I have come across a good article regarding Energy security , which is simple, yet sounds logical which quickly cruises through various needs and issues pertaiing to power.
- The government’s integrated energy policy (IEP) estimates that electricity demand will grow 4-5 times by 2030”.
- Social stress by power projects viz conflicting interests ( land, water ) , displacement etc.
- Also a Need to emphasize on energy efficiency and conservation awareness along with increase in production - National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency
- Should Augment with renewable energy resources ( RER )- India has a grid-connected renewable energy capacity of 17GW, which is one-tenth of total power generation capacity.
- Problem with RER – cost – wind power cost 50% than coal – goal of 15% RE in power – price for solar power is nearly six times that of coal and four times that of wind power increase in tariff – pinch on poor
- Need for innovation - National Clean Energy Fund – clean energy technology – RE manufacturing industry – main driver in infrastructure inclusion
