ACHIEVEMENTS OF GUJARAT (by: Keval Jani)
18th, 19th & 20th Centuries were full of ideology to develop maximum
power, energy and industries at cost of resources but when it came to shortage
of resources, now 21st century and maybe upcoming few will be having ideology
to exploit maximum output with minimum resources. After a prolonged research on
energy sector, it has come to notice that Gujarat state of India is heavily
leading in the race of energy development. Solar power is one of
the fastest developing industries in Gujarat, as the state was one of the first
states to develop solar power generation plants. Presently Gujarat has
installed 7,645 MW of renewable energy in the state and it counts for around
28% of the total consumption. Achievements of Gujarat in energy sector have
proved to be remarkable. The state is on the way to have power production of
18,000+ MW within upcoming few years. Almost no village in the state is left
without electricity connection and cities in the state are
having comparatively better power supply than big cities like Mumbai, Delhi and
the silicon valley of India - Bangalore. The state has also come out with
Solar-wind hybrid policy and another achievement of 4-5 such hybrid
parks is to take place with at least 2000 MW capacity. Gujarat is on
the way to direction of renewable sources of energy and the government has
rightly identified to limit it's exposure to fossil fuel based generation of
energy as it effects the trade account deficit of the nation.
State is all set to escalate it's production for renewable sources of energy.
At present the state has 9,670 MW renewable energy production out
of which wind energy source contributes 70% and rest 30% goes to solar power
sector. Gujarat is leading not only in terms of Indians states but it is leading states like New Jersey and Ohio. New Jersey has 2500+ MW production of
renewable energy sources, which is just near to 1/4 of Gujarat's production. On
other hand, Ohio has got only 1000 MW renewable energy production and around
1500 MW production facility is under development, so presently Ohio has only
10% renewable energy production compared to the Indian state of Gujarat.
Figures are enough to say for the achievements of the state. Within upcoming
decade or two Gujarat's scale of renewable energy would be
massive and it would easily overtake energy production of France, Greece and
various such nations. Dedication towards the development is the biggest reason
behind such achievements of Gujarat.
