According to the latest news from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, in 2020, India's wind farms and solar power plants accounted for 9.
3% of all grid demand, compared with 8%
in 2019.
Specifically, in 2020, India's solar power generation increased by 25% year-on-year, while wind power generation fell by 5%.
This is because despite the higher installed capacity, this year's windy season is weaker, especially from
August to October.
According to an analysis by ArcVera Renewables, India's wind power production unexpectedly declined
in the second and third quarters of this year due to low wind speeds caused by regional and global climatic factors.
Despite the change compared to the same period last year, India's wind power generation in the second and third quarters of this year was significantly lower than the long-term average production forecast, which is based on an analysis of climate records and surface wind observations, a rare event
, the analysis noted.
The Indian government plans to achieve 175GW of domestic renewable energy installed capacity by the end of March 2022, including 100GW of solar power and 60GW of wind power
.
Of the 100 GW of solar, 40GW of rooftop solar power
is also included.
However, at the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak, lockdown policies adopted to contain the spread of the virus led to weak electricity demand, and lower generation generated by renewable energy and other technologies was in a "must run" state, which also helped to increase the share
of wind and solar in the generation mix.
Overall, coal and natural gas remained India's top sources of power generation, accounting for 73 per cent of total electricity demand in 2020, down from 75 per cent in 2019, with other zero-carbon resources such as hydro, nuclear and biomass providing 17 per cent in 2020, compared to 16 per cent
in 2019.
The share of renewables in India's electricity demand is expected to increase further in
2021 as new solar and wind projects come online.
