Mercom India, a leading clean energy research and communications firm, has announced the fourth edition of its flagship event, the Mercom India Renewables Summit, slated to take place on July 25 and 26, 2024.

The Summit, a must-attend event in India’s annual renewable energy calendar, brings together industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators in a collaborative effort to chart the course towards a sustainable energy future.

Since its founding in 2009, Mercom India has been at the forefront of providing media, communications, and research services for clean energy organizations across India.

With its expertise in Indian cleantech markets, Mercom has gained international recognition for its contributions to the clean energy sector in India and beyond.

Unique in its exclusive focus on advancing the Indian government’s renewable energy goals, the Mercom India Renewables Summit promises to be a vital catalyst for shaping the future of clean energy in India.

Set against the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious commitment to achieve net-zero emissions for India by 2070 and install 500 GW of non-fossil fuel electricity capacity by 2030, the Mercom India Renewables Summit 2024 serves as a crucial platform for decision-makers, thought leaders and key stakeholders to strategize and innovate.

CEO of Mercom Capital Group, Raj Prabhu, emphasized the urgency of the energy transition goals, stating, ” As we mark the fourth year of our Summit, the urgency of accomplishing the energy transition goals has never been greater. While the ambitious goal of achieving 450 GW of renewables by 2030 presents tremendous opportunities, the industry needs policy certainty and incentives to attract investments to compete in this global, multi-trillion-dollar industry. The Summit is the epicenter to explore real tangible solutions and make the deals that propel the industry forward.”

Over the past four years, the Mercom India Renewables Summit has continuously evolved and expanded its horizons to accommodate the changing landscape of clean energy.

While it has diversified its discussions and formats, the core objective remains consistent – translating policy and ambition into actionable outcomes.

Key Themes and Discussions

The two-day Summit will be held at the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi and will feature engaging panel discussions addressing the impact of recent and forthcoming policy decisions.

These discussions will span various technologies, including solar, wind, energy storage, and green hydrogen. Key topics of discourse will encompass the regulatory framework, the latest technological advancements, supply chain challenges, and the requisite investments to facilitate the seamless integration of renewables into India’s energy mix.

Continuing from last year, the 2024 Summit will also host two celebrated side events: the Mercom India Awards and the Cleantech Startup Pitch Competition.

The Mercom India Awards, recognized as one of the solar industry’s most prestigious accolades, will shine the spotlight on the sector’s transformation and honor outstanding achievements.

The popular Cleantech Startup Pitch Competition will showcase the industry’s most innovative startups, allowing them to present their novel technologies and solutions to potential investors, further fostering innovation and growth.
