Abstract:
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG-7) prioritizes achieving widespread, affordable, and sustainable access to clean energy for everyone. India's commitment to attaining SDG-7 needs the promotion of clean energy adoption. This article aims to identify and rank the critical factors influencing clean energy adoption in India. First, a literature review was used, followed by expert input, revealing eleven factors. An integrated framework combining the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), interpretive structural modeling (ISM), and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) was used, identifying six causal and five effect factors, such as technology reliability and political initiatives. It stresses NGO-government collaboration and the power sector's role in raising public awareness.
