India’s solar capacity up by more than 12GW in 2023

Its wind capacity meanwhile grew by 2.2GW.

India added a total of 12,784 megawatts of solar capacity and 2,276MW of wind capacity between April 2022 and March 2023.

This reflected an 8% year-on-year decrease in solar installations and a significant 105%YoY jump in wind capacity, JMK Research & Analytics reported.

Data from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy showed renewable energy cumulative installation capacity reached 125.2 gigawatts with solar power contributing 53% of the total renewables segment.

This is followed by wind energy (34%). Bio Power (9%), and small hydro (4%).

In the utility-scale solar segment, about 8GW of new capacity was added in India which is around 21% lesser than the FY2022 installations; whilst 2,232MW were added in the rooftop solar segment in FY2023, up by 1.2%, and about 836MW were added in the off-grid/distributed solar segment.

Moreover, in the wind sector, about 2.28 GW of new capacity was added in FY2023, which is 105% higher than the 1.1GW capacity in the previous year.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
