What?
Why?
Within the last decade, Delhis electricity demand rose by an average 6% every
year. From 20 billion units in 2002, the demand in all likelihood will reach over
33 billion units by 2017, a 65% growth. Given Indias growing power deficit, the
rising cost of power and Delhis rapidly growing power demand, it will be
difficult
to maintain the current level of supply stability in the years to come.
Further, for more than 70% of its power, the city relies on other states, which
places Delhis power supply in a vulnerable position.
Delhis current solar RPO is a mere 0.35% by 2017, much lower than in other
states.
A supposed lack of available space for solar PV in the urbanized and
congested city is considered to be a barrier. However, this holds true only if
large, ground mounted installations are considered.
This report shows that the potential for rooftop-based solar PV systems in
Delhi is significant and achievable.
