Power utility companies face a difficult challenge as they balance the constraints of the downturn with the investment required to meet future energy demand, security of supply, and climate change concerns. According to a survey, a world beyond recession, highlights the dilemmas of steering through the downturn while remaining focused on the long-term. The annual survey goes to the heart of boardroom thinking of 65 leading power companies in 39 different countries around the world.

So, according to you, what key steps must industry and government take to ensure a sustainable security of energy supply for the future?

Tighter finacial support to reach the effective agreement

idea posted by Shikha Malhotra Product Development Manager, Reliance Petroleum

Power utility companies are understandably concerned about both the financial environment and the governments’ commitment to future energy security and climate change policy. A tighter financial environment can make it more important for governments to reach an effective agreement

Very very good point.Tighter financial support is all that is required.Wonder why anybody in the government wont listen to such logic.

Add your argument:

Better to Bank on Natural Energy like Solar & Thermal Energy

Naturally there are many resources like Solar Energy and Thermal Energy, the government should bank on these alternative, sustainable resources in future for industrial requirement

Early mover advantage in developing commercial scale carbon capture technology for carbon capture technology

idea posted by Vineet Prakash Sales/BD Manager, Tata Power

Carbon sequestration will require new alliances with utilities and oil companies in order to develop underground carbon storage. The early mover advantage in developing commercial scale carbon capture technology at an acceptable cost will give crucial competitive advantage for the country in the future.

I could not get your point.Carbon capture produces energy or does it Require energy?

Add your argument:

Govt support- finance , Longterm Buy back

idea posted by malladi madhukumar AGM -MKTG, Andhra Cements Ltd

In view of the present shortage of power situation Govt shuold finance more power generating proposals. Long term agreement should be made with them for buy back and imbibe confidence in the producers that they will not get loss.

Nuclear Energy

idea posted by Pradeep Nair Technology Manager, Infosys Technologies Ltd
Again, harnessing nuclear energy can only source long-term demand. The last Manmohan Singh term did have this foresight, despite all-round opposition, and the country is well on track, considering the recent deals we have signed with other nations.

What is happening is good and a little more safety concerns will make things easy. Why to introduce other distracting factors here?
We cannot live with power cuts though there is a lot we need to do. Nuclear power is the answer and till when we do not develop an alternative to this we just cannot help it.
