India has an ambitious target of increasing its renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by 2022 and 500 GW by 2030 as part of its nationally determined contribution (NDC) in the global combat against climate change, but a new research on Thursday indicates that climate change is expected to impact future renewable energy production.
It therefore, suggested that the investors in this sector should understand and consider possible changes due to it.
The research, published online on Thursday, is to feature in the June 10 issue of prestigious journal ‘Current Science’.
Renewable energy includes hydroelectric power, wind energy and solar energy as its major constituents. India’s renewable energy generation supported 23 per cent of energy production in 2019, which is expected to increase up to 40 per cent in 2030.
