Gujarat added the sixth-highest solar open access capacity in Q2 2024, according to Mercom’s Q2 2024 India Solar Open Access Market Report. In Q2 of 2024, about 1.8 GW of solar open access capacity was added in the country, a marginal 2.5% drop QoQ and up nearly 152% year over year (YoY). Gujarat contributed 9.2% to the quarterly capacity additions, with wind-solar hybrid power projects comprising over 36% of the state’s installations. However, the installations were 56.9% lower YoY and 9.9% QoQ. The commissioning of a substantial capacity of solar and wind-solar hybrid power projects was delayed as several developers in the state awaited a potential exemption from the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers, which never materialized.
