India's solar power capacity accumulated 30 gw breakthrough

According to preliminary figures Mercom India's solar project tracking system, India's solar capacity has reached 30 gigawatts.

solar electricity proportion from 2018 on March 6. 6% to 2019 on March 8. 4%. In renewable energy, solar energy accounts for about 38% of capacity, up 2% over the previous quarter.

India's renewable energy capacity continues to increase, accounting for 2018 - 19 years at the end of the fiscal year ( FY) The proportion of the total installed capacity of about 22. 3%. This 20 than last fiscal year. A 3% increase. The significant growth can be attributed to the growth of solar power capacity.

by the end of March 2019, the total installed capacity of 358 gigawatts of India, renewable energy accounts for 80 gigawatts, accounting for 21%. This is more than 2017 - 18 year increased by 1. 1%, the renewable energy device for 70 gigawatts.

as of March 2019, wind power accounted for more than a total installed capacity of 35 gw, accounting for nearly 10% of the total power capacity of the combination. However, the new wind power installed capacity in 2018 - 19 year declined, increased about 1. 5 gw of capacity, and increased by 1 for the last fiscal year. 7GW。 Growth can be attributed to a variety of challenges in the process of bidding, including cancellation of incentives, etc.

in the total installed capacity, the total installed capacity of large hydropower projects to 45. 3 gw, equivalent to 2018 - 19 at the end of the fiscal year 12. 66%. Large hydropower has been ministry as a renewable energy, to achieve the goal of climate treaty of Paris, by 2030, renewable energy will produce 40% of electricity in India.

nuclear power at the end of March 2019 remain unchanged, as a share of the total installed capacity of 2018 - 19 year no new nuclear power installed capacity.

2018 - small hydropower project 19 year new capacity of 107 megawatts, year-on-year growth of 2. 4%. The aggregation of small hydropower installed capacity of 4. 6 gw, accounts for the end of March 2019 with a total installed capacity of 1. 28%.

coal continues to be the country's main resource to generate electricity, the total capacity of 226 gw, for a total installed capacity of 63. 24%. India still rely on coal to meet the requirements of the most basic load.

although India solar capacity has accumulated through 30 gw, however, the distance from India is set to the end of March 2022 to achieve the goal of 100 gw and a long distance, 70 gw in the next three years to complete the installation of solar energy is a difficult task.
