Renewable Power Generation Indian Scenario: A Review

Nagamani, Chilakapati

Abstract-India is faced with the major challenges of (a) providing energy access to all its citizens, (b) heavy dependence on fuel imports for energy security, and (c) complying with international protocols on climate change mitigation, although the economic and social development is the foremost priority. The increase in energy demand due to growing population and industrialization in the face of depleting fossil fuel resources has stimulated the country's efforts in adopting power generation from renewable energy sources. Starting with 0.34 GW (2%) out of 17 GW of the country's total installed capacity in the year 2002, the share of renewable power generation has reached 31.7 GW (12.5%) of 250 GW as of 2014. In the aspect of total installed renewable power generation, India occupies the fifth position in the world today. While the governmental policies have steadily encouraged the adoption of renewable power generation, there is need and potential for more vigorous engagement in pursuit of achieving power for all citizens along with economic development. This article presents a brief review of emergence and growth of renewable power generation in India, wind and solar sectors in particular.
