Union New & Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi on Wednesday said India has over 272 GW non-fossil fuel-based electricity generation capacity, including 141 solar and 55 GW wind energy, at the launch of ‘India-UK Offshore Wind Taskforce’.
This assumes significance in view of India’s ambitious target of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030 and net-zero emission target by 2070.
UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron were present on the occasion.
Addressing the official launch of the India-UK Offshore Wind Taskforce, Joshi said in the ongoing financial year, India added more than 35 GW of solar and 4.61 GW of wind capacity.
Also, he said last year India achieved 50 per cent of its cumulative installed power capacity from non-fossil sources, five years ahead of our Nationally Determined Contribution commitment.
