India’s Energy Mix to Have 40% Renewable Sources by 2030
The Renewable energy holds a share of 12% in the current energy mix of India. As a part of its contribution under the Paris Climate Change Agreement, India sets target of achieving at least 40% of India’s total power capacity from renewable sources by 2030.
If the National Democratic Alliance approves the proposal then India would be looking to building a total of 350 GW of solar and wind power by 2030. This ambitious target will help India offer a 35% reduction in the greenhouse gas emission intensity of its economy below 2005 levels by 2030.
