2. Data Description and Presentation

Data Description	The statistics represent information about electricity installed capacity and el ectricity generation from Non-RE sources and from various sources of Renewable Energy viz. Solar, Wind,Hydro and Bio Power. At national and state levels, the analysis is limited to installed capacity and electricity generation from utility scale power projects .For international statistics ,data includes electricity installed capacity and electricity generation from both utility scale and non-utility scale power projects.
System of Classification	Cumulative installed capacity and electricity generation from Non RE and from various sources of Renewable Energy viz. Solar, Wind, Hydro and Bio Power at international, national and state level.
International/National Standards Classification etc.	N/A
Sector Coverage	Electricity Installed Capacity and Electricity generation from Non Renewable Energy and Renewable Energy sources. At national level, data represents in respect of utility scale power projects, whereas at international level, data represents both utility scale and non-utility scale power projects.
Concepts and Definitions	Electricity Installed Capacity and Electricity generation from Non Renewable Energy and Renewable Energy sources such as Solar, Wind , Hydro and Bio Power their Growth and share over the years.
Unit of Compilation	National and States/UTs
Population Coverage	Electricity Installed Capacity and Electricity generation from Non Renewable Energy and Renewable Energy sources such as Solar, Wind , Hydro and Bio Power their Growth and share over the years at national and international levels.
Reference Period	Reference period for the Publication of “Renewable Energy Statistics 2024-25″ is the financial year 2024- 25 and the previous financial years since 2014-15
Duration and Period of Enumeration	Publication is based on secondary data
Sample Size / Dataset Size	No sample selection as data represents the overall electricity installed capacity and electricity generation at national, state and international level

4. Quality Management

Documentation on Methodology	Publication is based on secondary published data. So specific statistical methodology is not there except calculation of share , growth etc
Quality Documentation	Data is based on secondary published sources.
Quality Assurance	Data is based on secondary published sources.

5. Accuracy and Reliability

Sampling Error	No sampling involved.
Measures of Reliability	Measurement of parameters are not involved.

6. Timeliness

Timeliness	Electricity installed capacity of utility scale power projects under Non-RE and RE sources are available within one month after the reference year. Electricity generation is available within two months of reference year. In respect of international data on electricity installed capacity, is published within three months of completion of a reference year by IRENA and international electricity generation data is published within 19 months after the end of the reference year.
