Abstract

The drive from Ranchi to Hazaribagh in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand is only 65 miles, but it takes nearly three hours. The government-backed Solar Energy Corp. of India, for example, all but eliminated the risk that states would renege on their agreements--a significant worry for the banks that finance such projects--by serving as an intermediary between private-sector developers and states. For decades, electricity production and distribution in India was controlled by state-owned enterprises, from state-owned coal mines to state-owned power plants to the state-owned grid. In December, I spent 10 days in India, visiting coal communities, touring renewable-energy sites, and talking with leaders in the country's political and financial hubs to understand India's approach to the energy transition.
