Launches Cortex to Boost EV Charging in Multifamily and Commercial Spaces
SWTCH Energy has launched Cortex, a smart EV charging platform tailored for multifamily and commercial properties. Cortex uses cloud-based intelligence and on-site microcomputing to ensure reliable charging even during internet outages. It maximizes existing electrical infrastructure, avoiding costly upgrades, and integrates with building systems to optimize energy use. With wireless networking, it cuts installation costs by up to 70 percent. Cortex is UL certified, emphasizing safety and performance. This innovation enables scalable, efficient EV charging in dense urban environments without major infrastructure changes.
BPCL and GPS Renewables Form JV to Build Compressed Biogas Plants Across India
BPCL and GPS Renewables have formed a joint venture to set up 8–10 compressed biogas (CBG) plants across India. The initiative aims to convert agricultural and organic waste into CBG, helping reduce stubble burning and greenhouse gas emissions. Targeted states include Bihar, Odisha, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal, chosen for their rich biomass potential and proximity to BPCL’s gas distribution networks. The venture supports India’s SATAT and GOBARdhan schemes, promoting renewable energy, waste-to-energy solutions, and rural development, while contributing to BPCL’s decarbonization goals and the country’s sustainable energy future.
Adani Green Signs 1,250 MW Pumped Hydro Storage Deal with Uttar Pradesh Utility
Adani Green Energy (AGEL) has secured a 1,250 MW pumped hydro storage agreement with Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation (UPPCL). The deal, finalized on April 23, 2025, involves supplying energy storage through pumped hydro projects. This agreement follows AGEL’s recent 400 MW solar power contract with UPPCL and strengthens its role in India’s renewable energy sector. By diversifying into energy storage, AGEL aims to support grid stability and enhance renewable energy integration. This initiative is part of AGEL’s strategy to align with India’s clean energy transition and meet growing energy demands.
