The government has said that India has turned into a power surplus nation with a total installed electricity capacity of over four lakh Mega Watt.
Keeping in mind the sustainable development goals, India’s power generation mix is rapidly shifting towards a more significant share of renewable energy.
Today, India is the world’s third largest producer of renewable energy, with 40 per cent of its installed electricity capacity coming from non-fossil fuel sources.
Power Generation from Renewable Energy Sources has increased from 51 thousand 226 Gigawatt hours to one lakh 38 thousand 337 Gigawatt hours in 2020.
Solar energy-based applications have benefited millions of Indians by meeting their cooking, lighting, and other energy needs in an environment-friendly manner.
Having achieved large-scale success in solar energy solutions, India has spearheaded the International Solar Alliance, ISA which is an action-oriented, member-driven, collaborative platform for increased deployment of solar energy technologies.
