This Week In Energy Transition - India's Renewable Energy Surge Powers National Growth

India's energy landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, with a substantial increase in renewable energy capacity as a pivotal element. By 2030, India aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity, which is projected to grow further to between 750-1000 GW by 2035. This growth is largely driven by the integration of renewable sources, such as wind and solar, supported by advanced energy storage systems and modernized grid infrastructure. Alongside this, substantial developments in smart grid technologies and inter-regional connectivity are highlighted as essential to meet the growing electricity demand, forecasted to hit 277 GW by 2027. This evolving ecosystem is presenting new investment opportunities in grid infrastructure, real-time monitoring solutions, and energy storage, marking India's significant advancement in the global clean energy transition.
