Abstract
This research evolved around delays observed in renewable projects in India, especially during the pursuit of transitioning to 100% renewable energy, which is an overarching goal worldwide. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Risk Management Adoption, specifically looking at knowledge and implementation, in Public Sector Solar Projects in Kerala. The research targets the awareness, information dissemination, and data collection practices of middle and lower management, aiming to bridge a crucial gap in understanding risk management in this sector. Using a deductive approach and cross-sectional survey strategy, the study collects insights from professionals involved in solar construction projects. By analysing structured survey data from supervisors and engineers with SPSS, the findings emphasise the urgency of addressing delays and the need for improved Risk Management practices. The results and recommendations aim to enhance project management in the renewable energy sector worldwide.
