Stiell highlights India’s remarkable progress, noting that the country is already a “solar superpower” with over 100 gigawatts of solar capacity and a total of 200 gigawatts of renewable energy installed. He emphasizes that India’s early success in electrifying villages and its leadership in clean energy provide a strong foundation to further expand renewable capacity, create new jobs, and boost economic growth. According to Stiell, robust climate plans—particularly enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions that integrate both emissions cuts and growth objectives—are essential to capitalize on these opportunities.
