India is densely populated and has high solar insolation, an ideal combination for using solar power in India. India is already a leader in wind power generation (Wind power in India). India is one of the pioneering industries in the world generate non-conventional energy, in this case, wind energy. In the solar energy sector, some large projects have been proposed, and a 35,000 km2 area of the Thar Desert has been set aside for solar power projects, sufficient to generate 700 GW to 2,100 GW (gigawatt).
In July 2009, India unveiled a US$19 billion plan, to produce 20 GW of solar power by 2020.
Under the plan, the use of solar-powered equipment and applications would be made compulsory in all government buildings including hospitals and hotels.
On November 18, 2009, it was reported that India was ready to launch its National Solar Mission under the National Action Plan on Climate Change, with plans to generate 1,000 MW of power by 2013
Latent potential
Some noted think-tanks recommend that India should adopt a policy of developing solar power as a dominant component of the renewable energy mix, since being a densely populated region in the sunny tropical belt, the subcontinent has the ideal combination of both high solar insolation and a big potential consumer base density. In one of the analyzed scenarios, while reining on its long-term carbon emissions without compromising its economic growth potential, India can make renewable resources like solar the backbone of its economy by 2020.
Vardaan (as SEATCO's Akshya Urja in association with Ministry of Renewable Energy, Govt. of India and Maharashtra Energy Development Agency, Govt. of India) has come up with a new idea to empower our business associates across India.
