India's Renewable Energy Growth Supports Rising Electricity Demand from Data Centres
India's growing renewable energy capacity positions it to support the rising electricity demand from data centres, which may initially require over 20 gigawatts. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy highlights the country's rapid expansion of green energy as a key enabler. Meanwhile, a report from S&P Global projects electricity demand to outpace overall energy demand by 2035, driven by data centres and green hydrogen production, with consumption expected to increase nearly ninefold to around 240 terawatt-hours. This growth will challenge power infrastructure and increase the role of distributed generation.
