India to be global hub for renewable energy in next 30 years: US Ambassador

Like the resilience of a palm tree that grows notwithstanding the "strongest storm" and "biggest wind", the India-US relationship will continue to thrive and benefit the world, US Ambassador Eric Garcetti said on Monday. In an address at an event, the envoy specifically lauded India's "bold goals" for renewable energy and said it will emerge as the "shop floor" globally in the sector in the next 30 years. "India's ambitious targets and policies are making it a leader in solar and wind capacity, not just for this country, but to be able to manufacture at cost for the world -- the solar panels that we need, the electrolyzes that we want, the batteries that are critical," he said. "India will, mark my words, in the next 30 years, be the shop floor for the renewable energy revolution," he said. The outgoing ambassador was speaking at the South Asia Women in Energy leadership summit hosted by the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF). The ambassador narrated an episode of a hot

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), in collaboration with the Ministry of Power, has decided to set up a centre of excellence (CoE) to carry out research and development for indigenous manufacturing of various components required to generate green energy. Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi said at a press conference after addressing the 'Chintan Shivir' organised here to develop strategies for achieving India's ambitious target of 500 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity in the next 6 years by 2030.

Significant growth opportunity for renewables sector in India: SEforALL

There is significant growth opportunity for renewable energy sector in India, as the country's growing energy demand along with rapid industrialization needs all resources of energy, including solar and wind, according to an international sustainable development agency in Vienna. The Indian government has shown both a deep as well as a continued commitment to renewable energy, said Kanika Chawla, Director and Chief of Staff at Sustainable Energy For All' (SEforALL).
