IRP Workshop 2: GridPath Configuration and Hands-on Training in Tamil Nadu
To enable India to achieve its long-term national clean energy and emissions reduction commitments, as well as Tamil Nadu’s ambitious 50% RE generation share target by 2030, robust integrated resource planning processes are essential. IRP can help identify the least-cost combinations of supply and end-use efficiency solutions to enable each state to meet its economic and social goals.
Aligned with these objectives, WRI India aims to strengthen the capacity of state institutions/agencies in Tamil Nadu for designing and co-development of IRP to support the state achieve an optimal energy mix, ensure emissions reduction, and achieve clean energy targets. Our partners from Prayas (Energy Group) and the EmLab at the University of California will be supporting this initiative.
Building on the momentum of our inaugural workshop, WRI India is convening the second workshop in this series to continue our IRP capacity-building efforts in Tamil Nadu. This two-day, invite-only event will be held on August 7th and 8th, 2024, and will focus on deepening the understanding of GridPath tool and Tamil Nadu Business-As-Usual Model. The workshop will promote collaboration among key stakeholders, enhance practical application through hands-on sessions, and support the development of a customized IRP tailored to Tamil Nadu’s needs. Through this series, we aim to collectively support Tamil Nadu in meeting its short-term objectives and advancing its long-term aspirations for a clean energy transition.
