The Indian power sector is in a unique situation: while the cost of generation has fallen rapidly — as much as 80% for renewables — and demand is poised to grow at a fast pace, access to power continues to be a challenge. https://www.sterlitepower.com/news/detail/indian-power-sector-hub-innovation

1. POWER SECTOR

3. • How India is reaching out power to everyone holds
lessons for the world.
• India is the world's third largest producer and the
largest consumer of electricity. The demand for
electricity in the country is driven by sustained
economic growth and the thrust to provide continuous
power to all. The global movement to electrify
transportation and manufacturing sectors will also
significantly add to India’s power needs.

4. • On the generation front, India has a vision to integrate an
additional 225 GW of renewable energy into the grid by 2022,
over and above the current generation capacity of 350 GW.
The scale and speed of renewable integration in the country is
unprecedented.
• As with everything else, energy needs to be provided at
affordable rates to Indian consumers for such an electrification
program to be viable. While technology costs continue to fall
rapidly, the Indian government has leveraged innovative
methods to ensure affordability in all its plans. Business
models like PPP and private concessions have helped in this.

5. • India is building a massive story around providing
reliable access to power for more than a billion
people. Research shows that access to reliable
electricity provides more prosperity to communities
that other public utilities like healthcare and
sanitation. This is one of the biggest opportunities to
empower people globally and we are fortunate to be
playing an active part in this revolution.
