• Problems of power sector
– Inadequate power generation
– Lack of optimum utilization of existing generation capacity
– Inadequate inter regional transmission link
– High Transmission (5%)& Distribution (27.1%) losses, theft and skewed tariff
structure

– Lack of grid discipline

 Advantages of non-conventional energy (100 MW in Orissa)

• Solar
– Greatly reduced pollution
– Greatly reduced contribution to global warming
– Infinite energy resource
– Reduced maintenance costs
– Falling production costs
– Low running costs
– Local application
– Health and safety benefits
– Reliability
 CONTD….

Biomass:
• It makes sense to use waste materials where we can. 
• The fuel tends to be cheap.
• Less demand on the fossil fuels.

Wind Energy:
• Wind is free, wind farms need no fuel. 
• Produces no waste or greenhouse gases. 
• The land beneath can usually still be used for farming. 
• Wind farms can be tourist attractions. 
• A good method of supplying energy to remote areas.
