Rajasthan, India’s largest state with the vast Thar Desert, is a perfect spot for solar power. With mostly clear skies, it’s ideal
for generating solar energy. The Rajasthan State Government is thinking ahead by revealing the Renewable Energy Policy
2023. This shows a big step towards a sustainable future. The policy has big goals: they want to reach 65 gigawatts of solar
power and 15 gigawatts of a mix of wind and solar power by the year 2030.

Rajasthan’s Ambitious Renewables Surge: Aiming for 90,000 MW by 2030 with Cutting-Edge Policies and Innovations

The Renewable Energy Target in Rajasthan aims to achieve 90,000 MW of renewable capacity by 2029-30, with a focus on 65,000 MW of solar, 15,000 MW of wind and hybrid, and 10,000 MW of hydro and storage. The government plans to foster renewable energy parks through public-private partnerships, investing up to 50% equity. Land allotment provisions are in place for government and private projects. The initiative supports the integration of renewable energy into electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, providing incentives for various models. Rajasthan boasts significant wind (~284GW) and solar (~142GW) potential. Project approval is streamlined through State-level committees. Hybrid solar-wind projects are classified and promoted, including hybridization of conventional thermal power plants. The policy encourages decentralized solar power projects near 33 kV Grid Sub-Stations for power sale to DISCOMs.
