The joint SOI signifies a shared commitment between GEAPP and NITI Aayog in supporting India's ambitious mission of achieving clean energy independence by 2047 by leveraging their collective expertise and through knowledge sharing. The partnership aims to foster an ecosystem conducive to sustainable development. The focus will be on assessing and thereby providing relevant technical assistance to the government in implementing policies and initiatives on the ground.
The partnership will primarily focus on but not limited to having energy transition upscaled to at least 10 states with a roll-out of 100 GW of RE in the next 3 years. This will involve creating a robust project pipeline including technical assistance. Some of the already existing projects that are tipped to scale include the solarisation of Expressways with a potential to solarise a 6000 km corridor across the country with a generation of 10 GW, women empowerment and access to livelihood targeting about 100,000 women, and digitalisation of utilities that will result in a reduction of losses and enable the viability of utilities. Other than NITI Aayog, GEAPP will seek to partner with state governments, think tanks and sectoral partners.
“By strengthening our commitment to sustainable and energy-independent development, we are taking significant steps toward realizing India’s vision for 2047. Our collaborative efforts will focus on implementing innovative solutions that address pressing challenges, promote inclusivity, and ensure that our initiatives benefit the last mile, said BVR Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog.
“This SoI with NITI Aayog underscores our shared commitment to advancing India’s clean energy goals. By combining our expertise and NITI Aayog’s vision, we aim to support sustainable development goals by fostering partnerships that will help India achieve energy independence by 2047,” said Ravi Venkatesan, Chairman, GEAPP.
The collaborative endeavours outlined in the SOI aim to promote practical insights and impact-based evidence reporting. These will range from in-depth study reports, conferences, stakeholder meetings, and workshops, all aimed at empowering informed decision-making and catalysing positive change. The partnership between GEAPP and NITI Aayog will also support Indian states in developing comprehensive energy transition plans, focusing on sustainable policies, innovative business models, and adopting clean energy solutions. By enabling states to implement fiscal and non-fiscal measures, GEAPP aims to accelerate India’s energy transition and foster inclusive growth.
