Can CSP Settle in India ?
_____________________________________________________________________
India, possessing great potential and more than enough suitable land with sufficient solar resources, is well-placed to allow CSP to make a very major contribution to its national energy supply. A new IT Power report looks into the encouraging factors and the barriers for deployment.
Coal dominates the Indian power sector currently, with a large portion of the fuel supply being imported; however, there is diversification to natural gas. Biomass use, for cooking and heat, has traditionally been a large fraction of primary energy, but is essentially static in absolute terms and so is becoming a decreasing part of the total. Oil consumption, largely for the transport sector, is growing at a commensurate rate and the country is heading towards relying on imports for 90 percent of its oil. Natural gas consumption is also growing; it is understood that domestic sources are constrained and imports now account for approximately 25 percent of consumption.
