Karnataka is now a renewable energy leaderin IndiaovertakingTamilNadu.Over the lastone year, it has become country’s biggestrenewable power producer with an installedcapacity of 12.3 gigawatts (GW, or 1,000megawatts). This includes 5 GW of solar,4.7GWofwind,andaround2.6GWofotherrenewablessuchassmallhydro,biomass,andheatandpowercogeneration.Incomparison,thestate’scoalpowercapacity isaround9.8GW.
