Abstract

Rapid population growth coupled with urbanization and industrialization are some of the critical challenges of Indian energy sector. Simultaneously India’s fossil fuel dominated power sector is a big source of carbon emission. Increasing renewable power is a mission of India. Government has also a mission for maximum rural electrification. India has widely varying geographical topography including high mountains and a long coastal line etc. Extending the Indian national grid to remote poor villages may not be techno-economically feasible. Instead introducing decentralized hybrid renewable power to remote poor villages of India may help inclusive growth. This study explores the feasibility of such options with a few case studies. Including some other energy utilities in addition to power may be an even better support to poor villagers. A few case studies on such efficient polygeneration are also included.
