Renewable energies are those energies which do not vanish when used and continuously get replenished like Solar energy, Wind energy, geothermal and Tidal energy.

Indian Geography, lying in tropical and subtropical regions surrounded by sea from three sides is blessed with plenty of resources.

• Solar energy: — Annually Indian cities get an average of 2300 hours of sunshine with max in Gujarat and Rajasthan having around 3000 hours of sunshine.
• Hydroelectric energy: — India has many perennial and rainfed rivers which power hydroelectric power plants.
• Wind energy: — India ranks 4th in installed wind power capacity. With a vast expanse, India’s geography supports the harnessing of wind energy. Most wind farms are located onshore in the southern and western parts of India.
• Tidal energy: – India has a high potential for harnessing tidal energy, the Gulf of Cambay in Gujarat and the Gangetic Delta in the Bay of Bengal are tidal ranges with strong tides.
• Geothermal Energy: — Most of the geothermal energy sources in India are in the Himalayan ranges like Tapovan in Uttarakhand and Puga Valley in Ladakh.
• 40% of total energy is produced by renewable energy sources in India.

India has abundant sources and the potential to harness renewable energy resources, there is much scope for R&D and infra push in this sector. world struggling with climate change, clean energy from renewable sources of energy is the need of hour.
