The 2024 Indian States’ Electricity Transition (SET) report by IEEFA and EMBER finds that Gujarat and Karnataka have effectively integrated renewable energy into their power sectors, shown adequate preparedness to further the electricity transition and have robust market enablers to facilitate future growth of clean electricity. The two states’ consistent performance over several different parameters across two iterations of the report highlights their strength when it comes to electricity transition. States such as Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan exhibited considerable progress in certain aspects but the progress has not been consistent across all the dimensions.
At the same time, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh move more slowly than others again this year, despite the changes to the assessment parameters. They need to prioritise comprehensive strategies and interventions to foster sustainable growth and transition in their power sectors. It recommends the strengthening of state-level regulatory frameworks and prioritising state-level transition plans and trajectories for broad-based progress towards electricity transition at a subnational level.
