This can make an immense improvement in the lives of every rural family where long distance connectivity is still functional.
Solar energy and health
They are because people in rural India still do not have access to grid-connected electricity Dependence on kerosene, diesel and wood-burning stoves, which women and It causes many health problems for children. Solar energy is a great alternative against low capital costs and creative pricing strategies May be.
Generally, Solar energy can be used in a decentralized way, and it has many applications: lighting, heating, water filtration and productivity. For example, solar lamps eliminate the need for kerosene lamps and any hazards associated with them. Extend the working hours by lighting these solar lights for an additional 4-5 hours Increase household productivity and income.
Access to clean water is a major challenge in rural India as water treatment requires a lot of energy. Even here Solar energy makes its contribution. Nagaland recently installed a solar-powered water treatment plant at Chisema village near Kohima, which uses an advanced membrane to produce clean drinking water. Uses a filtering system.
Solar energy and livelihoods
Solar microgrids, solar pumps and solar lights are among the small but incredible sources of energy.
Solar microgrids are integrated networks that collect, store and distribute the clean solar energy needed by the entire community. This energy is produced by a central “hub” of high quality solar panels.
Batteries and every household gets energy from it.
In India, solar microgrids are a cost-effective solution to an expensive problem There are Tata Power Renewable Microgrid is the leading company in the country and plans to roll out 10,000 microgrids in the near future. It has already installed 200 microgrids, most of them in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and in Odisha A pilot microgrid project is being implemented in 10-15 villages. Microgrids are not only for homes but also for businesses, medical clinics (refrigeration facilities), electric Mobility companies also supply power to telecom towers, educational facilities and roadside eateries. This is through access to opportunities in employment, health and education For all families Increases average income and standard of living.
India’s agriculture sector relies heavily on monsoon rains for natural irrigation. Artificial pumps are used for irrigation. Farmers rely on grid electricity or diesel gen-sets to run the pumps, leading to huge delays and economic hardship. So, for our farmers, an effective irrigation system like solar water pump is a great boon. This increases their crop yields by ensuring a reliable and perennial supply of water to their fields.
Standalone Solar Power Agri Pumps by Indian Farmers They have the potential to increase productivity and are an environmentally friendly alternative to the 26 million Agri pumps already in use. 10 of these Millions of pumps are diesel powered. By converting just 1 million diesel pumps to solar power Diesel consumption can be expected to be reduced by 9.4 billion litres, resulting in immediate cost to farmers will remain. It also saves 25.3 million tonnes of CO2.
Tata Power Solar offers DC and AC type solar water pumps in surface mounted and submersible variants to meet this requirement. These pumps help reduce farmers’ dependence on expensive fuels and their maintenance costs as opposed to conventional irrigation systems. All over India till date 76,000 also With more pumps installed, our goal is to provide water assurance and financial security to all farmers in India.
Tata Power is also an empaneled agency under the PM-KUSUM scheme to cater to the irrigation needs of our Indian farmers, even in the most remote areas of the country and to guarantee them constant income at all times. With increasing number of customers looking for immediate installation of solar pumps in rural, semi-rural or urban areas, they are now available in retail markets as well.
Impact of solar energy and solar technology on providing employment to rural youth causes According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Indian solar energy sector It has created 1,15,000 jobs in 2018 and will continue to do so in the coming years will increase. As more people use these systems, the demand for technically skilled workers who can install and repair these systems will increase. 3000 youth every year to work in renewable energy sector through Tata Power Skill Development Institute Tata Power provides training. Also GOI has invested in renewable energy sources and several development projects targeting rural youth is coming
Solar Energy and Indian Economy
As the Indian economy grows and moves up the value chain, so do energy needs will increase. As per the 19th Electricity Survey Report, on an all India scale The electricity consumption is estimated at 921 BU, 1300 BU and 1743 BU in 2016-17, 2021-22 and 2026-27 respectively. This is expected to increase to 3049 BU in 2036-37. Currently, India’s total power generation capacity in 2021-22 is only 1491 BU. No more Since India will not add coal-fired power plants, it is the only economically feasible way to meet this demand Only use renewable energy sources.
In 2019, India ranked fourth in installed renewable energy capacity globally, including solar and wind power. is in the lead. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a target of generating 450 GW of power. By 2030, renewable energy will increase by five times the current capacity. When this stage is reached, India has surpassed the 40% target set in its Paris pledge by 2030 60% of its electricity will be generated from non-fossil fuel sources. At a time when fuel prices are more uncertain than ever, India This implies savings from fuel import costs.
In clean energy, according to the Standard Chartered SDG Investment Map India alone offers more than $700 billion in private investment opportunities. This is India’s rise against the solar energy challenge. This will be an opportunity for India to demonstrate to the rest of the world how a developing country can sustainably meet its energy needs for the benefit of both its economy and environment. During the Paris climate conference, many people were stunned when the GOI announced that it wants to generate 40% of our electricity from non-fossil fuel sources. However, the GOI has made this commitment considering the support provided by private companies like Tata Power, which is making tremendous progress in this regard. Done.
Established in rural areas About 200 With microgrids, Tata Power already has installed capacity 1000MW achieved through rooftop solar installations, making it India’s No. 1 solar It has been an EPC company for the past 8 years. Through these installations alone, Tata Power customers have saved up to 50% of their average electricity bill and saved 30 million+ tonnes of CO2.
Full-service installation and repair, innovative pricing that lowers upfront costs and With a 25-year warranty, Tata Power is simultaneously helping India transition towards a green energy future.
4GW solar cell and module production capacity is an approx Sets in investment. That is Rs 3,400 crores. This will reduce India’s dependence on solar cell and battery imports. According to this article, Tata Power 5114 MW Clean energy ability and Has 2000+ EV charging stations. The Clean Energy Incubation Center at Tata Power supports the next program of green energy technology innovation that puts India at the forefront of world energy production, security and sustainability.
Conclusion
For Tata Power, sustainability principles run deep. “For more than a century, Jamsetji Tata’s vision has underpinned the sustainability of Tata Power. Our mission is to provide clean, abundant energy at affordable prices to our people. Climate change is a global issue, and its impact is far greater today,” said Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power. , said in a recent interview with Network18.
Tata Power’s portfolio currently comprises 32% green energy and will increase to 70% by 2030. It will increase to 100% by 2045. India’s Tata Power aims to reach net zero by 2045 The first company is A sustainable lifestyle will become “attainable” for millions of Indians through widespread use of green raw materials and solutions. The slogan that explains this is Sustainable is Achievable. This is a mindset that Tata Power wants to inspire more people. They have started this initiative by giving customers the option to opt for green electricity at lower rates.
India is slowly moving towards the future as the ability to generate electricity from cleaner raw materials increases and more and more people and businesses here choose green energy.
