India suffers from chronic energy poverty. Even after 65 years of independence, one-third of India's households have no access to grid power. More than a million households go dark after sunset. But India’s energy poverty also provides an opportunity to design a new energy future for the world. It could be the way to solves its twin problems of energy poverty and climate change, in one stroke. But what is the ground reality? Check it out yourself by ordering a copy – sure to give you some very useful ideas to implement at your own level.

Facing the Sun

Thu, 23 May 2013 22:42:31 +0000

Grid-connected solar power is a new and rapidly growing sector in India – from almost nil grid- connected solar power in 2009, the country will have 2.5 gigawatts (GW) by 2014, if all goes as per plan. It has already installed about 1.0 GW and the Union government plans to install 20 GW by 2022. But there is hardly any independent research on how grid-connected projects are being implemented. It was precisely for this reason that we at CSE decided to do a thorough research to understand what is working, and what is not, in grid-connected solar power. We are sure you will enjoy reading this analytical report, and understand in depth this sunrise sector.
