IEC chief calls for fivefold jump in renewable energy capacity by 2030

The world needs to increase renewable energy capacity fivefold to 11,000 gigawatts by 2030, the head of the International Electrotechnical Commission said on Monday, as experts from over 100 countries gathered in India to set global electrical standards. "A solar panel manufactured to international standards in one country must perform reliably in another, and grid interconnections must follow universal protocols -- this shared technical language is how we build a sustainable future together," IEC President Jo Cops said at the inauguration of the commission's 89th General Meeting in New Delhi. Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare described the gathering as an "extraordinary convergence of technical brilliance, policy wisdom and institutional leadership" that represents a "historic occasion" for shaping the technological future. India has evolved from being a participant to holding the IEC Vice Presidency and actively participating in 121 technical committees, with observer status
