India’s Electricity sector transformation: momentum is building; peak coal in sight [1]

This report examines the rapid electricity market transformation now taking place in India, showing how renewable energy and energy efficiency measures can help the country, soon to be the world’s most populous, avoid the mistakes China made in its dash for coalfired electric generation growth in the first years of this century, but also leverage the learnings from China’s huge investment in renewables and grid capacity expansion.
