Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n

The<\/span> Institute<\/span> for<\/span> Energy<\/span> Economics<\/span> and<\/span> Financial<\/span> Analysis<\/span> (IEEFA)<\/span> and<\/span> Ember has recently released a <\/span>report<\/span> titled<\/span> “Indian<\/strong><\/span> States’ Energy <\/strong>Transition<\/strong>“.<\/span> The report highlighted the glaring inequality in the Clean Energy Transition of States. As per the report<\/span>, Karnataka<\/span> now<\/span> has<\/span> the<\/span> best-equipped\u00a0power<\/span> systems<\/span> to<\/span> convert<\/span> its<\/span> electricity<\/span> system<\/span> from<\/span> fossil-powered<\/span> to<\/span> renewable<\/span> energy<\/span> sources,<\/span> followed<\/span> by<\/span> Andhra<\/span> Pradesh<\/span> and<\/span> Gujarat.<\/span> On<\/span> the<\/span> other<\/span> hand,<\/span> Bihar,<\/span> Haryana,<\/span> and<\/span> Uttar<\/span> Pradesh<\/span> did<\/span> the<\/span> worst.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What<\/span> is<\/span> a\u00a0clean<\/span> electricity<\/span> transition<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

This refers<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> shift<\/span> from<\/span> fossil-based<\/span> power<\/span> production<\/span> and<\/span> consumption<\/span> to<\/span> renewable<\/span> energy<\/span> sources<\/span> by<\/span> transforming<\/span> the<\/span> electricity<\/span> sector<\/span> through<\/span> innovative<\/span> policies,<\/span> efficient<\/span> technologies,<\/span> and<\/span> greener<\/span> market<\/span> pulls<\/span> while<\/span> ensuring<\/span> reliable<\/span> supply<\/span> with<\/span> effective<\/span> closed-loop<\/span> systems<\/span> in<\/span> place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An<\/span> effective<\/span> clean<\/span> electricity<\/span> transition<\/span> requires<\/span> a<\/span> timely<\/span> switch<\/span> towards<\/span> a<\/span> clean<\/span> power-fuelled,<\/span> economically<\/span> feasible,<\/span> politically<\/span> viable,<\/span> and<\/span> secure<\/span> system<\/span> that<\/span> can<\/span> create<\/span> value<\/span> for<\/span> business<\/span> and<\/span> society.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the report’s key highlights on the Clean Energy Transition of States?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The<\/span> report<\/span> analyses<\/span> 16<\/span> states<\/span> that<\/span> account<\/span> for<\/span> 90<\/span> percent<\/span> of<\/span> India’s<\/span> yearly<\/span> power<\/span> demand.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Their<\/span><\/span> scores<\/span><\/span> were<\/span><\/span> calculated<\/span><\/span> based on states’ performance<\/span><\/span> on<\/span><\/span> four<\/span><\/span> major<\/span><\/span> dimensions<\/span><\/span>. Such as <\/span><\/span>Decarbonisation<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Performance<\/span><\/span> of<\/span><\/span> the<\/span><\/span> Power<\/span><\/span> System<\/span>,<\/span><\/span> Readiness<\/span><\/span> of<\/span><\/span> the<\/span><\/span> Power<\/span><\/span> Ecosystem, and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Policies<\/span><\/span> and<\/span><\/span> Political<\/span><\/span> Commitments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
