1 Introduce solar energy application centers more and more
2 Tax sops for being energy efficient
Padmaja Baskar  |  Supported idea  "some small points "  |  2 years ago
Mudit good and valuable points. People should realize and stop wasting the fuels. Thanks for sharing your thoughts......
Padmaja Baskar  |  Supported idea  "Recycling carbon emmissions"  |  2 years ago
Gene amazing idea. Since carbon is emitted more everyone is concerned of controlling it but instead we can recycle it use it for some other purpose. So the government should come up with good projects to recycle the carbon emitted. I think this...
Santosh Ramchandra Karlekar  |  Supported idea  "Introduce solar energy application centers more and more"  |  2 years ago
The solar energy application should be increased in the best way possible for example All two wheelers/ four wheelers should be able to get charged  on solar energy in moving/non moving condition. For example suppose any two wheeler like motor...

It is high time we should de-regulate all the Sectors and allow free markets take over and I firmly believe the with this, we should be able to achieve higher wages to lower-level workers appropriate prices to the farmers which would slowly...
Pradeep Nair  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Not oil market per-se, but the oil prices need to be regulated, for it impacts all levels of economy. However this also implies the money lost by the exchequer should be recovered when the international market prices go down.
M. Prabhakar Rao  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
Let's first take a call whether we should go back to the regulated markets, as in pre-NIneties.  If so, why only Oil Markets, why not all other markets, as well? If not, don't do it selectively.

2 How to utilize your connections.......
Jaygopal Raghavan  |  Added idea  "Better networking and a new friend..."  |  9 months ago
It is not mandatory always to use your connection only if there is some personal gain. You can just use them for a better network and invite a new friend into your life.
Mohammad Bakhsh  |  Added idea  "A good networking always fruitful"  |  10 months ago

The state-run power major NTPC is going to invest about Rs 3,000 crore in solar energy to add over 300 mw of generation capacity by March 2014. The board of directors of NTPC has approved a roadmap to enter the solar power generation business for capacity addition of 301 mw by March. An investment of Rs 10 crore is required to produce one mw of solar power. Out of the 301 mw, 190 mw will be added through solar thermal technology and the balance 111 mw through solar PV technology. The company has already taken up 15 mw of solar thermal based project at Anta in Rajasthan. The power generated from this station will be fed into the grid. The largest power producer plans to add 50,000 mw of elec...
Pradeep Nair  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
The problem with solar power is unpredictability, low output, longer duration for ROI.However, its definitely a good step towards clear source of energy
Onkar Datt Sharma  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
It is really a good and responsible decision on the part of a big PUC like NTPC which can definitely make a real difference
anup bagla  |  Commented  |  2 years ago

1 Focus on clean coal and super technology increase efficiency
2 Positioning for future technology
Vineet Prakash  |  Added idea  "Positioning for future technology"  |  2 years ago
India's focus should be towards combination of improved coal, enhanced efficiency, some use of gas, solar and wind power. Eventually it's about positioning yourself for the future technology
Shikha Malhotra  |  Added idea  "Focus on clean coal and super technology increase efficiency"  |  2 years ago
In my view, we should give a lot of focus on clean coal and super critical technology to increase efficiency and coal should remain central.

2 Reduce overloading by capacity enhancement
Ganagaraj Ramachandran  |  Added idea  "Reduce overloading by capacity enhancement"  |  2 years ago
It is known that many lines are overloaded and addition of new lines improves efficency.
Padmaja Baskar  |  Added idea  "Dealing with energy efficiency"  |  2 years ago
One of the major problems power sectors face is to deal with energy efficiency. I think to deal with this problem, energy efficient products should be made which can bring down T D losses and can allow new functionalities that increase the use of...

1 Tighter finacial support to reach the effective agreement
2 Nuclear Energy
Pradeep Nair  |  Added idea  "Nuclear Energy"  |  2 years ago
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.
Arunangshu Choudhury  |  Supported idea  "Tighter finacial support to reach the effective agreement"  |  2 years ago
Very very good point.Tighter financial support is all that is required.Wonder why anybody in the government wont listen to such logic.

It may not be that apparent to the average consumer, but the way that electricity is generated, stored and transmitted is under immense strain. As demand for electrical power grows, a radical rethink of the power grid is needed if we are to get electricity to where it is needed, when it is needed. And the solution most likely to emerge as the way forward over the next ten years is the Smart grid. Smart grids connect producers of electricity to users through an interconnected œintelligent network. They allow centralized power stations to be augmented with -“ and even replaced by -“ distributed sources such as small-scale wind farms and domestic solar panels. They route power from where ...
