"How far we are!!!"

When promises come in to actions, then the real strength of promise is realized. The same situation is coming in front of India, where actions are required more than words.

Last year 193 Nation’s Delegates gathered at Copenhagen to curb the green house gas emission. The summit summarized to all major developing nations like India, China, Brazil, South Africa, etc. to reduce their carbon emission to 20% by 2020. These countries are also responding to decrease the temperature of earth by 2 degree Celsius.

For these pledges to take place, India has to put efforts to build up sustainable energy paths. For that, Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission has desirable goal to increase solar power generation capacity from present status of 3 MW to 20,000 MW by the 2020. As far as present status of power generation is considered, it is probably impossible for India. This creates a lot of opportunities to investors and other young project developers to put efforts in this sector whose results will be the cheapest source of energy production by 2030.

Centre for Science and Environment Director Sunita Narain, who is also a member of the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change, said, “the 20,000 MW plan had been found to be prohibitively expensive.”

The whole project required Rs.270,000 crore for 20 years, and Union Cabinet has cleared a budgetary allocation of only Rs.4,337 crore, which is very less to execute the mission. Because of this, India has to rely more on International funding but this funding will be sanctioned only when India can push at least it’s $10 billion in this sector which is very large in numbers.

So the goal is being reduced to 4,000 MW, official sources said, which would cost the government Rs.90,000 crore over 20 years. “The mission plan is to provide Rs.17.50 per MW feed-in tariff to solar power generators for 20 years,” Narain said. “Out of this, Rs.5.50 will be paid by the utilities and the central government will pay the rest.”

NTPC along with big names are interested in this project including RIL (5 MW Solar PV project), Moser Baer Photovoltaic with Rs.2,000 crore. Tata is also coming as a JV with UK based BP Solar. Their plan is to invest $100 million in Bangalore.

As a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step, so be ready to take actions and start reducing the green house gas emission by yourself as well. You can achieve it by taking reference with this short video.
