A new report, “Synchronizing energy transitions towards possible Net-Zero for India: Affordable and clean energy for all”, has been launched by Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India. The report was prepared by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) under a project agreed in November 2021 by the PSA Office. The aims of the project were to carry out a comprehensive study looking at methods for minimising the cost of power at the consumer end and to work out an optimum mix for all sources of power to reach net-zero emissions.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the second cohort of communities selected as part of the Communities Local Energy Action Program (Communities LEAP), a technical assistance initiative intended to assist disadvantaged communities and those with historical ties to fossil fuel industries take control of their clean energy future. The 30 selected communities will receive a total of $18m in technical assistance to develop action plans that “reduce local air pollution, increase energy resilience, lower utility costs and energy burdens, and create good paying jobs”.

The French government will need to take important decisions to ensure the country gets on track to meet its 2050 net-zero emissions goal, particularly in terms of plans to modernise its nuclear power fleet, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). It said the country may need to delay the planned closure of its 12 oldest reactors by 2035 in order to ensure sufficient supply due to the slow pace of growth in renewable energy.
