Conference: Investments for a Sustainable Tamil Nadu: Reforms and Strategies for the Power Sector
Organised by XKDR Forum and TrustBridge.
Given the vast magnitudes of investment required in the energy transition, and given the limitations of Indian public finance, the main path to energy transition investment lies in private investment. Only domestic and foreign private sectors have the scale of resourcing required to terminate contracts with coal-fired plants and build a new world of renewables and storage. This process faces limitations which are collectively bucketed as ‘investability’. One of the most important states in India from the perspective of energy transition is Tamil Nadu. It was one of the first states in India to have achieved almost universal electrification and was also at the forefront of the transition to renewables — both wind and solar — in the country.
In this conference, we present a review of the electricity sector in Tamil Nadu – through a collection of facts and evidence about the sector and the state that can form the basis of policy proposals to improve investability for transition finance.
