Powering Through: A Climate Resilient Future

The document emphasizes that climate resilience in India's power sector is essential for sustainable development and economic growth. It recommends moving beyond disaster response toward adaptive planning and technical upgrades, such as energy storage and grid hardening, supported by innovative financing from financial institutions.

• Climate resilience in the power sector is essential for India's energy security, the success of its energy transition, and its economic growth ambitions.
• To achieve climate resilience beyond disaster risk response, India should adopt iterative and adaptive planning alongside technical solutions including energy storage, flexibility, islanding capability, and grid hardening—particularly at the distribution end where design and construction standards are often poor.
• The transition toward a climate-resilient power system requires financial institutions to provide innovative financing mechanisms to enable the experimentation and scaling of solutions.
