Amaravati: India’s Ambition for a Fully Renewable-Powered City

Amaravati is poised to become the world’s first city powered entirely by renewable energy, targeting a 2,700 MW capacity from solar, wind, and hydropower. The city’s energy blueprint mandates rooftop solar panels on government buildings and promotes green energy in public infrastructure. By 2050, at least 30% of Amaravati’s electricity will come from renewables, with solar power playing a pivotal role. Electric public transport, charging stations for vehicles, and energy-efficient cooling systems are integral to the plan. This ambitious approach aligns with India’s climate goals and positions Amaravati as a global leader in sustainable urban development.
