Aligning with its efforts to build 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022, India will add 14 GW of solar-generated energy to its power grid in 2019. That’s 50 percent more than last year’s addition and will take India’s installed solar capacity to about 38 GW by the end of the year. The remarkable initiative follows the country’s efforts to meet one of its goals under the Paris climate agreement: renewable sources must account for up to 40 percent of power-generation capacity by 2030.
