Green Public Procurement in the Energy Sector
This project explores the Green Public Procurement (GPP) process, focusing on operational tools that incorporate environmental considerations into procurement operations. It presents a comprehensive analysis of GPP interventions across key stages of the energy procurement cycle: generation, transmission, and distribution. The study highlights three pivotal sub-sectors—BEE's star labelling program, heavy machinery, and renewable energy—specifically rooftop solar electricity distribution in residential areas. These sub-sectors align with government policies aiming to enhance energy savings, improve production efficiency, and transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources.
By greening the energy supply chain, these areas demonstrate significant potential for driving sustainable consumption and production systems. The study’s primary objective is to provide an overarching perspective on GPP in India's energy sector to inform policy development. The objectives are:
Evaluation of challenges and opportunities through interactions with key stakeholders, a. An empirical assessment (cost-benefit analysis) of green public procurement of rooftop solar PV in the residential sector, and
b. Development of key recommendations relating to green public procurement in the energy sector.
Through these evaluations, the study aimed to advance the integration of sustainable practices in India's energy procurement, fostering an environmentally resilient energy framework.
