SEMINAR ON FOR SUSTAINABLE POWER

Ever since the oil crisis of 1973, several countries in SE Asia started exploring options for using renewable energy. This need obviously pointed at improvement of energy efficiency. The concept changedproduction cost’. Recent concerns such as rising oil prices, supplyelectricity as a consequence of growing economics and urbanization, and global attention on green house gas emissions witcarbon trading are spurring the demand for accelerated growth of renewable energy utilization. Technological improvements, better quality control, standardization and increased number of suppliers/ manufacturers/vendoturbines, biomass cogeneration dendropower, biomass gasification, small and microhydro, bio-diesel and solar photovoltaic are also aiding the growth of renewable energy.

Efficiency in energy utilization needs to be a contiunproductive energy utilization generally observed in the Indian industrial sector.

since the oil crisis of 1973, several countries in SE Asia started exploring options for using renewable energy. This need obviously pointed at improvement of energy efficiency. The concept changed to ‘More efficiency, more productivity and reduced production cost’. Recent concerns such as rising oil prices, supply-demand gap for electricity as a consequence of growing economics and urbanization, and global attention on green house gas emissions with implication of opportunities such as carbon trading are spurring the demand for accelerated growth of renewable energy utilization. Technological improvements, better quality control, standardization and increased number of suppliers/ manufacturers/vendors in technologies such as wind turbines, biomass cogeneration dendropower, biomass gasification, small and micro

diesel and solar photovoltaic are also aiding the growth of renewable

Efficiency in energy utilization needs to be a continuous activity as there is huge unproductive energy utilization generally observed in the Indian industrial sector. The world is moving towards a sustainable energy future with an emphasis on energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources. A finite planet cannot support infinitely increasing consumption of resources and hence the motto of present times must be to REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE".

According to the government’s estimate, the potential for grid-interactive renewable power generation from commonly known sources other than bio-fuels is about 84,776 mw. The government has launched the programme for promoting power generation from renewable sources since the last 25 years, but unfortunately the cumulative power generation from these sources is only around 11,272.13 mw.

power projects generating up to 25 mw power are also categorised as renewable sources of energy. The country has an estimated potential of about 15,000 mw power generation through small hydro-power projects, but the cumulageneration from these projects have been only 2,045.61 mw. However there are socioeconomic problems associated with small hydro-projects at place where it has caused blockade or diversion in drown stream water affecting farming operations and cdrinking water availability problems in villages.

India is also lagging behind in power generation from biomass, bagasse and waste despite its high potential. According to government estimates, cumulative power generation from biomass is only 605.80 mw against its potential for 16,881 mw. The cumulative power generation from bagasse has been only 710.83 mw as against its potential for 5,000 mw. Cumulative generation of energy from waste has been only 55.25 mw as against its estimated potential of 2,700 mw.

The North East has abundant renewable energy resources but their utilization has not been adequate. Apart from small hydel power projects, biomass holds a lot of scope in the region. Effective utilization of renewable energy could be of immense benefit in electrification of remote villages. The 11th Plan targeted utilization of renewable energy to the tune of 3,500 MW with a capacity addition of another 3,200 MW. The private sector participation is very much encouraging in this regard.

Continued growth of Indian economy will depend on largeenergy sector. As per the planning commission’s estimates, India needs an installed capacity of 1200 GW by 2020 which is 7 times the existing capacity, to sustain the future economic growth. India has an installed capacity of around 170,000 MW (July 2009). Investment requirement for the above expansion is estimated at USD 1200 Billion, of which USD 600 Billion is required in generation and USD 300 Billion each in transmission & distribution sectors. The pace of investments and implementation of projects have been slow in past leading to high peak (14%) and energy demand (11%) deficits. The Central Power Sector Utilities and the state utilities have not been able to match up to the requirement. Most of the previous plan targets have been missed and the government is now expecting the private sector to support in the future generation and transmission capacity additions. Various policy level initiatives for facilitating private investments power sector has been introduced post the notification of Electricity Act 2003. There have been significant capacity additions in the past few years. While the total transmission line length (220 kV and above) increased at a CAGR of 6.64% during the past three years, total transmission transformation capacity (220 kV and above) grew at a CAGR of 4.87%. As on August 2008, the total transmission network (220 kV and above) owned and operated by the CTU and STU comprised of 214,684 ckt. km of transmission292,860 MVA of substation capacity.

Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable enhydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power, tidal power and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency, he added. He said that the reservenatural gas are limited and they do not regenerate. Hence, such energies could be used only as long as they last and their emissions cannot be absorbed by nature. Consequently, none of these energy sources can satisfy both sustainabilitybest satisfied by solar, wind, wave and most hydropower options, he added.

Organized by t(ICC) in association with Arunachal Pradesh Energy Development Agency (APEDA) and North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO), tawareness on energy efficiency for sustainable power apart from collecting consolidated opinion on involvement of private sector in hydropower generation.

parliamentary secretary for PWD T Norbu Thongdok has called for achieving a sustainable energy future with a common political goal and with all regions of the country implementing the necessary transitions. "Energy-efficiency and renewable energy are the twin pillars of sustainable energy. Sustainable energy is the provision of energy that meets the needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs," he said during a seminar here on Friday.

Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable energy sources, such as , wind energy, wave power, tidal power and also technologies

designed to improve energy efficiency, he added. He said that the reserves of coal, oil and natural gas are limited and they do not regenerate. Hence, such energies could be used only as long as they last and their emissions cannot be absorbed by nature. Consequently, none of these energy sources can satisfy both sustainability criteria. Therefore, the sustainability criteria are best satisfied by solar, wind, wave and most hydropower options, he added.

Arunachal Pradesh State Electricity Regulatory Commission ( APSERC) chairman, deliberating in the seminar said that other options help to meet the sustainability goals were

energy savings and increase energy efficiency. Organized by the Indian Chamber of Commerce(ICC) in association with Arunachal Pradesh Energy Development Agency (APEDA) and North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO), the seminar was aimed at creating awareness on energy efficiency for sustainable power apart from collecting consolidated opinion on involvement of private sector in hydropower generation.
