Sustainable Energy: Powering India’s Offices (CBRE)

Picture this - despite around 43% of the installed power capacity of India being renewable, coal-based thermal power still contributes to almost 75% of its power generation. However, the country is making rapid strides towards achieving its ambitious goal of meeting 50% of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030.

The policy push has been strong, taking cues from which prominent real estate developers have begun to take meaningful steps towards attaining their ESG goals. Renewable energy, more often than not, is the first step towards achieving ESG compliance.

Through CBRE India’s first report on renewable energy, we have tried to answer the below questions and more:

• What is the current state of renewable energy across India?
• What are the policy measures that central and state governments are providing to boost the adoption of renewable energy in the country?
• What are the common challenges that corporate occupiers face in adopting renewable energy and how can they overcome them?
• What are the different renewable energy options available to corporates and how can they access those?
• How are leading office developers in India aligned with sustainable power?
• How can corporates achieve their renewable energy goals?
