NRDC

Renewable Energy
Growth and Access

To support India’s renewable energy targets, robust policies, creative finance mechanisms, and clean energy access are all needed. NRDC India has expertise on how to best advance clean energy policies, in alignment with the government’s objectives. Alongside that, NRDC India also works with stakeholders to study the opportunity for jobs in the renewable energy sector, develop finance solutions and enhance village energy access – which in turn improves lives for poor communities and helps in fighting climate change.

India Will Cut its Emission Intensity
by 33-35% of 2005 levels by 2030

India’s Installed RE Capacity (in Gigawatts) – Past, Present, and Future

Following India’s bold renewable energy targets announced at the Glasgow climate conference, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, has released a policy framework for developing and advancing Decentralized Renewable Energy Livelihood Applications. Decentralized renewable energy is often produced closer to the point of consumption and built as small-scale projects benefitting rural communities that do not have reliable access to the electricity grid. Growth in decentralized renewables will lead to a robust diversified green electricity grid and is key to meeting India’s non-fossil fuel electricity generation target of 500GW by 2030.
