UP lagging behind other states in delivering renewable energy targets: Report
Uttar Pradesh has fallen behind other power-intensive states in terms of delivering on renewable capacity targets and it needs to take urgent action to get back on track and avoid slowing down India’s decarbonisation journey, says a report.
A joint report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and energy think tank Ember also highlighted that the state is lagging behind in its 2022 solar capacity target of 10.7GW as compared to its peers.
Urgent action is needed to get back on track, not only for the state to meet its own targets but also to avoid slowing overall progress towards India’s targets of 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity by 2022 and 500GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, the report cautioned.
