Installed renewable capacity per person, July 2026
Sikkim has 3,350 watts of installed renewable capacity per person, Himachal Pradesh 1,726 and Arunachal Pradesh 1,438, against 208 for India and 5 in Bihar. Gujarat has 724 and Rajasthan 612. Jharkhand and Tripura have 14 each.
Policy implication
This is capacity, not electricity generated: solar and wind plants run for a fraction of the year, and large hydro depends on rain. Large hydro is in MoSPI's total (Himachal Pradesh's 12,980 MW is 11,571 MW of large hydro), and small populations push the per-person figure up. Capacity is for July 2026 and population is a 2024 projection.
