  "account": "India's wind power installations are poised to double by 2030, according to a senior executive from wind turbine manufacturer Suzlon Energy. Last year, India installed a record-breaking 6.3 gigawatts (GW) of wind power capacity, which is projected to increase to 8 GW this year. The executive, Girish Tanti, predicts that annual wind power installations could double to approximately 14 GW by 2030. Wind power installations have traditionally lagged behind solar power in India, but recent recognition of the potential benefits of combining wind and solar capacity with battery storage systems has attracted more investment and development in this area. Tanti believes that battery storage will \"change the game altogether for India\" by providing a firm and consistent source of electricity, free from fuel supply issues that could affect other power plants. India is on track to achieve its goal of installing 500 GW of non-fossil-fuel power capacity by 2030, having recently reached the 300 GW milestone. Solar power dominated the capacity additions, with 164.59 GW as of the end of July, followed by wind power at 58.14 GW. Hydropower contributed 57.24 GW, bio-power 11.75 GW, and nuclear power 8.78 GW, bringing the total installed capacity to 300.5 GW as of July 31. In July 2027, Indian authorities will introduce a regulation mandating developers of solar and wind energy projects to install battery storage at the sites to better manage renewable energy output and minimize curtailments.",
  "summary": "India’s record-setting annual additions of wind power capacity could double by the end of the decade, a senior executive at major wind turbine maker Suzlon Energy told Bloomberg on Thursday. Last year, India installed a record 6.3 gigawatts (GW) of wind power generation capacity. This year, the annual installations are set to top that record and reach 8 GW, and annual additions could then double…",
