The Indian Scenario
India is today the fourth largest wind power generator in the world, with an installed capacity of around 7,100 MW. It is the second largest in the world in biogas power generation, with an installation base of 3.9 million.

But surprisingly, India's current installed capacity of renewable energy is only around 10,400 MW – a mere 8% of the country's total generation capacity. Capacity versus utility...

The Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has set targets to increase installed generation capacity significantly by the year 2012. Plans in the pipeline include:

30 million households to have improved cook stoves 12 million family-size biogas plants to be set up 1500 solar photovoltaic plants 2000 biomass gasifier-based power plants 1000 small hydro power plants 2 million solar home systems 5 million square metres of collector area for low-temperature solar water-heating systems Installation of 1000 medium-temperature, solar-concentrator-based solar process heating systems

All these measures would ensure that renewable sources of energy would contribute more than 10% to the capacity addition of 120,000 MW by the year 2012.
