Gujarat has achieved a significant milestone in renewable energy, positioning itself as a leader in India's green energy transition. Key achievements include massive capacity additions in solar and wind power and pioneering grid integration projects. 

Key Achievements of the Gujarat Grid
Massive Renewable Capacity :-
  As of August 2025, Gujarat's total renewable energy capacity reached approximately 39,275.7 MW. The state added a record 6,632 MW of new green power capacity between April and August 2025 alone.
 India's Largest Renewable Energy Park ;-
 Gujarat is home to the world's largest hybrid renewable energy park in Khavda, Kutch district. This massive project spans 72,600 hectares with a planned capacity of 30 GW through a combination of solar and wind energy, designed to power 18 million homes.
Pioneering Solar Initiatives :-
Gujarat was the first state in India to announce a comprehensive solar power policy in 2009 and the first to establish a solar park (Charanka Solar Park). It leads the nation in total installed rooftop solar capacity.

Grid Modernization and Storage:-
 The state is upgrading its transmission and distribution network with new substations and has secured agreements for 1,192 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to help manage the intermittent nature of renewable supply and ensure grid stability.
Fully Solar-Powered Villages -
Dhordo, a village recognized by the UNWTO as the "Best Tourism Village," recently became Gujarat's fourth fully solar-powered village under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, demonstrating successful decentralized generation. 
Strategic Vision:-
Gujarat has launched "Mission 100 GW of Renewable Energy in Gujarat," an ambitious goal to install 100 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, reinforcing its role as a clean energy hub and supporting India's national target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
