Energetica Brings REconnect to Guwahati on June 25 to Highlight Northeast India’s Clean Energy Growth

Under the theme 'Accelerating Northeast India’s Clean Energy Transition Through Solar, Storage and Energy Access', REconnect Summit North-East 2026 in Guwahati will bring together key stakeholders from across the RE ecosystem to explore the region's growing role in India's energy transition and its emergence as a new frontier for clean energy investment

The inaugural North-East edition of the REconnect Summit, organised by Energetica India Magazine, is scheduled to be held on June 25, 2026, at Vivanta by Taj, Guwahati, Assam. Marking the first time that Energetica is hosting REconnect in North-East India, the summit will focus on unlocking the vast renewable energy potential of the region and accelerating its integration into India's broader clean energy growth story.

With abundant solar resources, significant hydropower potential, increasing policy support, improving transmission connectivity and a growing focus on energy access, Northeast India is emerging as a strategic destination for renewable energy development. Assam, in particular, is positioning itself as a gateway for clean energy investments in the region through industrial development initiatives, infrastructure expansion and efforts to attract manufacturing investments.

Assam Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2025 have set an ambitious target of 11,700 MW of RE capacity by FY30. This policy offers a strong incentive framework, including concessional land allotment with long-term leases, exemptions from transmission charges, wheeling charges, electricity duty and cross-subsidy surcharges.

The policy also provides financial support for manufacturers of solar panels, batteries, wind equipment and electrolysers. Green hydrogen developers are eligible for 100 percent SGST reimbursement and capital subsidies on electrolysers.

Further, the Assam Solar Power Promotion Policy 2025 targets 3,500 MW of solar capacity by March 2030 across ground-mounted, floating and rooftop projects, along with BESS, and allows the state government to hold up to 27 percent equity in projects.

Further, Japan’s proposed investment in Assam’s semiconductor manufacturing and innovation ecosystem is expected to create new opportunities for clean energy deployment, energy storage solutions and sustainable industrial growth. These developments are likely to increase demand for reliable renewable power while strengthening the case for establishing local renewable energy supply chains and manufacturing capabilities.

Designed as a full-day forum, REconnect North-East 2026 will bring together policymakers, state nodal agencies, DISCOMs, developers, EPC companies, manufacturers, investors, and technology providers to discuss pathways for accelerating renewable energy adoption across the North-Eastern states.

Dr. Jaideep Baruah, Director, Assam Science Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC) and Director, Assam Energy Development Agency (AEDA), will be the Guest of Honour. Through his keynote address, he will emphasise the role of policy and regulations clarity in fostering renewable energy projects development by boosting investors’ confidence and helping RE and BESS expansion in the state.

The summit has garnered support from prominent industry players, including Adani Solar, Solis, Feston S.E.V. Technologies, Joint Solar, Zuvay Technologies, Gautam Solar, Pom Systems and Services (POM Power), Oswal Solar, Pahal Solar, Cosmic PV Power, Anand E-Beam Cables, ADM Solar, iTorrent Industries, True Power Ltd. and Aimbeez Energia. Pan India Solar Sector Association (PISSA) and North East Region Renewable Energy Developers Association (NERREDA) are the industry association partners for the event.

Featuring high-level panel discussions, expert presentations and focused networking opportunities, REconnect North-East 2026 will examine critical issues shaping the region's clean energy future, including rooftop solar deployment, domestic manufacturing opportunities, energy storage adoption and improving energy access in remote and underserved areas.

The discussions during the event will revolve around:

PM Surya Ghar: Accelerating Rooftop Solar Adoption in Northeast India – A comprehensive discussion on rooftop solar opportunities across the region, including PM Surya Ghar implementation, financing models and subsidy support, strengthening net-metering and DISCOM infrastructure, consumer awareness initiatives, opportunities for local EPCs and installers, and the role of decentralised solar systems in rural and semi-urban areas.
Solar Manufacturing and Supply Chain: Building a Self-Reliant Renewable Ecosystem – An assessment of opportunities for Assam and Northeast India within India's expanding solar manufacturing landscape, covering module, structure and component manufacturing, advancements in TOPCon and next-generation solar technologies, ALMM and PLI-linked opportunities, and the development of industrial infrastructure to support manufacturing investments.
Energy Storage and BESS: Enabling Reliable Renewable Power in Northeast India – Insights into the growing role of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for renewable integration, grid stability, peak demand management and round-the-clock renewable energy supply. The session will also examine solar-plus-storage solutions for remote regions, financing mechanisms for storage projects, and future opportunities linked to EV charging infrastructure and distributed energy systems.

Organised by Energetica India Magazine, the REconnect Summit Guwahati 2026 will serve as a premier platform for collaboration among government officials, industry leaders, technology innovators and investors. The event aims to highlight emerging opportunities, encourage knowledge exchange and strengthen Northeast India's position as a key contributor to India's renewable energy ambitions.

Stay tuned for more updates as REconnect North-East 2026 brings the region's renewable energy potential into sharper focus and charts new pathways for sustainable growth, energy access and clean energy investment.
