Strategic Initiatives

IFGE proposes several initiatives to foster the integrated development of green energy across the country:

1. Development of a Green Energy Map for All States: While supporting policies exist to promote renewable energy development within India, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive, updated state-wise resource assessment for all renewable energy sources. Developing a renewable energy map for each state will provide a complete overview of the distribution of various renewable energy sources. This mapping will enhance the understanding of green energy's potential and address regional imbalances, ultimately strengthening India's green energy status.
