India predicts it will exceed Paris renewable energy target by half

(The Independent, 22 Dec 2016) Energy minister says will be able to generate 370 gigawatts more of clean energy by 2027.

The Indian government predicts it will vastly exceed its renewable energy target agreed at the Paris Climate Change conference last year.

A draft 10-year energy blueprint published this week predicted the country would be generating 57 per cent of its energy through renewable sources by 2027.

The target set by the conference last year was 40 per cent by 2030.
