Only decentralised renewable energy can help achieve 2030 targets: Experts
India may have taken great strides in utility scale deployment of renewable energy (RE), but the 2030 targets — as promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the climate summit last year — can be achieved only by increased de-centralised installation of RE, experts have warned.
At the annual climate change negotiations platform at Glasgow in November 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that India will have installed capacity of 500 GW of non-fossil energy and meet 50 per cent of its requirements through renewable energy. Modi also announced that India will achieve Net Zero in 2070.
