2. Data Description and Presentation

Data Description	The statistics represent information about electricity installed capacity and electricity generation from Non-RE sources and various Renewable Energy sources such as Solar, Wind, Hydro and Bio Power at national and state levels. International statistics include data from both utility scale and non-utility scale power projects.
System of Classification	Cumulative installed capacity and electricity generation from Non-RE and Renewable Energy sources such as Solar, Wind, Hydro and Bio Power at international, national and state levels.
International / National Standards	International System of Units (SI): Gigawatt (GW) for installed capacity and Tera Watt Hour (TWh) / Billion Units (BU) for electricity generation.
Sector Coverage	Electricity installed capacity and electricity generation from Non-Renewable Energy and Renewable Energy sources. National data covers utility-scale projects, while international data includes both utility and non-utility scale 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, including their growth and share over the years.
Unit of Compilation	Gigawatt (GW) for installed capacity; Gigawatt Hour (GWh) and Billion Units (BU) for electricity generation.
Population Coverage	Electricity installed capacity and electricity generation from Non-Renewable Energy and Renewable Energy sources at national and international levels.
Reference Period	Reference period for “Renewable Energy Statistics 2024–25” is FY 2024–25 and 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 overall electricity installed capacity and electricity generation at national, state and international levels.
