•    Telangana has a vast solar potential estimated at 20.41 GW and a wind energy potential of 4.2 GW.
•    Telangana has a total installed capacity of 4+GW renewable energy power, including solar energy at 3,621 MW and wind energy of 128 MW besides contribution from other renewable energy sources.
•     Installed capacity of grid interactive renewable power(source: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy – state data, dated       31.03.2020):
     o    #2 Ranked state of India in terms of solar power capacity per unit area of land mass
     o    Telangana accounts for 10.5% of India’s solar power capacity while being 3.5% of India’s land area.
     o    #4 Ranked state of India in terms of solar power production ~ 3621 MW (cumulative).
     o    #6 ranked state in India with 106 LEED certified green building projects in 2019 with 44 mn sft of built-up area.

•     Telangana is planning to achieve 5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2020, and the state is planning to release a tender for setting up of around 1000 MW (1 GW) of solar power generation capacity.

•     The state has adopted decentralized distributed solar installation projects, as opposed to the solar park model. Barring one              Project, in which more than 100 MW of solar capacity is located, the state had encouraged projects across over 180 locations, instead of concentration of projects at one location as in solar parks.
