Background
Given Jharkhand’s status as the most climate-vulnerable state in India and its heavy reliance on coal- based thermal power consumption, it presents an intriguing opportunity to showcase pathways for decarbonising India and fostering sustainable growth. This can be done by recognizing the challenges of decarbonising the power sector while ensuring reliability and affordability of electricity generation since there are numerous proven technological and commercially viable solutions available.
Set in this context, the Task Force on Sustainable Just Transition, (Government of Jharkhand) in collaboration with the Centre for Environment and Energy Development (CEED) organized a stakeholder consultation on ‘Decarbonising the Power Sector in Jharkhand’ on 14th June, 2023 in Ranchi.
Objectives of the Workshop
To convene key stakeholders from various sectors of the power industry to engage in deliberations to discuss and explore pathways for decarbonizing the power and electricity sector in Jharkhand.
To contribute in facilitating a sustainable energy transition to achieve a net-zero scenario in the state.
