Why SPL @ REI Matters More
Than Ever
India’s green energy goals are no
secret 500 GW of nonfossil capacity
by 2030 is an audacious target. But
ambition alone won’t light a bulb.
According to recent industry data,
1.7 million skilled professionals will
be required in the renewable energy
sector by 2027. Currently, we face a
shortfall of over 1.2 million.
This is where SPL Season 5 hits the
mark. Hosted within REI 2025’s
vibrant ecosystem of innovation,
policy, and investment, SPL directly
addresses the skills gap by recogniz-
ing,
rewarding,
and
recruiting
hands-on solar talent.
Who Can Participate?
The SPL is open to all solar profes-
sionals, training centers, and even
freelancers. Whether you’re an ITI
graduate looking for your big break,
or a solar installer who wants to
prove your mettle, this is your
spotlight.

green leap forward. I
