We advocate for sustainable renewable energy deployment that safeguards the interests of communities and ecology.
Rajasthan is at the forefront of India’s clean energy transition, with a solar potential of 142 GW and a target of 90 GW by 2030. Achieving this would require utilising 3.4% of arid wastelands in the desert districts of Bikaner, Barmer, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer.
While ample land is available for renewable energy deployment, the increasing scale and concentration of projects present significant social, economic, and environmental challenges for local communities.
CEEP examines the complexities of large renewable energy projects and seeks to inform policy, institutions, and stakeholders for proactive risk mitigation and inclusive development at renewable energy sites.

Tracking emerging mechanisms for land acquisition and pooling to inform policy for making it fair, transparent, and consistent for all stakeholders
Developing strategies for renewable energy project siting to mitigate conflicts and environmental impact for inclusive transition
Articulating the distinct connections that desert communities share with their commons, to guide policies and practices for collective stewardship
Undertaking intersectional research to study tensions around major RE sites and exploring mechanisms to mitigate and redress the same
