Hubballi: Karnataka has emerged as the top state in installation of renewable energy overtaking Tamil Nadu, which has been a top performer in India for a long time. A recent report of Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) has revealed that Karnataka has been taking advantage of several positive renewable energy policies like the introduction of a hybrid wind-solar development policy, open access and significant steps to reverse Karnataka’s historic reliance on energy imports.

Karnataka has added 5 gigawatts (GW) in 2017-18 and reached 12.3 GW of total installed capacity as of March 2018.
