India's Solar Push Drives Clean Energy Transition
India has been rapidly increasing its solar energy capacity, now reaching 108GW.
Due to this growth, solar energy costs have dropped significantly.
India is also increasing solar manufacturing capacity.
The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is helping countries in the Global South by offering financial support and technology development.
The ISA aims to support solar energy transitions through various pillars like finance, capacity building, regional engagement, and technology policy, to support global sustainability.
India has reached 224 GW of renewable energy capacity, with 108 GW from solar.
Solar energy tariffs have fallen 69% between 2014 and 2024 due to various market mechanisms.
India's module-making capacity has reached 80GW and cell manufacturing capacity 25GW.
The ISA is structured around four foundational pillars to promote solar adoption in Global South.
The ISA is working on regional platforms, such as Small Island Developing States Platform, to enable solar deployment.
