India a key part of renewable plan, hope to double portfolio by 2030: EDF

EDF Renewables plans to push its ambitious plan for India through EDEN Renewables, its joint venture with Total Eren

French energy utility EDF, which has 1,350 Mwp (mega-watt peak) of new solar photovoltaic power plants, is now among the top 15 renewable energy project developers in India. Under its Cap 2030 strategy, the company aims to double its renewable power portfolio from 25 Gw in 2015 to 50 Gw net capacities in 2030.

“India is an important market for the group, particularly in renewables, with solar and wind energy projects. With our strong commitment to India, EDF aims to contribute to the government’s goal of reaching 220 Gw of non-fossil generation by 2022,” said Patrick Charignon, Asia-Pacific vice-president, EDF Renewables.
