Electricity – 4th basic need
Electricity not only plays a big part in our daily lives at home, but it is extremely important for all
the things that go on in the world around us in our modern life.

Agricultural
Industrial
Commercial
6. Globally, the largest electricity-consuming countries are
the People’s Republic of China (28.5%) and the United States (16.8%),
who together account for over 45% of global consumption.
Followed by India (5.7%), Japan (4.1%), the Russian Federation
(3.3%), Canada (2.3%), Korea (2.3%), Brazil (2.2%), Germany
(2.2%), and France (1.9%).
Electricity – 4th basic need
In total, the top-ten consuming
countries account for just under
70% of global electricity
consumption.

Electricity – 4th basic need
• Electricity is an essential requirement for all facets of our life.
• Recognized as a basic human need
• Improves the quality of life of human beings
• It is one of the key drivers for rapid economic growth and poverty
alleviation
• Essential for socio-economic development of the country
• Affordable, Accessible and Sustainable energy is a critical driver for
growth and prosperity of a nation.

Electricity
• The electricity demand of a nation speaks of its social standard, pace of economic growth,
geographical variations and demography of the population at large.
• Power is among the most critical components of infrastructure, crucial for the economic growth and
welfare of nations. The existence and development of adequate power infrastructure is essential for
sustained growth of the Indian economy.
• India's power sector is one of the most diversified in the world. Sources of power generation range
from conventional sources such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to viable
non-conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agricultural and domestic waste

Electricity – 4th basic need
There are three primary segments in the electricity sector: Generation, Transmission and Distribution.
Generation is the process of
producing power using different
fuels and is carried out in generating
stations (generation plants)
Transmission utilities carry bulk
power from the generation plants to
the distribution substations through
a grid and at high voltages
Distribution utilities supply
electricity from the substations to
individual consumers through a
distribution network.
Distribution is the retail stage and
operates at lower voltages

One Nation, One Grid, One Frequency
Initially, State grids were inter-connected
to form regional grid and India was
demarcated into 5 regions namely
Northern, Eastern, Western, North
Eastern and Southern region.
• Optimal utilization of scarce natural
resources by transfer of Power from
Resource centric regions to Load centric
regions.
• Establishment of vibrant Electricity market
facilitating trading of power across regions
• Transfer of power within and across the
regional grids will ensure in reliability,
security and economy of power

One Sun-One World-One Grid OBJECTIVE : To aid in developing a
worldwide grid through which clean energy
can be transmitted anywhere, anytime (use
power at night in one part of the world from
solar energy generated on other side of the
world where it is day time).
In first assembly of the International Solar
Alliance (ISA), in October 2018, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi floated the idea of The One Sun
One World One Grid initiative.
AIM: To help in reducing storage
needs and enhancing the
viability of solar projects. Its
ultimate goal is to reduce carbon
footprints and energy costs.
