Serentica Renewables signs PPA with NTPC
Serentica Renewables has signed a Power Purchase Agreement with NTPC Limited to supply 200 MW of Firm Dispatchable Renewable Energy to Uttar Pradesh’s distribution companies. The project will use a mix of solar, wind, and battery storage across multiple states to ensure reliable renewable power during peak demand hours. This initiative aims to reduce dependence on thermal power and support a greener energy mix. Serentica’s advanced hybrid infrastructure and energy storage technologies address the intermittency of renewables, offering consistent, clean power to industries and contributing to India’s net-zero goals.
BP reveals oil discovery at Far South prospect in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico
bp has announced an oil discovery at the Far South prospect in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The exploration well, drilled in Green Canyon Block 584 about 120 miles off the Louisiana coast, reached a depth of 23,830 feet in 4,092 feet of water. Co-owned by bp (57.5 percent) and Chevron (42.5 percent), both the initial well and a sidetrack encountered oil in high-quality Miocene reservoirs. Preliminary data indicates potentially commercial volumes, supporting bp’s renewed focus on exploration and upstream investment under its 2025 strategy reset.
