Puducherry could meet 60%+ of power demand from renewables by 2030, Auroville study says
Renewables could supply over 60% of Puducherry’s electricity by 2030, up from the current 19%, according to Auroville Consulting. The study warns of rising demand and a coal-heavy mix, with coal still providing nearly 60% of power. Shifting industrial use away from peak times and expanding wind capacity could ease grid strain and cut emissions. The full report will be released January 26.
