Growth of Installed capacity since 6th Plan to 10th Plan ( 1985 – 2007)
About 75% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal power
plants, 21% by hydroelectric power plants and 4% by nuclear power plants. More
than 50% of India's commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast
coal reserves. The country has also invested heavily in recent years on renewable
sources of energy such as wind energy. As of 2008, India's installed wind power
generation capacity stood at 9,655 MW. Additionally, India has committed
massive amount of funds for the construction of various nuclear reactors which
would generate at least 30,000 MW. In July 2009, India unveiled a $19 billion
plan to produce 20,000 MW of solar power by 2020.
