India's renewable energy capacity reaches 300 GW, five years ahead of schedule.
India's installed renewable energy capacity has reached 300 gigawatts, which is over half of its total power generation capacity. This national achievement was met five years ahead of its target date. However, grid constraints cause significant renewable energy waste and coal still provides about 70% of the country's electricity on average.
Why it matters
In a country heavily reliant on coal, this shows the large-scale construction of infrastructure needed to transition toward cleaner energy.
