'Immediate Solution' is only load shedding

The solution cannot be something like getting a generator to geenrate power. Power is a limited resource which one should save by all means. Power saved is power generated. |

Mr. Ravishankar, I appreciate your comment. In order to reduce the power crisis, we need to increase power production as much as possible or else we have to depend on the stored power.
in a huge populous country like india definitely energy saved is energy generated.in our country the distribution efficiency is only around 30%. its to be increased and if it is done our power crises wil get reduced
Even with the prepaid billing and metering, people can still over use and waste power. I can take an example of prepaid mobile. the people have not started talking less just because it is prepaid. They just buy a lot of cards and keep with them... they use it extensively even though they will not have anything to talk.. similarly, the idea may not work.

One of the quick and achievable solution for today's power shortage is enforce that all utilities adhere to the norms of transmission and distribution losses. Account for each and every unit generated educate domestic, agri and commercial users on the advantage of energy efficiency. I am not saying these steps are not taken, but effective implementation is need of this hour. Accounting of unit generated to cash realised is not to be seen in state run utilities. whatever system implemented and money spent on that is not yielding any result. Steps are initiated by Govt for energy saving for industrial consumers are now become mandatory, on other consumers it can be made effective in the source itself, i.e only energy efficient products are manufactured and available in the market, mainly in lighting. |

Demand side reduction is always the most effective and cheapest olution to a supply side problem.
Michael
Ah! I opened this page to write the same because if anything can show "Immediate" results then that can be saving only.

Central & State Govt. should shake hand and immediately implement Pre-Paid Billing System by instantly changing the faulty meters if required. This way consumption could be controlled. |

Hi Nageshwaran Nagarajan, what an idea. Really its an effective one to implement for the Indian society.

These two cooling applications are one of the largest domestic consumers of electricity. To avoid brown-out power cuts on particularly hot days; remove the demand for electricity at these peak times by usind the natural demand matching of solar cooling. I admit to a vested interest as we are developing a low-cost solar cooling technology at Solar Polar.

Can you please cover this in more detail in a separate insight.

The power sector is adversely affected by the financial crisis at this period of recession. The Indian industry desperately needs better power infrastructure than currently available in the country, for its survial. The government needs to take decisive measures to prop up the sorely lagging power generation capabilities in India. Large scale privatization and thorough policy restructuring are the need of the day, for the power industry to gear up and meet present and future needs. This crisis should be dealt properly with the required amendments in regulations..... |

Due to the recession many of the entrepreneurs have not shown interest in investing in power sector or otherwise many private generating companies could have been set up power plants to tackle the situation. The interest rates have gone up from 10% to 13%, which was unexpected. The open access system is encouraging, but in few states like TN, UP etc, the political conditions in these states are not supporting. The mega power projects initiated by Governments are falling out of their schedules, private investments should be brought in and its the only way to solve the problem.

Along with more effective / vigorous implementation of Energy Saving Measures / distribution losses etc. as mentioned by Gangaraj ... I strongly feel that comparatively small capacity Hydro or NC Energy (Solar, Wind) and other Power Plants need to be set up with Government Subsidy on PPP (Public Private Partnership) mode (model) by a community / group of commercial / industrial, agri and even by domestic users to ease the situation ... ! |

This is a good solution as long as the correct infrastructure is in place.
Once that has happened a decentralised system is the ideal method for a stable system with minimised losses.
Michael Reid
This is one good step, now what is called as "distributed generation" which in one way sure help to reduce power crisis. Technical advantage is distribution loss now incurring can be reduced to the minimum.

In my opinion the immediate solution for the power crisis is only load shedding which we are facing presently in Maharashtra. The long term solution is power generation through alternative means. What comes to my mind here immediately is Wind Power. Many countries are resorting to it now. Its time that we turn to this alternative form of power generation. The next alternative form is solar energy. This is also a cost effective media of power generation. Our government is promoting this already by giving subsidized loans for purchase of equipments. |

Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyone's "going green." We're glad you want to take action, too. Luckily, many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can make our lives better. Our grandchildren-and their children-will... |
Yes it is a good idea, I support it. We should reduce the usage of AC for this the AC production should be brought down. Even in cars there should be no such facilities. Today cars are the major producers of green house gases, even if the climate is... |
As the population increases the demand for power also increases. So there is no proper supply according to the demand, this is because of improper management of the resources. And now we are running short of resources........ So we should manage the... |
