英文摘要 | India’s economy is growing rapidly, and with it, so is energy demand. The IEA-IEO (2015) estimates that India’s aggregate energy consumption will more than double by 2040. The Government of India plans to install 175 GW of renewable energy projects by 2022 and 275 GW by 2027. This means that renewable energy generation will contribute about 20.3% and 24.2% of the total electricity requirement in 2021-22 and 2026-27, respectively. This four-report series, led by Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), Indian School of Business (ISB), Dr. Meeta Keswani Mehra from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and Dr. Saptarshi Mukherjee from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Delhi) and partially supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, looks at paths to renewable energy penetration in India along different dimensions including the social costs, macroeconomic impacts, environmental impacts, financial risk, and flexibility considerations. Financial Performance and Risk Perception This report compares the historical and present-day financial performance and risk profile of the renewable energy and fossil fuel power sectors, in order to inform investors and policymakers. Key findings include:
What it Means for the Economy, Jobs, and Energy Security This report examines macroeconomic impacts of India’s renewable energy pathway. By establishing the relationship – negative, positive, or neutral – between key macroeconomic factors and renewable energy, the report examines the opportunities to meet economic and clean energy targets simultaneously. Key findings include:
Managing India’s Renewable Energy Integration through Flexibility This report examines the challenge of managing India’s renewable energy growth with increased flexibility in the system. This component specifically tries to address the dual issue of flexibility and stranded assets and looks at the plausibility of using existing coal-based power plants as flexibility reserves. Key findings include:
