⚡2024 saw a record 35GW added to India’s power sector, comprising mostly solar PV (24.5GW) and wind (3.4GW).
Great progress, but these additions must grow ~15% per year to meet the 2030 target of 500GW non-fossil capacity 🎯

🌍 Wind & solar capacity grew 20% in 2024, but the world must move faster to get projects online.
Failing to do so could jeopardize the pace & scale necessary for meeting the goal of tripling renewables capacity by 2030 set at #COP28.

Hi! I lead ownership research at Global Energy Monitor. Knowing who owns and controls oil and gas fields and fossil fuel-powered power plants is key to understanding corruption risks and holding those responsible for environmental crimes to account. #energysky
