India Advances Renewable Energy Amid Transmission and Rooftop Solar Challenges
India has rapidly expanded its renewable energy capacity, reaching over 300 GW of non-fossil electricity, with solar power growing from 2.8 GW in 2014 to around 165 GW by 2026. While utility-scale solar projects have driven much of this growth, challenges remain in transmission infrastructure, land access, and enforcement of rooftop solar mandates, particularly in states like Haryana. Government initiatives, including subsidies and mandates, aim to boost rooftop solar adoption, but coordination between central and state governments is crucial to meet the 2030 renewable energy targets.
