Rajasthan is rapidly moving towards becoming self-reliant in the energy sector. Renewable energy plants are being established, shifting away from traditional energy production. Currently, the state has a renewable energy capacity of 43.5 percent. This is expected to reach 74 percent in the next five years.

Solar and wind energy are the main sources of renewable energy in Rajasthan. The state is struggling with a power shortage. However, improvement is expected by the end of this decade. Renewable energy will play a significant role in this improvement.

Rajasthan has great potential for renewable energy. To meet the goals for the year 2030, the state will need to increase its efforts, similar to other states, to maximize utilization.
