Indian states' electricity transition (SET)

Karnataka and Gujarat are the Indian states making the most progress in overall preparedness and commitment in the transition to clean electricity, this new joint report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and Ember shows. The report analyses 16 Indian states, which together account for 90% of the country’s annual power requirement, across four dimensions. The dimensions track a state’s preparedness to shift away from fossil-fuel-based power, its ability to incentivise greener market participation, its power system's reliability and its policies pushing for power sector decarbonisation. Based on this analysis, the report authors devised the States’ Electricity Transition (SET) scoring system, which measures the performance of the different states in the transition to clean electricity.
