Energy Transition
Jharkhand is an ideal case for enabling a just energy transition, as it is predominantly reliant on fossil fuels and thermal power for its energy needs. The state has immense resources and opportunities to enable an energy transition towards more efficient and cleaner forms of energy generation and consumption. Therefore, it is vital to envision comprehensive long-term energy transition pathways considering the local characteristics of the state.
The Task Force is conducting long-term energy transition assessments and modelling analyses to better inform long-term planning, policy-making, and development of a decision-support tool.
Key Objectives
Long-term energy demand projections by creating baseline scenarios and comprehensive mapping of the current energy system across Jharkhand. The projections consider various factors such as electrification in transportation, industry, and other sectors.
Renewable energy potential assessments for all commercially available renewable energy technologies to meet energy security goals.
Jharkhand-specific energy model based on techno-economic factors will be built to assess various long-term energy transition scenarios.
Socio-economic assessments of the different energy transition pathways for enabling sustainable just transition policies in Jharkhand.
