🧵IEEFA Power Lines: How are India’s Purvodaya states placed on renewable energy? Let’s break it down ⬇️

1/2 Share of Renewables in Total Installed Capacity (as of 31 May 2025) Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal show a modest share of renewable energy, ranging between 8% and 47%.

2/2 Renewable Energy Installed Capacity Mix (%) What makes up the RE mix in these states? 🔸Solar leads in Andhra, Bihar & Jharkahnd 🔸Wind is concentrated in Andhra 🔸Large hydro strong in Odisha & WB 🔸Small hydro appears in Bihar 🔸Bio power strengthens Bihar & WB’s mix

🇧🇩Bangladesh needs up to $980M/yr till 2030 & $1.46B/yr after to meet RE goals, says new report by Shafiqul Alam & Labanya Prakash . Challenges: Policy shifts, land & currency risks Fixes: Green finance, duty cuts, credit guarantees. 📘Report: tinyurl.com/nxstyvk3

Israel-Iran tensions: Vibhuti Garg tells Aniruddha Ghosal of The Associated Press, “By diversifying its suppliers with more imports from the US, Russia, and other countries in the Middle East, India has somewhat reduced its risk.” Read the full article: tinyurl.com/yetp9d8t

📢 WEBINAR: Join us at 9:30am BST on 24th July to discuss the results of new study that shows how 🇮🇳 India can deliver 52 GW of 24/7 CFE by 2030 — saving grid operators US$1 billion per year from 2030. Register here 👉🏻us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

🌞India now faces power peaks at 3PM in afternoon & between 9-11PM in evening, driven by heat & AC loads. Solar can meet the 3PM peak, but evenings still rely on coal. India must invest in storage, smart pricing & efficient ACs to green the grid. Report: tinyurl.com/yz6x58a7

📊IEEFA Power Lines: Bangladesh has 1,559MW of installed RE as of April 2025, but aims for 5,851MW by 2030 & 16,506MW by 2040. To hit these goals, annual clean energy investment must rise 4–6x. From US$238 million/yr to up to US$1.46 billion/yr.📌Stay tuned for visuals next Wed.

India has hit its 2030 non-fossil fuel target 5 years early. “But to reach 500GW renewables, it must double capacity in just 5 years,” says Vibhuti Garg to Sri Jegarajah on CNBC’s “Inside India” on the road ahead. Watch from 33.42 counter: tinyurl.com/4ub999ar

"Start with 70% Carbon-Free and gradually shift to 100%. We are close to achieving huge cost savings – even at 100% CF." noted IEEFA’s Vibhuti Garg. Hear key insights from TransitionZero's webinar on India's path to a 24/7 #CleanEnergy future: tinyurl.com/vw2st7tw

⚡With rising renewables, India’s power management is evolving. Vibhuti Garg on The Core podcast with Govindraj Ethiraj says: 🔸Demand now peaks around 3PM, aligning with solar output 🔸Real grid pressure hits at 8–9PM, when solar drops & AC use spikes Hear a clip👇

📉Factsheet: Petrochemicals can no longer be counted on for growth. Despite overcapacity, erratic demand & falling margins, capacity additions continue in APAC (excluding China). Petrochemicals are in secular decline, putting emerging economies at risk. tinyurl.com/3vx3w74d
