 Mr Rohit Pathak, President, IEEMA expressed, India has seen rapid growth over the past decade. We are expecting 8x growth in power consumption by 2047, while 7/8th of the infrastructure is yet to be built along with focus on Net Zero, a large part of this share will be built through renewables and new technologies geared for higher efficiency, reliability, and circularity. For IEEMA, Sustainability is a core theme and we look forward to deepening this engagement with Schneider Electric through various other initiatives of IEEMA.

 Schneider Electric will continue to work with IEEMA to make ELECRAMA a carbon-neutral event by facilitating a carbon footprint measurement process, along with devising and implementing a carbon reduction and offset strategy for the event. The company will also devise various interesting installations and creatives at the event to bring focus on sustainability in an all-electric world.

 Schneider Electric believes that the deployment of world-leading processes and energy-efficient technologies would create a positive impact on the environment and society at large. Harnessing the potential of Electricity 4.0 and Next-Gen automation solutions can open new opportunities for the governments and businesses to achieve energy efficiency. As India races towards achieving the goal of net-zero emissions by 2070, the energy sector should take decisive steps to create a sustainable and resilient future.
