The study uses data analytics and flow charts to illustrate trends, and provides comprehensive references to support the analysis. 1. Evolution of the Indian Power Sector (1999-2024) 1999-2009: Initial Reforms and Growth Privatization and Regulation : Introduction of Electricity Act 2003, unbundling of state electricity boards. Capacity Addition : Significant increase in installed capacity, focus on coal-fired power plants. Technology Adoption : Gradual introduction of supercritical technolog

Implementing some of the best practices in the renewable energy sector under Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions can contribute to sustainability and cover the environmental goals. Below are some of the best practices that can be implemented to minimize the carbon emissions: Scope 1: Direct Emissions 1. Renewable Energy Integration As renewable generating plants like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are producing electricity is renewable, operation and maintenance activities in the respective sector, replace or reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Invest more in technologies like bio-fuels, Organic waste to energy, and other energy storage systems which can lead to sustainability 2. Energy Efficiency Adopting more energy-efficient technologies and practices in minimizing overall energy consumption. Periodic maintenance and upgradation can improve the efficiency of the system. 3. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Exploring more options and invest in carbon capture technologies to reduce or eliminate
