In the short run, China and India are showing no real intention of cutting coal dependence. Instead, both are building or proposing new coal-fired capacity, never mind their climate pledges.
Renewable Energy: FDRE is essential to steer the energy transition in the emerging era of energy resilience and sustainability. It is also vital for enhancing grid stability and unleashing the complete potential of renewable sources.
India aims to source 50% of electric power from non-fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions by 45% from 2005 levels by 2030. The 2023 National Electricity Plan by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) estimates the need for 486 GW of variable renewables (solar and wind) to achieve this target. Challenges posed by the high penetration of variable and intermittent renewable energy can be solved through firm and dispatchable renewable energy power, obtained by integrating energy storage systems.
