According to Ember's Indian countries' renewable energy targets and progress follow -up reports, last year, India's solar power generation increased significantly, and renewable energy occupied the leading position in the new power capacity of the country in 2022.
Ember's report pointed out that in India's clean energy, solar power generation has increased the largest in 2022. The new capacity in just one year reaches 13.9GW, which is higher than the entire solar installation capacity of 13.7GW in the UK.
Rajastan and Gujarat are the highest volume of solar deployment, with a new capacity of 8.6GW, which is higher than Turkey 7.8GW. The other states of India have only increased by 5.3GW, but the Chilean solar installation capacity of 4.5GW is still higher than 4.5GW.
According to data from the Ministry of New Energy and Renewable Energy (MNRE), as of November 30, 2022, the capacity of solar energy installation reached about 61.97GW.
The study also examined the new situation of renewable energy last year in India. In 2022, solar and wind power dominated Indian power growth, accounting for 92%of the total increase.
In terms of renewable energy capacity, Rajasthan is still the most important state in India. The new wind and solar energy capacity of Rajast Tanzan is 6.7GW. At the same time, both Rajastan and Gujarat will become the center of solar energy and wind energy capacity, accounting for one -third of the total capacity target of 450GW renewable energy in MNRE2021.
In the end, Ember added that Rajast Tanbang has planned to reach a renewable energy capacity of 90GW in 2030, which means that in the next eight years, the state needs to increase the capacity of 8.6GW each year. The renewable capacity target of Gujerate will reach 61GW, which is equivalent to an increase of 5.4GW each year.
In recent years, India's solar capacity has been increasing. According to data from JMK Research & Analytics, from January-September 2021, India's photovoltaic installation was about 8.81GW, an increase of 280%over the same period of 2020.
