Session brief:

A continuous and timely deployment of renewable energy (RE) is imperative for India’s developmental and climate goals. However, it would require securing large tracts of land, water and other resources that can have impacts on the environment and local communities. Responsible deployment of RE has the potential to mitigate these impacts, thereby de-risking projects, unlocking capital, and providing RE companies a social license to operate.

This event will bring together policymakers, RE companies, and investors, the key stakeholders necessary to realise this vision. It will also see the launch of ‘Guidebook for Responsible Deployment of Renewable Energy’ developed jointly with Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited (KREDL). It is a first-of-its kind document that provides step-by-step guidance for renewable energy developers to deploy projects in a socially inclusive and environmentally responsible manner.
