The Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026 is a flagship platform of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, investors, innovators, researchers and global clean-energy stakeholders to advance India’s renewable energy transition.
The Summit will provide a platform for dialogue, collaboration, investment, innovation and knowledge exchange across the renewable energy ecosystem. Key areas include renewable energy deployment, green hydrogen, energy storage, manufacturing, grid integration, financing, emerging technologies and policy frameworks.
As the Knowledge Partner for the session “Role of Market Instruments in Scaling Renewable Energy Adoption”, CER brings a regulatory and market perspective to the Summit. The discussion will examine how existing and emerging market instruments can support renewable energy deployment while addressing market liquidity, price discovery, grid integration, flexibility, storage, transmission access, consumer participation and investment certainty.
