A recent report by the India Energy and Climate Centre (IECC) highlights the rapid growth in India's energy consumption, which is expected to triple or quadruple in the coming years due to industrialization, urbanization, and rising incomes. The report predicts that India will lead in global energy demand growth between 2020-2040. Despite lagging in energy infrastructure investments compared to other industrialized nations, India plans to bridge this gap in the next 2-3 decades. The country's per capita electricity consumption is below the global average, but total electricity demand is on a steep rise, projected to double by 2030. The report also foresees a significant increase in electricity demand for cooling appliances due to global warming and increased pay-out capacity. India has been making strides in renewable energy, with over 130 GW of renewable capacity already installed. Prime Minister Modi's commitment at COP-26 to deploy 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power generation capacity by 2030 showcases the country's dedication to clean energy. Investments in renewables have been outpacing fossil fuels, and there's a focus on enhancing energy efficiency to reduce additional load during peak hours. While coal still dominates electricity generation in India, the cost competitiveness of renewables and advancements in clean energy technologies are reshaping the energy landscape. The decreasing costs of solar, storage, and other technologies are making them more attractive, with reports indicating that renewable energy projects could soon be more economical than existing coal capacities. Large-scale power and storage auctions have exhibited the cost-effectiveness of energy storage solutions in India. The collaboration between the IECC, government stakeholders, and regulatory bodies underscores the collective effort in driving sustainable energy practices in India. With a focus on clean energy, infrastructure development, and energy efficiency, India is poised to navigate the challenges and opportunities in its evolving energy sector.
