Co-authoring the International Solar Alliance has enabled India to reinvent its climate persona to one that is willing to be part of the solution. EPISODE #155
In the newspaper this morning I read a news item that Kerala is increasingly opting for affordable, eco-friendly sun power. In fact, solar electricity generation in Kerala has touched 10% of the total power generation. Not only that, consumers are opting for on solar grids allowing excess electricity to be fed back into the government grid. This is a win- win situation for both the government as well as the consumers. This reminded me of how relevant your piece on India's climate diplomacy is. Even the common man is taking steps to harness solar energy. We are no longer outside, looking in. India is a country blessed with enough sunshine throughout the year to exploit the solar power potential. It's really an interesting observation that the alliance of sunshine states is made up of mostly developing countries. Seems to be Nature's way of balancing the equation that we also have something to contribute.
Very encouraging signs for the ultimate progress of renewable energy development, by harnessing the power of the sun. That India is a front runner in the field, augers well for the future of the country and the world. The importance of the non polluting source of energy has been recognized by leaders like PM Modi and already there is small scale usage of solar power, both in domestic and commercial establishments. An informatve and interesting article Anil 👏 👍
