The hydel capacity generated through inter-linking of rivers is
expected to contribute additional 50,000 megawatts of power.
Large scale solar energy farms of 100s of megawatts capacity
in certain number could contribute around 55,000 MW. The
nuclear power plants should have a target of 50,000 MW of

The aim should be to take the short term and long term
view of the economics of bio-fuel plantation and provide a
facilitating environment to the farmer, bio-fuel enterprises,

Nuclear Energy
The present nuclear power capacity of 14 reactors which
is 2720 megawatts is expected to go to 7420 megawatts by
2010 with the completion of nine reactors which are now in
progress. Eventually as per present plan BARC is expecting
the capacity to be 24,000 megawatts by 2020. Hence, there is
a need to plan right from now to increase this capacity to
50,000 megawatts by 2030.

Conclusion
The world has already realized that the peace and
prosperity of any nation is secure only when the rest of the
world is also prosperous and at peace. Similarly, the energy
consumption from renewable resources has to be maximized
for all nations irrespective of their economic status if the world
has to remain a livable habitat for our future generations.
Hence, sharing of knowledge of useful technologies without
much of a concern for intellectual property rights for the good
of the mankind should be the defining spirit for international
collaboration in this sector. Keeping the above reality in mind,
I have the following suggestions for the participants of this
conference.
