Karnataka Plans to Expand Power Capacity to 66 GW by 2030 with Clean Energy Focus
Karnataka plans to increase its installed power capacity from over 39 GW to 66 GW by 2030, focusing primarily on clean energy sources like hydro, solar, and wind. The state expects electricity demand to double due to industrial growth, electric vehicle adoption, and data center development. To meet this demand, Karnataka is implementing a Resource Adequacy Plan, investing in grid infrastructure, energy storage projects such as the Sharavathi Pumped Storage, and expanding renewable initiatives like the Pavagada Solar Park, aiming to attract significant private investment.
