KEY POINTS
· Many recent natural disasters highlight and foreshadow India’s heightened risk from the impacts of climate change.
· In this context, the mass roll-out of distributed renewable energy (DRE) technology throughout India can facilitate India’s development goals, by providing clean, reliable energy access to all.
· The policies being followed in DRE are aimed not only at increasing energy access for the underserved, but also to minimise environmental degradation and enhance adaptive capacity.
· Thus, making DRE a logical policy response largely because it respects the sustainable development aspirations of India.
· DRE projects are often overlooked by climate investors and policymakers because most distributed projects are small-scale and dispersed.
· Smaller investments in multiple projects increase the administrative and monitoring costs for investors.
· The case for DRE based on its potential to decarbonise energy supply and usage, climate resilience and to meet SDG 7—must be reinforced strongly at these summits.
· As per the International Energy Agency, through 2030, renewable energy sources will power an estimated 60% of new access connections.
· The renewable-energy targets that India has set for itself of installing 175 GW of clean energy capacity by 2022 can be achieved much faster with the help of DRE projects.
