India has 150 GW of known renewable energy potential, of which only about 14% has been developed. Renewable energy is considered to be an important part of the solution to India’s energy shortage. The country’s renewable energy potential is likely to be even greater than 150 GW, as sources with significant generation capacity have not yet been mapped. Developing renewable energy can help India increase its energy security, reduce the adverse impacts on the local environment, lower its carbon intensity, contribute to a more balanced regional development, and realize its aspirations for leadership in high-technology industries.
