India has doubled its total installed electricity capacity since 2014 to 500 GW, almost double Germany's electric capacity

Good news! Very impressive, but still lagging far behind e.g. China and the US!

Germany's wind power turbines can not keep up, while it destroys nuclear and coal fired power plants! 😊

According to Google: "China's total installed electricity capacity reached 3.72 billion kilowatts (3,720 GW) as of the end of September 2025.",
"The total installed electricity capacity of the USA is approximately 1.25 terawatts (TW) as of 2024, which is about 1,250 GW.",
"Germany's total installed electricity capacity was approximately 263.4 GW in 2024"

"... from less than 250 gigawatts to over 500. Note that “total installed electricity capacity” reflects the theoretical maximum that all of India’s generators could produce, not their actual output."

"... Break-up of India’s Power Capacity

Non-fossil fuel sources (renewable energy, hydro, and nuclear): 256.09 GW – over 51 % of the total.

 

Fossil-fuel-based sources: 244.80 GW – about 49 % of the total.

Within renewables: 

Solar power – 127.33 GW

Wind power – 53.12 GW
