Renewable Energy India - take a quick look

Along with the LED and Bijli bachao campaigns, another subject that keeps hinting at great potential - are the renewable sources of energy. Based on the data sourced from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI), lets take a quick look at the renewable energy scenario in India.

The projected capacity requirement of energy in India for the year 2030 is estimated at 7,55,719 MW (source: CSE). The present installed capacity as of 31.03.14 is 284,634 MW. If we look at the table below for Renewable Energy potential in India, it is clear that Solar Power on its own can meet this target. Wind and Solar Power being the high potential areas for our country for meeting our energy needs.
