Provides a round-up of the renewable energy scenario in a specific state in India
Goa is the smallest state in India, which thrives on its tourism industry. The state’s sunny beaches and pleasant weather attract tourists to throng the place, which also results in a rise in power demand […]
Haryana is a small agrarian state in India with abundant sunlight and ample biomass availability, although it has limited land for renewable energy development. So far, the state has primarily depended on fossil fuels to […]
Karnataka has been one of the front-running states in harnessing renewable energy in India. As of February 2021, it had the highest installed renewable energy capacity across all states, a position it has maintained over […]
The renewable energy sector in the hilly state of Himachal Pradesh is on a growth trajectory and it is primarily being driven by solar and hydropower resources. The total installed power generation capacity in the […]
The power capital of the country, Delhi is spread across a small area of just about 1,484 square km. A large part of this area is urban and densely populated, has a massive energy demand […]
As one of the leading industrialised states of India with thriving metropolitan cites, Maharashtra has always had a high demand for power. The growing concern over emissions from these industries and cities, and the consequent […]
Formed in the year 2000, the small hilly state of Uttarakhand has a significant potential for renewable energy generation, especially through hydropower. It has multiple micro-climatic zones such as “cold and sunny” and “cold and […]
The small hilly state of Uttarakhand was formed in the year 2000, and the premise was that its abundant hydropower and tourism potential would make the state profitable. Nearly two decades later, it is safe […]
Kerala has been making slow but steady progress in the renewable energy space. Currently, renewable energy makes up only 7.6 per cent of the total installed power generation capacity. As of September 2019, the total […]
The geography of the Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands prevents the setting up of a single power grid. Moreover, unlike other states and UTs, these islands are not connected to the national power grid. […]
Telangana has undergone a transformative journey from being a power-deficit state formed only six years ago to becoming one of the leading states in solar power development. The state has built a unique model of […]
Owing to its high solar and wind power potential, Rajasthan was an early mover in the renewable energy space, attracting large developers with its large solar parks. At 9,667 MW, renewable energy makes up about 38 […]
In India, renewable energy resources are not equally distributed across the country. The country’s wind power potential is confined to only seven states, while solar power, though available throughout the country, has the best potential […]
Gujarat’s total renewable capacity crossed the 10,000 MW mark in 2020, making it the third state after Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to have more than 10 GW of installed capacity. It added the highest capacity […]
After its bifurcation, Andhra Pradesh has made considerable progress in reducing its peak energy deficit. In 2018-19, the state reported a deficit of a mere 0.1 per cent, with an energy demand of 63,861 MUs […]
Odisha expects to generate 29,972 MUs during 2019-20 as against its projected power demand for 34,174 MUs. As a result, the state will have an estimated power deficit of 12.3 per cent. During the period 2018-19, […]
Karnataka expects to generate 86,464 MUs during 2019-20 as against its projected power demand for only 78,751 MUs. As a result, the state will have a power surplus of 9.8 per cent. The state had […]
For the period 2019-20, Maharashtra has the highest projected power demand across all states in India, estimated at about 153,540 MUs. It has been working towards improving its energy deficit and has managed to bring […]
Located in northern India, the small union territory (UT) of Chandigarh is also the capital of two states, Punjab and Haryana. The UT does not have any conventional power generation capacity of its own. Thus, […]
