Climate Change Though per capita Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are low, India stands third after US and China in GHG emissions Power sector in India accounts for 38% of GHG emissions in the country In Telangana coal based thermal power plants contribute more than 80% of electricity supplied Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency will lead to lower GHG emissions Government of India plans to reduce GHG emissions intensity of GDP by 20 – 25% over 2005 levels by 2020 National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) (June 30, 2008): Two Missions out of eight deal with electricity: Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission & National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Ways of reducing power consumption and Moving Towards Sustainability Reduce T&D losses Improve energy efficiency Promote RE (Reduce dependence on conventional power)

Promotion of RE Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Solar Energy

Solar Energy - State Policies Captive consumption (Industrial/Commercial) Procurement through bidding (Utility) Roof top PV (All Consumers) Solar energy is suitable for decentralized energy, but policy preference is towards large scale, centralized MW power plants

Solar water heaters Simple technology Helps to address morning peak If 2,50,000 households install SWH 270 MW can be saved

Why no progress? Lack of awareness Lack of stakeholder participation Weakness of nodal agency

Way forward Policy initiatives ◦ Reorient solar policy ◦ Make solar water heaters mandatory for big households ◦ Make rooftop PV mandatory for Malls and other shopping/commercial complexes Create awareness on energy efficiency/conservation Strengthening Distribution System Peaking Power Plant (at Shankarapally)
