At the launch of the India Sustainable Growth Hub (ISGH) with @cecfee @The_IGC. One theme is emerging: huge potential for cheap renewables, but also big barriers in deepening markets that enable these technologies to diffuse.

I had a candid conversation with @timsvengali about the research Faraz Hayat, @timdobermann and I did on power purchase agreements in Pakistan. Capacity payments to power generators are more than 6x the annual health, education and social care budget but many plants sit idle.
