The emphasis to switch to green energy is more important now than ever before. In the latest development, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and MEC Intelligence (MEC+) on August 24 launched the third annual edition looking at the wind energy outlook in India that highlights wind energy`s critical link to green energy transition.
The outlook, renewing wind growth to power the energy transition: India Wind Energy Market Outlook 2026, suggests the country can add another 23.7 GW of capacity within the next five years provided necessary enabling policies, facilitative instruments, and the right institutional interventions are put in place.
Ben Backwell, CEO of GWEC, said, "This outlook is published as the world faces a decisive moment; there is a narrow window of opportunity to halt the irreversible damage to this planet from climate change by making an urgent shift to clean energy. "India can seize this opportunity, but it must kick-start its energy transition after delays due to the pandemic."
