In a landmark report released this month, Global Energy Monitor reveals that converting recently closed and soon-to-be-retired coal mines into solar farms could boost global solar capacity by nearly 300 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 — a 15% increase over today’s total installed solar base.
India could host 27 GW on 500 km² of coal land, much of it in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh — coal heartlands with growing renewable energy needs. Repurposed coal mines are not just sites for solar panels. Some are being considered for green hydrogen, battery storage, pumped hydro, or even geothermal energy.
The coal mine to solar transition is underway, and this potential is ready to be unlocked in major coal producers like Australia, the U.S., Indonesia and India. Repurposing mines for solar development offers a rare chance to bring together land restoration, local job creation, and clean energy deployment in a single strategy.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
