Union Power Minister R K Singh said on Tuesday said renewables will account for 65 per cent of the country’s energy mix by 2030. India has 186 GW non-fossil fuel-based installed power generation capacity at present, the Union Minister of Power, New and Renewable Energy said.
“In 2015, we planned to have 40 per cent renewables in our energy mix by 2030. We achieved the target in 2021, nine years earlier,” he said, adding that the share of renewable energy in the total installed power generation capacity will be 65 per cent by 2030.
Speaking at an event for the release of a book authored by ReNew Power Chairman Sumant Sinha, the minister said the speed of capacity addition of renewable energy is mind boggling.
