We are currently at the precipice of irreversible climate change that can dismantle our way of life and make extinction level events a very probable threat! The average global temperature has increased by 1°C due to fossil fuel usage. It has caused terrible shifts in the weather and is affecting countries with warm climate. The decline in monsoon rainfall levels, floods, frequent droughts, significant fall in crop yield, damaged groundwater resources, falling water table, rising carbon dioxide levels, increasing chances of pandemics and possibility of world-wide loss of resource and life at an unprecedented level – are a few of the many initial effects of climate change. India has been taking charge and leading by example to accelerate climate action at multiple levels including the clean energy transition. With the country’s population consistently rising and expected economic growth (at an average real GDP growth of 6 per cent from 2022-2030), the demand for grid-connected electricity is expected to reach 2040-2857 TWh by 2030. In such a scenario, where over 80 thermal power plants in the country suffer from coal shortage, clean energy transition seems to be the best plausible solution. Announcements by our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26 Summit) in Glasgow have given India’s RE sector an incredible boost to bring in transformational changes across industries, economy, utility and society. With favourable policy support and public-private partnership, India has become the world's third-largest producer of renewable energy, fulfilling its COP21 commitment of achieving 40 per cent of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil energy sources by 2030. This has been achieved, 9 years ahead of schedule in December 2021. India continues to significantly step up its clean energy transition efforts. According to a recent analysis, new solar installations witnessed 22 per cent growth in first 8 months of 2022 as compared to the same period last year. As of August 2022, solar installations represented 89 per cent of India's new renewables capacity. The right time to take another big step: India ranks 7th out of 181 in the Global Climate Risk Index 2021 and a study has also suggested that climate change could reduce 2.5-4.5 per cent of India’s GDP annually. In pursuit of transitioning to a low-carbon economy, India has been consistently taking action to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. This is evidenced in the fact that more than 606 GW of coal-fired power projects have been cancelled or shelved and 15.6 GW retired in India during the 2010-2022 period. The government of India has taken incredible steps supported by policies and schemes like Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme, Solar Park Scheme, Viability Gap Funding (VGF) Schemes, must run status, making solar an essential service, subsidies, reverse bidding, supporting force majeure during initial months of the pandemic, boosting domestic solar manufacturing with the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI), Basic Custom Duty (BCD), Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) to enable India’s Energy Security and the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. These initiatives are driving investment and encouragement into the renewable energy sector.
