The Kerala government has announced a plan to achieve 100% renewable energy generation by 2040, aiming to boost clean power and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Kerala has unveiled a comprehensive strategy to reach 100% renewable energy generation by the year 2040, marking a significant step toward sustainable development.
The policy, announced by the state government, outlines a phased approach that will gradually increase the share of solar, wind, biomass, and hydroelectric power in the state's energy mix.
Experts say the target will help Kerala reduce its carbon footprint, create green jobs, and enhance energy security.
The government plans to incentivize private investment, upgrade transmission infrastructure, and promote community‑based renewable projects to meet the ambitious goal.
This initiative follows Kerala’s earlier commitments to expand renewable capacity and aligns with national efforts to meet climate targets.
