Responsible Renewable Energy Summit 2026, India

India’s renewable energy transition is entering a decisive decade. Capacity is scaling rapidly, but the true test lies in how this transition unfolds. There is an urgent need to move beyond commitments and frameworks toward practical, on-the-ground implementation.

This year's edition of the Responsible Renewable Energy Summit, convened by Responsible Energy Initiative (REI) India, is designed as a working forum to close the gap between principle and practice. The Summit brings together decision-makers and practitioners across industry, finance, government, and civil society to address the operational, governance, and investment challenges shaping renewable energy deployment.

This is not a traditional conference. It is a solutions-focused platform to interrogate trade-offs, strengthen safeguards, accelerate responsible supply chains, and build practical pathways that deliver renewable energy systems that are ecologically safe, rights-respecting, and socially just.

If you are shaping, financing, procuring, regulating, or implementing renewable energy, your leadership matters. Participation is intentionally limited to enable meaningful dialogue, collaborative problem-solving, and hands-on engagement through interactive labs and leadership sessions. Confirmed participants will receive full event and lab registration details.

Thank you for the overwhelming response. Registrations are now closed.
We look forward to welcoming all confirmed participants at the event.

The next phase of India’s energy transition

It highlights the growing need for collaborative, systems-based approaches that balance rapid deployment with long-term social and ecological resilience.

The Five Capitals - a framework for sustainability

The Five Capitals Model provides a basis for understanding sustainability in terms of the economic concept of wealth creation or ‘capital’. Any organisation will use five types of capital to deliver its products or services. A sustainable organisation will maintain and where possible enhance these stocks of capital assets, rather than deplete or degrade them.

Sustainability and system change

Climate change, malnutrition, inequality, poverty, ecological degradation. The global challenges we face are so urgent and tricky that we need a solution to match their scale and complexity. This is where system change comes in. We use systems thinking to understand the web of interrelations that create complex problems, anticipate unintended consequences, and identify how and where to take action to meet the SDG goals.
