Greening C&I Segment’s Electricity Consumption: CEEW
🗓️01 Aug 📍India Habitat Centre New Delhi
The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is one of Asia’s leading not-for-profit policy research institutions. The Council uses data, integrated analysis, and strategic outreach to explain – and change – the use, reuse, and misuse of resources. The Council addresses pressing global challenges through an integrated and internationally focused approach. It prides itself on the independence of its high-quality research, develops partnerships with public and private institutions, and engages with the wider public. CEEW once again featured extensively across nine categories in the ‘2019 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report’, including being ranked as South Asia’s top think tank (15th globally) with an annual operating budget of less than USD 5 million for the seventh year in a row. In 2016, CEEW was also ranked 2nd in India, 4th outside Europe and North America, and 20th globally out of 240 think tanks as per the ICCG Climate Think Tank’s standardised rankings. In 2013 and 2014, CEEW was rated as India’s top climate change think-tank as per the ICCG standardised rankings. In over 10 years of operations, The Council has engaged in more than 270 research projects, published well over 200 peer-reviewed books, policy reports and papers, engaged with governments around the world over 670 times, helped state governments with water and irrigation reforms, and organised more than 350 seminars and conferences.
📣Greening Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Segment’s Electricity Consumption
The C&I segment, which accounts for 37% of total electricity demand in demand, which contributes significantly to India’s greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions.
The upcoming CEEW Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF) Dialogue will bring together experts to discuss how Unlocking India’s renewable energy open access (OA) potential. It will also provide a demonstration of CEEW-CEF’s OA calculator, which can solve for challenges like opacity around OA charges, effective landed cost of power, and resulting savings.
The Centre for Energy Finance at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW-CEF) is pleased to invite you to a Dialogue on ‘Greening C&I Segment’s Electricity Consumption’ on 01 August 2023, 1000 – 1400 IST at Casuarina Hall, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
Electricity generation accounts for 40 per cent of India’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A significant share of these emissions comes from the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment, which accounts for 37 per cent of total electricity demand. Consequently, to reduce GHG emissions and supply green electricity to consumers, the country has set a target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil-based generating capacity by 2030. Renewable energy (RE) capacity added through open access (OA) can contribute significantly to the achievement of national targets.
The Dialogue will feature a demonstration of CEEW-CEF’s ‘Advanced Open Access Landed Cost Calculator’ (OA calculator), a session on first-hand perspectives of RE open access developers and consumers and a panel discussion on ‘Unlocking India’s RE open access potential’.
