The recent report by the India Energy and Climate Centre highlights the rapid rise in India's energy consumption, driven by factors such as industrialization and urbanization. India is projected to be a major contributor to global energy demand in the upcoming years. Despite lagging behind in energy infrastructure investments compared to other economies, India is focusing on expanding its renewable energy capacity to meet the growing electricity demand. Prime Minister Modi's commitment to deploying 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power generation capacity by 2030 demonstrates the country's shift towards cleaner energy sources. The report emphasizes the significant growth in renewable capacity installations and the cost competitiveness of renewables, especially when compared to coal-based power plants. Energy storage solutions are also gaining traction in India, with projections indicating their cost-effectiveness in meeting peak demand. Furthermore, energy efficiency measures are highlighted as a crucial strategy to manage peak load hours effectively and optimize energy consumption. The collaborative effort of key stakeholders in preparing this report reflects a comprehensive approach towards addressing India's energy challenges and transitioning towards a more sustainable energy future.
