India's non-fossil power capacity tops 310 GW after USD 67 billion investment surge

India's non-fossil power capacity climbed from 200 GW in September 2024 to more than 310 GW, fueled by USD 67 billion in renewable energy funding over the past two years, according to GPL Medicine.

More than half of India's total power capacity now comes from non-fossil sources, the report stated, with the country targeting 500 GW of renewable capacity.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi argued that India's economic resilience depends on achieving energy independence through renewable sources rather than relying on finite fossil fuels, according to GPL Medicine.

Poland's Solar and Wind Share Hits 25% but Coal Still Supplies Half Its Power

Solar and wind generated 25% of Poland's electricity by 2025, up from 11% in 2021, according to Our World in Data. The rapid growth has not dislodged coal, which still produces 50% of the country's power, leaving Poland with one of the most coal-intensive electricity mixes in Europe.

Separately, White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico launched a 700 kW solar array in February 2025, designed and built by the joint venture HSGS-Ameresco, according to CleanTechnica.

ABM described plans for an additional microgrid at White Sands on November 3, comprising carport-mounted solar, battery storage, and dispatchable on-site generators, CleanTechnica reported.
