New Delhi: india is now the sector's third-largest producer of wind and solar strength, surpassing Germany, Union minister for Brand New and Renewable Energy pralhad joshi said on Friday, adding that the USA's solar electricity mounted potential reached 107.95 trillion this year, from 82.64 trillion last year, which is a 30.7 percent
With 10 percent of the worldwide proportion, India's clean energy capacity keeps growing appreciably under the guidance of prime minister Narendra Modi. The minister posted on the X social media platform, adding that it is "a step in the direction of a sustainable future."
Also, the established ability of wind strength stood at 51.06 th, from 46.16 n april 2024—0.6 percent boom.
"Total renewable electricity (non-fossil gas) has reached 231.81 GW of hooked-up potential in april, from 199.86 GW in april 2024, which is a sixteen percent annual increase," the Union minister said knowledgeably.
India is at the vanguard of world power transition, and solar electricity by myself has grown over 30 instances within the closing decade because the U.S. has done renewable power goals of 2030 eight years ahead of schedule.
The U.S. finished its 2030 renewable power goal of 200 GW in 2022 itself—8 years head schedule.
Lastly, Joshi inaugurated the PV Module Testing Calibration Lab at the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) at Gwal Pahari in Haryana, on the outskirts of the national capital.
He termed the lab a pioneering facility for india and, in addition, highlighted that as indian businesses scale up the manufacturing of large modules, this lab will make sure that products meet the best satisfactory requirements.
In terms of manufacturing, solar module manufacturing has accelerated from 2 GW in 2014 to 80 GW, with a goal of achieving 150 GW by 2030. Along with solar progress, the minister additionally underscored the success of 50 GW in wind power capacity.
Emphasizing the government's ambitious objectives, Joshi said that india is firmly on target to achieve the 500 GW non-fossil gas energy target by 2030, together with 292 GW of solar power, as estimated by the prime minister.
