Solar energy: India has become the third largest producer of solar power, India, Japan defeated - India Boxes Third Larget Solar Energy Produce

Pti, New -Delhi. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Thursday that India became the third largest country in the world in generating solar energy, which Japan left behind. India has yielded so much energy so far, citing the data of the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), the new renewable energy minister said that India has yielded 1,08.494 gwing Hour (GWH) solar energy so far, while Japan yielded 96.459 GWH. Joshi, who appreciates the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an X -mail, said India is a pioneer in the Global Clean Energy Revolution. This achievement is also important because India works with a multidimensional approach to meet its ambitious target of 500 GW of non-Givas fuel-based power capacity by 2030. China is at the forefront of the growth of the PV capacity in the solar power; India’s progress in this direction will not only promote energy security, but it will also be a strong step against the global climate change. According to 2024 data from the international energy agency, China leads the growth in the PV capacity. It increased by 260 GW in 2023, which is almost third compared to the previous year. In 2022, ambitious targets were set for the implementation of China’s 14th Five -Year Plan for Renewable Energy, which is expected to further increase capacity growth. In US PV growth 2023, in 2022, the US recorded a generous new amount for solar PV in the IRA Reduction Act (IRA). The PV growth in the US increased by 70% in 2023 to absorb 32 GW.
