India is likely to see additional installation of 1300 MW to 1400 MW of solar power this year, clean energy consulting company Mercom Capital Group has said.
According to Mercom Capital Group, India installed 980 MW in 2012, slightly lower than the forecast of 1,090 MW.
“The difference was largely due to delays in Gujarat to commission 144.5 MW of PV projects. Moreover, most states missed their renewable portfolio obligations (RPO) goals as enforcement is almost non-existent,” Mercom Capital Group CEO and Co-Founder Raj Prabhu said.
The cumulative installations to date in India currently stands at over 1,200 MW and going by the Mercom’s projections, India is likely to install another 1,300-1,400 MW in 2013.
