A Comparative study of Power Generation in Kerala and Himachal Pradesh BASED ON SOLAR POWER KERALA Only 4% of the total installed plant capacity is based on renewable energy sources in Kerala Though the states has got very good solar insolation solar energy utilization is not remarkable. HIMACHAL PRADESH Himachal Pradesh have average global horizontal irradiance of 5.08kWh/m2/day, which is good for PV generation of electricity. Its solar potential is about 33840 MW [5] . This energy is available in the form of light & heat from Sun --------------------------------- BASED ON HYDEL POWER KERALA Hydel energy is the most reliable and dependable source in Kerala. Of the total installed capacity, 2746.19 MW, the lion’s share of 1933 MW of installed capacity comes from 24 hydel stations HIMACHAL PRADESH Himachal Pradesh is extremely rich in its hydroelectricity resources. The state has about twenty five percent of the national potential. About 27,436 MV of hydroelectric power can be generated in the state by the construction of various hydroelectric projects on the five perennial river basins. Out of total hydroelectric potential of the state, 10,519 MW is harnessed so far ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BASED ON THERMAL POWER KERALA Thermal power generators account for the considerable majority contribution after Hydel Power for the state . In Kerala there are main 3 thermal power plants HIMACHAL PRADESH Himachal Pradesh consumes just 2000 million units of thermal power but the state has signed PPAs with them that will end in 2034. The state is contemplating ways to underwrite the PPAs and become completely renewable dependent state to become the first Green State of India

2. BASED ON SOLAR POWER
KERALA HIMACHAL PRADESH
Only 4% of the total installed plant capacity is
based on renewable energy sources in Kerala
Though the states has got very good solar
insolation solar energy utilization is not
remarkable.
Himachal Pradesh have average global horizontal
irradiance of 5.08kWh/m2/day, which is good for PV
generation of electricity. Its solar potential is about
33840 MW [5] . This energy is available in the form
of light & heat from Sun.

3. BASED ON HYDEL POWER
KERALA HIMACHAL PRADESH
Hydel energy is the most reliable and dependable
source in Kerala. Of the total installed capacity,
2746.19 MW, the lion’s share of 1933 MW of installed
capacity comes from 24 hydel stations
Himachal Pradesh is extremely rich in
its hydroelectricity resources. The state has about
twenty five percent of the national potential. About
27,436 MV of hydroelectric power can be generated
in the state by the construction of various
hydroelectric projects on the five perennial river
basins. Out of total hydroelectric potential of the
state, 10,519 MW is harnessed so far

4. BASED ON THERMAL POWER
KERALA HIMACHAL PRADESH
Thermal power generators account for the
considerable majority contribution after Hydel Power
for the state . In Kerala there are main 3 thermal
power plants
Himachal Pradesh consumes just 2000 million
units of thermal power but the state has signed
PPAs with them that will end in 2034. The state is
contemplating ways to underwrite the PPAs and
become completely renewable dependent state to
become the first Green State of India
