State Energy & Climate Index
The State Energy and Climate Index (SECI) is the first index that aims to track the efforts made by states and UTs in the climate and energy sector. The index is developed by Niti Aayog and hopes “initiate dialogue” and “address policy gaps” that are preventing the sector from achieving its goals.
The index consists of 6 parameters namely, DISCOM’s Performance; Access, Affordability and Reliability; Clean Energy Initiatives; Energy Efficiency; Environmental Sustainability; and New Initiatives. The parameters are further divided into 27 indicators. Based on the composite SECI score, the states and UTs are categorized into three groups: Front Runners, Achievers, and Aspirants.
