The most significant aspect, would be The most significant aspect, would be that power generated through that power generated through renewable technologies has to be renewable technologies has to be increased to 25% against the present increased to 25% against the present 5%.5%.

It would be evident that for true energy It would be evident that for true energy independence a major shift in the independence a major shift in the structure of energy sources from fossil structure of energy sources from fossil to renewable energy sources is to renewable energy sources is mandated.mandated.

massive applications in the agricultural massive applications in the agricultural sector, where farmers need electricity sector, where farmers need electricity exclusively in the day time. This could be the exclusively in the day time. This could be the primary demand driver for solar energy.primary demand driver for solar energy.

We also need to embark on a program in We also need to embark on a program in solar energy systems and technologies for solar energy systems and technologies for both large, centralized applications as well both large, centralized applications as well as small, decentralized requirements, as small, decentralized requirements, concurrently, for applications in both rural concurrently, for applications in both rural and urban areas.and urban areas.

Large scale solar energy farms of Large scale solar energy farms of 100’s of MW capacity in certain 100’s of MW capacity in certain number could contribute around number could contribute around 55,000 MW55,000 MW
