The most significant aspect, would be that power generated through renewable technologies has to be increased to 25% against the present 5%. It would be evident that for true energy independence a major shift in the structure of energy sources from fossil to renewable energy sources is mandated.

5. Solar Energy Solar energy in particular requires unique, massive applications in the agricultural sector, where farmers need electricity exclusively in the day time. This could be the primary demand driver for solar energy. Solar energy in particular requires unique, massive applications in the agricultural sector, where farmers need electricity exclusively in the day time. This could be the primary demand driver for solar energy. We also need to embark on a program in solar energy systems and technologies for both large, centralized applications as well as small, decentralized requirements, concurrently, for applications in both rural and urban areas.
