TITLE:
“Comprehensive Investigation of the Viability of Solar Power in Delhi- Vision 2020”
INTRODUCTION:
Currently most of Delhi’s electricity comes from thermal power plants which are mostly situated in other states. In 2012, we saw the biggest blackout in the history of the country where half the population was powerless for days. Delhi was severely affected along with other Northern, Eastern and North East states. If 75% of Delhi’s electricity was not generated from coal, and decentralised renewable energy was available, Delhi could have powered itself to a large extent during the grid failure. Unfortunately, Delhi is one of the few states in the country that does not have any policy for alternate sources of energy like wind, solar and biomass. In 2012, in the absence of a policy and roadmap, the state failed to tap into solar and bio-mass energy, especially during the periods of peak demand.
Across Delhi as people suffer in temperatures that are higher than normal, Government’s unfulfilled empty promise is exposed as a pure electioneering tactic that bears little relation to the truth of the serious power problems faced by the people in Delhi and across other cities in India.
The real issue here is the fact that various administrations have failed the people of Delhi; they have not put in place the policies and measures needed to provide adequate, reliable and sustainable power.
It does not have to be like this, there is an answer to this unending problem. The solution is using the very source of energy, that will never run out, and that is the SUN. As in many cities across the world – including
