Indicator Summary

The Total Installed Capacity of Grid Interactive Renewable Power refers to the cumulative energy-generating capacity of renewable energy systems integrated into the national or regional power grid. These systems include technologies like solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, biomass power plants, small hydropower projects, and waste-to-energy systems. These systems are important for meeting global energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. India, for instance, has seen significant growth in this sector, driven by ambitious targets under its renewable energy initiatives. In recent years, solar and wind energy have contributed the most significant shares, reflecting the country’s geographic and policy advantages. This capacity is measured in megawatts (MW) and is a crucial indicator of progress toward energy sustainability and climate goals. Expanding grid-interactive renewable capacity diversifies the energy mix, enhances energy security, boosts rural electrification, and fosters economic development.
