Michael Bloomberg gave the keynote speech at a renewable energy conference in New Delhi. He said India was “incredibly well-placed to capitalize on the benefits of renewable energy, ” according to agmentalminer.com.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed a commitment to expanding renewable energy, and has projected to install 100 gigawatts of solar power across the country by 2022. Bloomberg noted that with the large amount of solar radiation India is exposed to and the relatively minimal infrastructure needed, solar is a great option for the country.
