The installed capacity of power generation in Karnataka will go up from 30,000 MW to 40,000 MW by the end of 2030 as a lot of emphasis has been laid on harnessing renewable energies (RE) and the State is planning for increasing generation through RE sources to about 10,000 MW in the next ten years.
Disclosing this here in Mysuru on Saturday, Minister for Energy and Kannada and Culture V. Sunil Kumar said the Centre has set a target of 500 GW of renewable energy in the next ten years. Karnataka, which is pioneering in harnessing RE sources, has taken the lead and supporting the Centre’s initiatives/plans.
