Read the original article on independent.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Independent runs an AP report on India's goal of 900 gigawatts of non-fossil power capacity by 2035, the nearly $20 billion grid plan, and the coal, storage, finance and battery supply hurdles in the way. It names its sources, separates installed capacity from electricity actually generated, and sets the official case for more coal against Berkeley estimates that challenge it. We found nothing in it that misleads.
“The new goal refers to installed generating capacity, rather than the amount of electricity actually produced.”
The article tells the reader that a capacity target is not the same as clean electricity delivered, so the headline figure is not mistaken for output.
“Although clean power accounted for 55% of installed power capacity by September, it generated about a third of the country’s electricity in the preceding three months, according to government data.”
It puts the capacity share beside the much lower generation share and names the source, so the figures cannot be read as overstating progress.
