India Achieves 300 GW Renewable Energy Capacity Milestone

India has started making a huge amount of electricity from clean sources like the sun, wind and water.

The country announced that it now has more than 300 GW of clean energy capacity.

That is more than half of the 500 GW goal it wants to reach by the year 2030.

Solar power is the biggest part, and it has grown a lot since 2014.

Wind, hydro, biomass and nuclear power make up the rest.

India also made new promises to fight climate change by 2035.

It says at least 60 percent of its electricity should come from clean sources by then.

It also promised to make less pollution for every product it produces.

One tricky part is storing extra clean energy for when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.

Batteries and pumping water uphill are ways to save that energy for later.
