Description :

Green solutions across a variety of sectors today are now cheaper than incumbent products powered by fossil fuels, with a virtuous cycle of cost down as they scale up. Examples include distributed solar photovoltaics now costing less than fossil fuel generators, and electric 2-wheeler vehicles being cheaper to own than traditional powertrains. In the face of policy levers that are still being refined and renewable energy infrastructure growth still in its early days, how can the private sector seize this unprecedented opportunity to trigger the green leap for the region’s emerging consumers, and spur sustainable development between now and 2030?
