Entering “New Paradigm” – The International Regime Shaping the Trend of Industry

In 2022, the renewable energy market in India continued its robust growth, with the installed capacity of renewable energy reaching close to 15 gigawatts. The solar energy sector emerged as the primary driving force, with its annual newly installed capacity hitting a historical high. Supported by favorable government policies, substantial project reserves, and a low-cost structure, solar energy has become the preferred technology for India’s green energy transformation.

By 2030, India plans to install 500 gigawatts of renewable energy facilities, with the government expected to invest $34 billion in this endeavor. As part of this plan, solar energy capacity is set to increase from 63 gigawatts in 2022 to 280 gigawatts, while wind energy will rise from 42 gigawatts to 140 gigawatts. Additionally, the plan aims to achieve a battery storage capacity of 51.5 gigawatts by 2030. In 2022, India’s grid-connected wind power capacity was only 1.9 gigawatts.
