After PMUY, 97% Indian hhs have #access to #LPG. Yet there is no sustained use.
Read our recently published #research paper in @NatureEnergyJnl, where we try to understand the #drivers of sustained use of #LPG in #ruralindia. #airpollution #cleancooking

@ArtfSurvival @carboncopyinfo @hridayeshjoshi Thank you for making this very important point, Nadia @ArtfSurvival.
This is a key theme we highlight in our podcast as well. Curtailment reflects underlying grid, market and flexibility constraints rather than a surplus of #renewables.

[Sunil Mani @sunilmani02]

Glad to be part of this podcast with @carboncopyinfo @hridayeshjoshi on how India’s power sector is evolving, from scaling RE to using it effectively
From grid flexibility & storage to FDRE & #cleancooking, the transition is entering a more complex phase

Drawing on our study on #FDRE at @IISD_Energy, I had the opportunity to contribute to this piece by @hridayeshjoshi in @carboncopyinfo.
It highlights a critical shift in India’s #cleanenergy transition,from capacity addition to ensuring reliable, dispatchable #RE power

Beyond Capacity: Unlocking the Full Potential of India’s Clean Energy
Amid rising West Asia tensions, India’s energy security will depend on how effectively it uses its growing clean power, say experts. What are the challenges and way out .... I write @carboncopyinfo

Had a great conversation with @hridayeshjoshi Sir
on #India’s #CleanCooking transition, and the growing challenges around LPG dependence.
We discuss insights from our latest @IISD_news report, and why electric cooking and biogas could play a much bigger role going forward.

60% LPG और 50% प्राकृतिक गैस होती है आयात! ⛽️ क्या भारत की ऊर्जा सुरक्षा दांव पर है? @IISD_news की रिपोर्ट और एक्सपर्ट सुनील मणि के साथ हमारी खास चर्चा। क्या #BioGas और #ECooking आत्मनिर्भता के लिए एक विकल्प हो सकता है।

Solar irrigation pumps can offer a reliable, clean source of energy—yet in #India many systems are used only part of the year.

Our study with @oorjasolutions looks at opportunities to use spare clean energy to power rural mills & tackle energy poverty.

There are ~35,500 solar water pumps already in operation across Kenya. 🆕 research finds that power from these systems can open new opportunities to:
⬇️energy poverty,
⬆️expand clean cooking, &
⬆️enhance social equity.

As homes and even restaurants shift to more polluting fuels, @IISD_news' @sunilmani02 tells ST in today's story: “This can significantly cause back sliding on the huge gains on clean cooking access that India has been able to achieve in the last decade."

When environment & health impacts are counted, Firm & Dispatchable Renewable Energy isn’t just cleaner—it’s a cheaper & more resilient choice for India’s power future.

Coal’s true cost jumps from ₹4.65 → ₹13.19/kWh, while FDRE stays at ₹4.41–5.86/kWh.

#India needs affordable energy solutions that deliver 24/7 reliable power.

Firm & Dispatchable Renewable Energy can supply clean electricity, boost #EnergySecurity, & reach cost parity with new thermal by 2030.

Electric cooking offers a promising alternative to LPG for 🇮🇳 households.

It:
🔻Reduces reliance on imports
📉 Cuts household costs due to higher efficiency & lower electricity tariffs
🤝 Aligns well with India’s clean energy and net-zero goals

For a truly just energy transition, women must have the power to decide on the solutions that work for them.

IISD's Bathandwa Vazi & @taralaan emphasize gov'ts must listen to women’s experiences and priorities + co-produce policies that reflect these.

Cooking with solid fuels increases indoor air pollution, with women & children most at risk. 🔥🪵

Yet for many low-income households, induction cook stoves remain unaffordable. IISD's @Sunilmani02 explains how targeted gov’t support can reduce pollution & improve health.

India aims to auction 37 GW of #OffshoreWind by 2030,
but it will require bridging a significant funding gap. The #UnionBudget2025 presents an opportunity to address this. I wrote in @EconomicTimes with @anu84 from @CSTEP_India.

New Report—India's support for #CleanEnergy is bearing fruit with the country on track to reach 2030 solar & battery storage goals!

But targeted support & policies are still needed to deliver for offshore wind, EVs & more.
