Assessment of Clean Energy Transition Potential in Major Power-Producing States of India Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

India has an ambitious target to promote clean energy penetration, but as of 2021, the electricity mix is dominated by coal about 71%. Therefore, analyzing potential and ability individual states entrench transition in upcoming years will be supportive for policymakers. This study propounded assess with a focused analysis on seven major power-producing India. These include Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Andhra Pradesh. The assessment performed utilizing multi-criteria decision methodologies such Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) Multi-Objective Optimization Method Ratio Analysis (MOORA). Further, against four criteria that high carbon resource dependency, low potential, policy support. Altogether, primary level fourteen secondary parameters. In order reflect significance each parameter criterion characteristics appropriate weightage provided using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). results indicate Gujarat highest both methods. On other hand, Pradesh exhibited least performance, complete resources less likely this state. rest obtained intermediate ranking, comparative between two methods was also accomplished. suggests should focus vigorous efforts top-performing which effectively accelerate power sector decarbonization.
