The state of Gujarat, India, plays a pivotal role in the country’s renewable energy landscape. Despite starting as a stronghold of natural gas energy, Gujarat is leading India’s renewable energy efforts, committed to reaching 80 GW of renewable energy by 2030. Since 2009, Gujarat has consistently generated surplus renewable power. In 2024, the state has over 28 GW of installed renewable capacity, with 14.5 GW from solar, and is number one in solar rooftop installations, providing over 50% of the country's residential solar capacity.

According to the Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis, in 2024, Gujarat holds the potential of over 220GW of renewable energy capacity. Gujarat's journey offers valuable lessons in reducing fossil fuel dependence and creating a renewable energy hub in its place.
