Solar power the future of Delhi

The current electricity crisis and intermittent supply in Delhi has once again established the need for switching to alternate sustainable energy options, especially solar power. However, there is still scepticism about its viability, implementation and tariff standardization.

While many energy experts are of the view that there is a need to formulate a fresh policy to revamp the power sector, others believe that alternate sources of electricity, like solar power, will prove extremely helpful in terms of saving energy.

“It is high time that Delhi shifts to solar power generation to address its power concerns. It may not eradicate the city’s power demands, but will certainly provide an alternative to redress some concerns on immediate front,” energy campaigner Anand Prabhu Patanjali told this newspaper. The expert, however, noted the sector’s viability and high tariff continue to remain a concern.
