India is producing more green energy - but wasting a lot of it
Yet, the country's push for clean energy appears to have reached a crucial inflection point.A decade ago India's installed renewable energy capacity was barely 4GW. It is an execution issue that becomes more important as the system gets larger," he adds.Vibhuti Garg of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis also blames "poor planning" for the problem.The grid was able to absorb new capacity as long as India was generating 10-15GW annually, she told the BBC. But currently, around 83% of India's finance for climate mitigation is sourced domestically, according to the government's economic survey.

The first instance was around the same period a year ago.While it was only briefly that power generated from solar, wind, hydro and nuclear sources collectively outstripped coal-based output, it was a milestone moment reflecting the astonishing growth of non-fossil fuels to the country's electricity mix over the last decade."It showed that renewable energy is no longer a marginal source…
