Powering Up
Building Climate Resilience into India's Renewable Energy Future
Executive summary
India is building its renewable energy future at
extraordinary speed. However, the climate that
these renewable assets face is already
changing. Acting now – through smarter
design, better site selection and targeted
resilience measures – could protect them from
the worst of the changes to come. A relatively
modest investment of around USD 4.6bn,
equivalent to 2% of the portfolio's replacement
cost, has the potential to reduce the financial
impact of climate risk on India's renewable
energy assets from USD 55bn to USD 27bn.
That is a 6x return on every dollar invested in
resilience.
India’s renewable energy transition is accelerating at unprecedented scale, but climate risk is already reshaping how these assets perform. Building resilience into design, siting and operations now is essential to protect infrastructure, sustain growth and ensure the transition delivers long-term, reliable energy security.
