Icra Reports India’S Electricity Demand Set For Strong Fy2027 Recovery, Backed By 31.2 Gw Renewable Additions In Fy2026Rating agency ICRA expects India’s electricity demand to pick up again in the financial year 2026-27, projecting growth of 5 to 5.5 percent. This marks a recovery from the much slower expected growth of 1.5 to 2 percent in FY2026. The power sector continues to play a central role in supporting India’s economic expansion, especially as the country works toward a more sustainable and stable energy system.
Recent data shows early signs of improvement in electricity demand. Between December 1 and 25, 2025, all-India power demand increased by 5.1 percent year-on-year, with daily usage averaging 4.4 billion units. This rebound was supported by seasonal factors and follows a sharp decline of 0.8 percent in November and a 6 percent contraction in October 2025.
Sharing ICRA’s outlook, Ankit Jain, Vice President and Co-Group Head of Corporate Ratings at the agency, noted that the expected recovery in FY2027 aligns with strong activity in the renewable energy sector. He highlighted that India added 31.2 GW of renewable capacity in the first eight months of FY2026—an annual increase of 109 percent—driven by a healthy project pipeline and lower solar module prices.
However, he also pointed out that the pace of new project auctions slowed, with only 8.6 GW bid out in the same period due to delays in signing power purchase and power sale agreements. Jain emphasised that transmission infrastructure remains a critical area of focus, as grid curtailments during peak renewable generation hours reveal the urgent need for better storage capacity and stronger transmission networks. These developments will be key areas to watch in FY2027 to ensure the sector maintains its growth momentum.
On the supply side, the sector is witnessing strong activity, mainly led by renewable projects. From April to October 2025, India added 29.8 GW of new power generation capacity, more than double the 12.5 GW added during the same period in the previous year. This surge was largely the result of developers rushing to commission projects before the complete waiver of interstate transmission system charges expired on June 30, 2025. Overall, net capacity additions for FY2026 are expected to reach around 46 GW, significantly higher than the 33 GW added in FY2025, supported by a strong renewable pipeline.
Electricity demand growth has varied widely across states in FY2026. Gujarat recorded the highest growth at 8.5 percent, followed by Karnataka and Bihar at 6.5 percent each. In contrast, major states such as Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal saw minimal growth, all close to or just above 1 percent. Several states experienced a drop in demand, including Haryana (-4.0%), Punjab (-6.2%), Rajasthan (-2.1%), Uttar Pradesh (-3.4%), Madhya Pradesh (-2.0%), and Telangana (-2.5%). This uneven trend has been influenced by a high base in the previous year and adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, which affected consumption patterns.
Overall, the outlook suggests that while short-term challenges persist, India’s electricity demand is expected to regain strength in FY2027, supported by rapid renewable capacity additions and ongoing efforts to upgrade transmission and grid infrastructure.

Global Solar Generation Topped 540 Gw In April, Says SolcastA new analysis from Solcast data scientists using Microsoft's Global Renewables Watch dataset offers a detailed look at solar generation across the planet in 2025. Drawing from a model based on Microsoft’s satellite-derived database of 86,410 commercial PV assets worldwide, the Solcast API was used to simulate hourly production data for the entire calendar year. The study reveals the global peak of solar output occurred on April 29 at 06:00 UTC, reaching an estimated 540 GW, and highlighting seasonal variability and geographic patterns in solar output. These findings are based on a large scale data analysis completed using Solcast irradiance data and the Solcast API.
To build this global generation model, Solcast applied a set of regional assumptions to Microsoft's high-resolution satellite segmentation of PV assets. These market-based assumptions included estimates for each system's capacity, azimuth, tilt, efficiency, and ground coverage ratio. Where possible, these estimates were cross-referenced with grid capacity data and scaled to national installed capacities to improve the robustness of capacity estimates and include behind the meter generation. The Solcast API was then queried to simulate hourly generation profiles for each site, producing an extensive global dataset of solar output.
The model shows that global solar generation reached its peak on April 29, 2025. At 06:00 UTC, modelled generation peaked at 539 GW, marking the most productive hour of the year for solar assets worldwide. This time of day aligns with solar noon in India, early afternoon in China and East Asia, and morning in Central Europe, collectively representing many of the world’s largest solar-producing regions. The surrounding dates May 1, May 3, and May 11 saw similar peaks all at similar time of day, reinforcing that late April and early May likely delivered the most favorable combination of daylight and clear-sky conditions across key global markets. Total daily generation on April 29 reached approximately 6 TWh, roughly one-tenth of global daily electricity consumption. In contrast, daily generation dipped below 3 TWh during the Northern Hemisphere winter, with January registering the lowest totals.
Beyond peak output, the dataset also illustrates the extent of solar generation variability. Using a metric that identifies days with national generation deviating more than 25% from seasonal averages, Solcast highlighted the degree of inter-day variability faced by grid operators. The most stable solar outputs can be observed to be associated with climatically stable regions, most typically arid areas, and in in countries with geographically dispersed solar fleets, such as India, Australia, the United States, and Brazil, where regional weather differences tend to average out. Still, the occurrence of high-variability days across all regions underscores the importance of accurate short-term forecasting in balancing grids dominated by variable renewables.

Poland Projected To Reach 59.1 Gw Of Solar By 2035Poland is on course to reach 59.1 GW of cumulative solar capacity by the end of 2035, according to analysis by UK consulting company GlobalData.
GlobalData said it expects Poland to add 3.7 GW of solar in 2025, taking total capacity to 24.9 GW. The consultancy is forecasting around the same amount of solar will be deployed in 2026, 2027 and 2028, with annual deployments of 3.7 GW and 3.8 GW, before the figure begins to drop slightly. This trend is expected to continue into the early 2030s, with annual deployments slowing to 3.2 GW and 3.1 GW by 2034 and 2035.
This trajectory would see Poland surpass 30 GW of solar in 2026, 40 GW in 2030 and 50 GW in 2033, before being less than 1 GW away from 60 GW threshold by the end of 2035.
During this time period, solar is expected to increase its position as Poland’s leading form of renewables. GlobalData’s figures indicate solar will account for almost 65% of the 91.5 GW of renewables in Poland’s electricity mix in 2035.
GlobalData said Poland’s solar growth will be driven by utility-scale project development, continued expansion of distributed generation and auction-based support mechanisms under the country’s Renewable Energy Sources Act.
Mohammed Ziauddin, a power analyst at GlobalData, added that Poland’s updated National Energy and Climate Plan is providing long-term visibility for renewable deployment, while investments by the state-owned transmission system operator Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. are critical to integrating higher volumes of variable generation into the power system.
While coal still plays a significant role in Poland’s power system today, GlobalData’s analysis adds that coal-based generation is expected to decline steadily over the next 10 years, falling from around 32.2 GW in 2024 to around 20.5 GW in 2035.
Ziauddin concluded that Poland’s power sector is moving toward a more diversified generation mix, with solar and wind reshaping the system as coal capacity declines. “This approach strengthens supply security and supports Poland’s long-term decarbonization objectives,” he said.
