India is banking on wind power expansion to meet close to a third of its 2030 renewables target. Read more at straitstimes.com.
MUMBAI - As a child, Mr Nandha Kishore S.R. was fascinated by the wind turbine installed at a wind energy institute near his home in southern India and dreamt of one day operating such equipment.
Mr Kishore, 33, is now pursuing a PhD in artificial intelligence in a bid to remain indispensable as the wind power industry relies increasingly on technology - and to insulate himself from any job uncertainties in the future. “India and other parts of the world may not be able to achieve net-zero ambitions unless wind energy is exploited to its full potential,” Mr Shardul said.
Solar plants, on the other hand, largely hire unskilled labour for cutting grass and cleaning panels. These measures should infuse life into the sector but may not be able to create jobs quickly or at scale, analysts said. Mr Sumant Sinha, chairman and CEO of renewable energy producer ReNew, pointed to a “talent crunch in the industry”, flagging the need for companies to invest in skills development and training for their workers.
“Projects were delayed or not commissioned. Orders were placed, but machines were not picked up as windmill installations had stopped. Thousands in the wind energy supply chain lost jobs,” said one manufacturer who did not wish to be identified.
