Boasting 42.583 GW—16.50 percent of India’s renewables—Gujarat reigns supreme under CM Bhupendra Patel, topping wind at 14,820.94 MW and rooftop solar nationwide. Solar hits 25,529.40 MW, fueled by massive ground projects, 1.1 million rooftops (6,412.80 MW), and KUSUM pumps, supporting the journey to 2030’s 50 percent renewable target.
Kutch’s Khavda park, world’s biggest at 37.35 GW with 11.33 GW live, alongside Charanka and others, highlights scale. Wind districts like Jamnagar (1,867 MW) and policies from 1993 onward, including 2023’s barrier-free RE policy, enable hybrids (2,398 MW) and storage integration.
Digital tools like Akshay Urja Setu streamline connectivity for rapid execution, generating 2.37 lakh jobs. Net metering powers 6.40 GW rooftops. Pipeline includes 32.22 GW solar, 15 GW wind, 21.15 GW hybrids from 5,203 projects, eyeing 105 GW by 2030—India’s 500 GW’s 20 percent.
Gujarat’s evolution from first wind policy to comprehensive green strategies fosters private participation, tech innovation, and distributed energy, slashing fossil reliance and pioneering a cleaner, job-rich tomorrow.
