MUMBAI: Karnataka and Gujarat have surpassed Maharashtra for effective integration of renewable energy sources in power sector, thereby showcasing strong strides in decarbonisation. Maharashtra, on the other hand, missed out to be a top performer due to “low share in renewable energy consumption” among other factors, revealed a latest report released on Tuesday by Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and Ember.
“The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited, a state discom, was responsible for approximately 90% of total power purchased by discoms in the state, and it scored low in the rating, thus lowering the state’s overall score,” the report stated.
