En 2014, o segundo maior consumidor de carbón do mundo fixo unha promesa arriscada: aumentar a súa capacidade solar de tres a 100 xigavatios en só oito anos. Moitos tacharon esta promesa de excesivamente ambiciosa, pero a experta en enerxía Kanika Chawla recoñeceuna como unha oportunidade única. Chawla cóntanos como a India se transformou nunha potencia solar, convertendo o seu carísimo soño nunha realidade rendible e creando un modelo a seguir para outros países.

Os segredos da asombrosa revolución solar india

A decade ago, India pledged to leap from 3 to 100 gigawatts of solar power, doubling capacity every 18 months against the odds. By 2025, it surpassed this milestone, unlocking $90 billion in investment and creating 300,000 new jobs. Instead of ideology, economic opportunity fueled this transformation and inspired other developing countries. The real engine behind the revolution was not just technology, but careful planning, business model innovation, and grounding solutions locally.

India’s Solar Bet Transformed It Into a Global Climate Power

India stunned the world by vowing to boost its solar capacity from three to 100 gigawatts in just eight years. Defying skeptics, it hit the target by 2025, sparking $90 billion in investment and generating 300,000 new jobs. This transformation was built on practical policies and innovative financing, not just new technology. As more developing countries pursue clean energy, their choices are shaping the planet’s future.
