How wind power fell behind solar in India?
The answer to India’s renewable energy targets lies in the wind, literally. And India knew it way back in the 1980s, when it had started investing in wind power development. And this form of renewable energy enjoyed an edge over solar over the years.
For instance, in 2014, wind power’s installed capacity was about 21 GW, while solar’s installed capacity was just 2.6 megawatts. Wind power currently contributes 10.2% of total installed capacity and makes up for 37% of renewable energy mix.
