Green power to play key role in India’s energy mix by 2047: Secretary
The anticipated increase in India’s energy demand will offer enough space for all forms of electricity-nuclear, renewable as well as thermal-with green power playing a key role in the mix by 2047, said Santosh Kumar Sarangi, secretary at the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
Speaking at the 98th AGM and annual convention of Ficci on Friday, Sarangi said India’s energy demand is going to increase exponentially, so there is space for renewable power capacity, for nuclear power and some coal-based capacity for base load management.
