<h1>Renewable energy targets: talks for PPAs to add capacity and a testing facility to boost domestic solar manufacturing.</h1> Talks with states aim to secure power purchase agreements to add significant renewable capacity as part of national targets for scaling annual renewable additions and increasing solar's share. A new solar PV module testing, calibration, and certification facility at the National Institute of Solar Energy will address standards gaps, support domestic manufacturing and production-linked incentives, and enable quality assurance for emerging solar technologies. Complementary priorities include rooftop solar expansion, building-integrated photovoltaics, AI for solar forecasting, and promoting green EV charging to align demand with renewable supply.
