The ESG Blueprint: Augmenting Green Power and Optimising Efficiency in Modern Offices

India's resolve to achieve net zero emissions by 2070 remains on a strong footing, underpinned by the nation having achieved the milestone of 50% of its installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in 2025 —five years ahead of its original 2030 target. The country’s total installed power capacity stands at 509.6 GW, with approximately 52% (262.7 GW) derived from non-fossil sources, surpassing the 48% (246.9 GW) generated from fossil fuels.

CBRE Research introduces The ESG Blueprint: Augmenting Green Power and Optimising Efficiency in Modern Offices. This report aims to highlight the landscape of clean energy in India’s commercial office real estate sector through:

• Strategies to augment the capacity and usage of renewable energy for office buildings, reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.
• Specific interventions to limit emissions from the built environment at both the campus and building levels through smart energy design principles and efficient systems

The report highlights different renewable energy procurement options and key strategies for landlords and occupiers to harness green energy effectively. The report also details campus and building level strategies to minimise energy use. It goes on to highlight key renewable energy adoption targets and initiatives by leading developers and REITs, while providing a strategic road map for both landlords and occupiers for embedding green energy into the fabric of modern office developments.
