India’s power sector needs USD 700 bn investment to achieve net-zero pledge, says Moody’s

Live Mint  

New Delhi, Feb 19 India's power sector - the biggest carbon emitter - will need massive USD 700 billion investment over the next 10 years to help the country achieve its 2070 net-zero pledge, Moody's Ratings said on Wednesday. "Our expectation of strong economic growth over the next 10 years implies an expansion of India's coal-based power generation capacity in that period, hindering carbon transition," it said. Moody's expect India's economy to grow at around 6.5 per cent per annum over the next 10 years, with a compound annual growth rate for power demand of around 6 per cent. "Our projection of an increase of around 450 GW of renewable energy capacity over this period would be insufficient to meet such demand, implying that India's coal-based power generation capacity will continue to expand by 35 per cent over the next 10 years," it said.
