Renewable Energy, Solar Energy, Environment, Climate ChangeAbstract
In India, the main goals of the use of renewable energy are to reduce climate change, enhance economic development, and enhance energy security and its accessibility. Utilizing sustainable energy and ensuring that all residents have access to modern, affordable, dependable, and sustainable energy are necessary for sustainable development. India's renewable energy sector has grown tremendously in recent years, due to strong government support and a favourable economic climate. The country has set ambitious targets to increase its renewable energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030. Over a third of India's installed capacity and more than 40% of the country's power generation, including large-scale hydropower, are currently derived from renewable energy sources. People now have better access to electricity as a result of the creation of a unified national power system, and the growth of renewable energy has been crucial to this. However, there are still challenges that need to be addressed, such as the standardization of guidelines, development of stable grid and transmission networks, and steep fluctuations in solar project tariffs. This paper aims to study comprehensive information on the achievements, prospects, projections, and challenges of renewable energy in India.
