The Stakeholders’ Meet featured two thematic sessions, ‘Reimagining Industry through Green Molecules’ and ‘The Changing Energy Landscape: Distributed Renewables and New Energy Markets,’ bringing together policymakers, industry leaders and financial institutions to deliberate on emerging opportunities and challenges shaping India’s energy transition.

The first session, “Reimagining Industry through Green Molecules,” explored the role of green hydrogen and its derivatives in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors and creating new avenues for industrial growth. The session covered opportunities for domestic production and emerging applications, along with the policy support, infrastructure, technology and financing required to develop green molecule markets on a scale.

The second session, ‘The Changing Energy Landscape: Distributed Renewables and New Energy Markets,’ examined the evolving role of distributed RE in India. Key areas of discussion included greater consumer participation, integration of distributed energy resources and emerging market mechanisms, as well as the policy and regulatory frameworks needed to facilitate their effective integration and support the expansion of renewable energy.

As SECI marks 15 years of service to the nation, its cumulative achievements stand at over 41 GW of renewable energy generation capacity commissioned through third-party developers, power sale agreements of over 67 GW signed with various DISCOMs/consumers and cumulative market investments enabled for about INR 3.6 lakh crores. The company is rapidly scaling with its own projects' portfolio as well and is also active in promoting energy storage, green hydrogen and allied areas.
