With #CERC proposing a further narrowing of the DSM tolerance bands, project developers expect to see revenue losses as high as 65% for #wind and #solar projects. The rise in project costs are likely to be passed on as higher RE tariffs. My deep dive for @MercomIndia
The recent proposal by CERC to tighten deviation limits for the scheduling and dispatch of power has raised concerns about higher project costs for #renewableenergy developers and potential increases in consumer tariffs. mercomindia.com/deviation-se…

I am starting a resistance movement against intellectual decay. An offline experiment in Bangalore - Indiranagar, Koramangala, HSR. No AI. No noise. Just very hard, intellectually stimulating problems being solved the old school way. Every weekend, a few of us meet underground (read cafes & offices) to solve brutally hard problems - math, code, biotech, philosophy, rocket science; anything that hurts the brain a little. Not a startup. Not a class. A club for thinkers who want to develop an intellectual edge. The idea is simple: AI is making our lives easier, but our minds weaker. There was a time we wrote algorithms by hand. Debugged for days. Solved equations that obsessed us for weeks. That pain built mental muscle - but with AI its being degraded. As AI becomes smarter, intellectual inequality will increase, & being sharp without AI will be your advantage. If this speaks to you, drop me a dm/comment. Welcome to The Mind Club.

Bengaluru airport is in talks with traffic police to impose fines on vehicles parked over five minutes at Kempegowda Airport to ease congestion. However, both BIAL and traffic police maintain that the proposal is still under discussion. A similar attempt was earlier scrapped after public outrage @BLRAirport @blrcitytraffic

Many of the traffic junctions in #Bengaluru were dug for installing #VAC traffic signals,but after the installation of the new signals roads are not leveled,hence making them accident spots @BBMPCOMM @ICCCBengaluru @Jointcptraffic @anil_lulla @ChristinMP_ @Melvin_Mercom
