India Plans to Generate 13GW of Renewable Electric Power




Some of  world’s largest solar and wind power plants are located in big countries like China or Africa. But recently, I have noticed that some smaller countries have also big plans related to an efficient use of renewable energy sources. For example, India recently announced that they will build the world’s largest renewable energy power plant that will generate 13GW of electric power. Currently, these figures are just part of some plans but if the project will be completed, India could even surpass China’s wind energy development.

Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam and Airvoice Group, a collaboration between the state of Himachal Pradesh and the government of India, will lead this project and as they say “it will be the world’s largest green energy project“. They also announced that the project will involve the generation of 3GW of electricity from wind turbines and 10GW from solar thermal energy. Karnataka will be the area where the plant will be located and the costs to complete such a project can reach up to $50 billion.
