India to add 10 GW renewable energy capacity in 2022
India is estimated to add about 10 gigawatt (GW) of total renewable energy capacity in 2022, down 10 per cent year-on-year, according to clean energy consultancy firm Bridge to India.
“Capacity addition prospects would depend greatly on the timeline for clarity on transmission lines in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Many projects have already got force majeure relief on account of module supply disruption,” it said.
The consultancy’s early estimates for total capacity addition in 2021 is 11.2 GW, split between utility-scale solar with 7.8 GW, rooftop solar with 1.8 GW, and wind with 1.6 GW, 30 per cent below their projection for the year.
