Overview

Energize Your Eco-Consciousness

India’s energy sector serves as a prime example of this tenacious leadership built on resilience and determination. In a relatively short time frame, India has established itself as a global energy powerhouse, particularly in critical areas like energy transition. Renewable energy has had a profoundly impactful presence in India, as the nation spearheads the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. 

Furthermore, India is strategically advancing in emerging areas like Green Hydrogen, energy storage, and next-generation clean energy technologies, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening its position as a global energy leader.

Renewable energy is no longer a choice, but a necessity for a greener, cleaner, and brighter future for all.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi

World leaders have taken notice of India’s pioneering efforts, with the country’s commitment to renewable energy playing a pivotal role in shaping India into a global green leader. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has echoed this commitment in his statements, underscoring the significance of renewable energy in India’s energy future.

Nevertheless, the path ahead remains challenging, influenced by global geopolitical developments and their implications for financing and supply chain disruptions. They need to explore tools and strategies to navigate historic price volatility and evolving market dynamics. Importantly, policymakers must harness current industry trends to sow the seeds of an energy future characterized by universal access, affordability, and sustainability.

Renewable Energy Summit 2023

The ET Edge’s Renewable Energy Summit seeks to answer the difficult but crucial questions facing the energy leaders of today. The 2023 version of this initiative by ETEdge will act as a platform for the leaders to gather around a common purpose – identifying the most difficult challenges of the industry today, discussing and debating upon the solutions, and network to gain from the best among each one of them.

The event will witness the best of the minds representing the global, regional and the Indian energy industry convening around an ambitious and modern agenda covering the most significant topics for discussion.
