Littleton, Colorado: India's rapid advances in solar power production have been widely celebrated for showing how fast-developing economies can accelerate the decarbonisation of their energy systems without jeopardising economic growth. This has resulted in a continuing climb in India's power sector emissions, even as solar's share of the country's electricity generation mix has more than doubled since 2019. Solar surgeBetween 2017 and 2021, India's solar power production capacity more than tripled, ranking third globally in terms of solar capacity additions during that window, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy. Reduced demand for LNG was also reflected in India's LNG import totals. However, for India's power producers, with limited options for generating baseload electricity, less gas simply meant they have had to burn more coal in 2022.
