"Moving from Megawatt to Giga-watt†Non-Conventional Energy 2015.â€

Abstract

The power generation shortfall in India is estimated at 11% of the total energy, and 15% of the peak capacity requirements and these figures are likely to increase. This is despite the fact that the country is already consuming more than 2 million barrels of imported oil a day - a figure that is growing by about 10 percent annually. It is increasing day by day which we have to achieve. The Planning Commission of India estimates that the country will have to increase its capacity for power generation by about seven times its present capacity to sustain its growth. In the absence of feasible Non-Conventional energy options, this will mean more fossil-fuel based power plants. This is neither a sustainable proposition nor a climate and eco-friendly option to avoid and pollution. The way forward is to use conventional energy efficiently while simultaneously building the country's Non-Conventional energy capabilities in India and its different states for generation of power which fulfil current need and requirement of our state and country. This paper focus on Non-Conventional energy generation of the project from Megawatt to Giga-watt. Policy made by state and central Government to achieve this aim.
