This document discusses India's efforts towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy. It provides context on the targets under Goal 7 and highlights India's challenges in ensuring energy access, with over 200 million people still lacking electricity. It then outlines several initiatives and projects India has undertaken such as the National Solar Mission to promote renewable energy like solar power. The National Solar Mission has a target of installing 100 GW of solar power by 2022. The document also discusses the International Solar Alliance that India helped form as a treaty-based intergovernmental organization to scale up solar energy. In conclusion, it emphasizes that individual actions in using energy judiciously can contribute towards achieving universal energy access.

3. Affordable and Clean
energy
• Renewable energy solutions are becoming
cheaper, more reliable and more efficient every
day.
• Our current reliance on fossil fuels is
unsustainable and harmful to the planet, which
is why we have to change the way we produce
and consume energy.
• Implementing these new energy solutions as
fast as possible is essential to counter climate
change, one of the biggest threats to our own
survival.

Targets

5. India and Goal 7
India is projected to be a significant contributor to the rise in global
energy demand, around one-quarter of the total. However, as of 2016,
more than 207 million people in India do not have access to electricity.

The government’s National Solar Mission is playing an important role in the work
towards renewable energy, and interventions in rural electrification and new
ultra-mega power projects are moving India towards achieving universal energy
access.

6. Challenges-
• The main problem is not of availability rather affordability.
• Even though the number of household electrified is 96% but
meaningful access is only 37%. The problem faced in states
like Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh is of connectivity
while in case of Madhya Pradesh issue is of reliability and
quality.
• In these states, some household don’t have connection due
to unavailability of grid. While majority of population have
grid in the vicinity but they have not taken connection due to
lack of affordability.
• One of the key challenges which India faces with regard to
electricity is the issue of distribution.
• The major problem is to ensure the quality of supply even
though households have been electrified as in December
2016, 41 % of household experience power cut for more
than 15 hours per day even though considered as electrified.
12
• High dependence on electricity imports
leading to insecurity in supply
• Low level of private sector investments
in power projects
• Inadequate coal block linkage and
natural gas (NG) supply
• Insufficient supply of electricity to
remote areas which witness increased
habitations and
• Lack of business models for renewable
energy projects

• The National Solar Mission is an initiative
of the Government of India and State
Governments to promote solar power.
• The mission is one of the several policies
of the NationalAction Plan on Climate
Change.
• India increased its solar power
generation capacity by nearly 5 times
from 2,650 MW on 26 May 2014 to
12,288.83 MW on 31 March 2017. The
country added 9,362.65 MW in 2017–18,
the highest of any year. The original
target of 20 GW was surpassed in 2018,
four years ahead of the 2022 deadline.
• In December 2014, the Government of
India introduced a scheme to establish at
least 25 solar parks and Ultra Mega Solar
Power Projects to add over 20 GW of
installed solar power capacity.
• The Central Government provides
financial support for the construction of
these solar projects.
• As of December 2016, the Central
Government has provided in-principle
approval to set up 34 solar parks across
21 states.Each power project has a
minimum capacity of 500 MW.
• India is a tropical country where
sunshine is available for longer
hours per day and in great
intensity.
• The daily average solar energy
incident over India varies from
4 to 7 kWh/meter square with
about 1500 – 2000 sunshine
hours per year, depending
upon location resulting in
aggregate incident radiation of
about 5000 trillion kWh/yr.
• This is too higher than the
current total energy
consumption. Hence solar
energy has the potential to be a
great source of future energy.
The Target for National Solar Mission
It had a set a target of 20,000 MW of grid-connected solar power by 2022. It was revised in June 2015 to
1,00,000 MW by 2022.
The 100 GW solar power capacity has been divided into:
1.Rooftop solar electricity generation – 40 GW
2.Large and Medium Scale grid-connected solar projects – 60 GW
3.To achieve 15 million sq meters of solar thermal collector area by 2017 and 20 million by 2022.
4.To deploy 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas by 2022.

International Solar Alliance (ISA)
• The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is a treaty based
inter-governmental organization working to create a
global market system to tap the benefits of solar
power and promote clean energy applications.
To force down
prices of solar
energry
To bring
standardization
Scaling solar
application for
agriculture use
to faster
research and
development
Increasing
standard of
living
Objective
All Parties will
collectively address key
common challenges to
the scaling up of solar
energy in line with their
needs.
• With 75 signatory
countries in this
global collective,
the ISA creates a
multi-stakeholder
ecosystem where
sovereign nations,
multilateral
organizations,
industry,
policymakers and
innovators work in
together to
promote the
common and
shared goal of
meeting energy
demands of a
secure &
sustainable world.
• The Paris Declaration that
established the ISA states
that the countries share the
collective ambition to
undertake innovative and
concerted efforts to reduce
the cost of finance and
technology for deployment of
solar generation assets.
•The ISA aims to pave the way for
future solar generation, storage and
technologies for Member countries’
needs by mobilising over USD 1000
billion by 2030.
ISA’s vision to enable One World, One Sun, One Grid
ISA Mission- Every home no matter how far away, will have a light at home.

10. One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG).
Under OSOWOG vision, India seeks to replicate
its global solar leadership (International Solar
Alliance) by encouraging the phased
development of a single globally connected solar
electricity grid to leverage the multiple benefits
(Low cost, Zero pollution) of solar energy.

Great Powers
• Climate
Mitigation
• Balancing China
• Bridging Current
Account Deficit

11. Everyone can help to make
sure that we meet the Global
Goals. Together we can ensure
affordable and clean energy
for all.
At individual level, using
energy judiciously in your
everyday life can really make a
difference.
