Gujarat is setting a new benchmark in the renewable energy sector with its groundbreaking “Mission 100 GW,” which aims to expand the state’s renewable energy capacity significantly. By targeting an impressive 100 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030, Mission 100 GW is set to embark on a futuristic initiative in sustainability and energy innovation.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES OF MISSION 100 GW
The key objective of Mission 100 GW is to target the installation of 100 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity in Gujarat by 2030. This includes advancements in solar, wind, and other renewable energy technologies to meet rising energy demands sustainably and reduce carbon emissions. Mission 100 GW is a strategic initiative to address Gujarat’s burgeoning energy demands while advancing sustainable energy solutions. This initiative aims to meet Gujarat’s growing energy needs, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions, and contribute to the global effort against climate change.
The mission aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which seeks to develop a green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) by 2030 (Rao, 2024). This national mission is expected to be supported by an additional 100 GW of renewable energy capacity, with a total investment anticipated to exceed ₹8 lakh crore. The synergy between Mission 100 GW and the National Green Hydrogen Mission highlights the strategic importance of integrating large-scale renewable energy investments in India’s transition to a sustainable energy future.
