empirical support the trends in electricity generated by sources in india
Answers
The utility electricity sector in India had an installed capacity of 315.42 GW as on 28 February 2017. Renewable power plants constituted 30% of total installed capacity.During the fiscal year 2015-16, the gross electricity generated by utilities in India was 1,116.84 TWh and the total electricity generation (utilities and non utilities) in the country was 1,352 TWh or 1,075.64 kWh per capita. India is the world's third largest producer and fourth largest consumer of electricity.Electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded highest (17.89%) in 2015-16 among all countries.The per capita electricity consumption is low compared to many countries despite cheaper electricity tariff in India.
In order to address the lack of adequate electricity availability to all the people in the country by March 2019, the Government of India launched a scheme called "Power for All". This scheme will ensure continuous and uninterrupted electricity supply to all households, industries and commercial establishments by creating and improving necessary infrastructure. Its a joint collaboration of GoI with states to share funding and create overall economic growth.
Draft National Electricity Plan, 2016 prepared by GoI states that India does not need additional non-renewable power plants till 2027 with the commissioning of 50,025 MW coal based power plants under construction and additional 100,000 MW renewable power capacity.
Empirically supported means improving and enhancing a sector by continuous research works on the usage patterns and other data analysis.
Due to the humongous population our country's electricity consumption is becoming larger by every passing year.
That's why empirical studies improvises electricity generation by implementing new techniques equipment and apply new store resources like renewable energy resources.
