Renewable Energy-India’s Commendable Commitment


Renewable Energy is a burning  topic across the globe in view of the impending perils due to climate change ! A commendable report on the commitment to climate change by the Indian government !
India has ambitiously achieved renewable energy of about 83GW out of 175 GW target set for 2015-22 and has set itself an ambitious target of 275 GW by 2027.But going at same pace, an interim target of 225 GW can be set and met by 2024 ! As on October 2019, 83 GW of renewable energy has been made operational out of which, about 32 GW is from solar, 37.GW from wind, 10 GW from bio-power and 5 GW from hydro power.As of 31 March 2020, about 36% of India's installed electricity generation capacity is from renewable sources, generating  about 21% of total utility electricity in the country.

Countries like Brazil attaining ~80% of renewable energy in the total mix and countries like Saudi with only 0-5% , indicates that there is an urgent need to accelerate the mechanisms needed to sustains the life on earth, which is the main objective of the Paris Climate Agreement 

Needless to say that the early industrialised and developed economies have a greater role and responsibility in taking the lead to attain the globally set targets, and should help funding and focusing on mobilising the men, material, mechanisms and machinery needed ! Let us not forget that it is a global problem and needs a Herculean global effort to preserve the planet.
***Else, mankind may have to think of leaving the planet much before than that predicted by Stephen Hawking !
