Abstract:
India, a country where the government has taken strong actions towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals at the most recent meetings of the United Nations Development Program, faces serious challenges in the renewable energy sector, despite its promises. These challenges, pertaining mainly to real estate procurement and grid distributions, are not unique to India; yet, they are magnified. Two of the most promising forms of renewable energy in India, solar and wind, are also possibly the only viable options for the country, and hence receive the most serious investment and policy measures by the current Narendra Modi government. Real estate aside, India has an almost archaic electric grid network; this is in strong addition to state governments which cannot seem to share energy amicably between high-energy development states and energy-deficient states. The issue is geographical, economic and political. Yet, foremost, the question is about the possibility for having sustainable energy development in India. In this paper, we analyse all the aforementioned factors, in the backdrop of the financial machinery that exists to promote the development in the renewable energy sector of India.
