Achieving renewable energy targets to help India reduce water consumption

At a time when the country is facing water crisis, experts have said if Centre achieves its renewable energy targets then India could reduce its water consumption intensity by over 25 per cent. It may be noted, India is planning to add 227 GW of renewable energy capacity by March 2022, which will make the country as one of the top three countries making investments in the sector.Tianyi Luo, Senior Manager, Water Risks & Data Analytics, Global Water Program at World Resources Institute said that World Resources Institute (WRI's) analysis shows that India could reduce its water consumption intensity by more than 25 percent just by achieving its renewable energy targets.Almost 90 percent of India's thermal power generation is dependent on freshwater for cooling. Reducing power sector water consumption intensity could be achieved by adding more solar PV and wind power projects into the country's power mix.Wind consumes zero water when generating electricity, and solar PV consumes very
