Energy Ensemble - April 2014

In this issue

Facts First. India is the fourth largest energy consuming nation in the world with an energy import bill of $150 billion which is expected to hit a whopping $300 billion by 2030. Out of the power generation capacity of 2,27,356,73 MW, around 28184.35 MW, that is, only 12.4 per cent is renewable energy.

In order to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, the Government of India is providing incentives like GBIs, tax holidays, a liberal atmosphere for FDI etc apart from initiatives like the PAT scheme, the market transformation for energy efficiency (MTEE), energy-efficiency financing platform and the like. India is an attractive market for renewable energy due to both the availability of high solar radiance, wind speeds, as well as power deficit.

Energy Ensemble Magazine Description:
