Energy Transition: ISEG Foundation is supporting state governments in developing their energy transition blueprints- focused on renewable energy, green transmission grid and circularity that will significantly reduce states carbon and other emissions. ISEG will also support the states during the implementation phase.
ISEG made the blueprint for one state by Q1, 2024, and extensively collaborated on its implementation with the states Energy department and Energy Secretary. The states rank in renewable energy capacity has now moved from #5 to #2, with committed public-private investments of $25billion now signed up, and being implemented.
ISEG is now starting work on the Energy Transition for three major states. For perspective, the energy requirement of the top 10 states of India is equal to 70% of the EUs energy requirement. Overall, these transitions present a complex technical and governance challenge with large scale impact. By playing a lead-role in their blue-printing and implementation, ISEG Foundation is making a significant impact in India achieving its renewable energy aspirations.
To facilitate the state energy transitions, NITI Aayog, in collaboration with the Ministry of Power (MoP) and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), has launched a platform for Accelerating Sustainable State Energy Transition (ASSET).
