The potential of corporate renewable electricity demand to influence India’s renewables growth

Only about 6% of total C&I demand is met from direct procurement of renewable power. Open access and rooftop solar assume a dominant share in this market but face multiple challenges. Other procurement routes including Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Green Tariffs (GT) and Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) can play a vital role in enhancing RE adoption and growth. This report examines role of corporate demand in overall RE growth and pros and cons of different procurement routes.
