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’.
