With an installed capacity of about 3000 MW solar power, the share of solar energy is about 2% in the power sector of the country. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has proposed to scale up Grid Connected Solar Power targets from 20,000 MW to 1,00,000 MW by 2022. The target includes 40,000 MW roof-top solar photovoltaics, 57,000 MW large solar projects and 3,000 MW already installed. This was stated by Sh. Piyush Goyal, Minister of state for Power, Coal & New and Renewable Energy (Independent Charge) in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today. The Minister further stated that India already has installed capacity of over 34 GW from various renewable energy sources which is 13% of the total installed capacity of power generation in the country. As per Global Status Report, REN 21, India’s global position in renewable energy capacity installation is 5th in the world. The investment in renewable energy are mainly by private sector.
