No agreement stops India from using any sources of energy: Piyush Goyal

11 Apr 2017 Evaluate

The Union Minister of Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy, Piyush Goyal has said that the Paris agreement on climate change does not stop India or any country from meeting its energy desires from whatever sources of energy one may choose. He also said that coal will continue to remain their backbone as it was a domestic raw material for producing energy, and added that there was no such agreement in Paris that will stop them from continuing to encourage coal-based generation of power.

The Minister has stated that India is giving a big push to renewable energy and their plans are to use renewable energy manifold times. He highlighted that the country has sufficient capacity of thermal power plants and there was a push on renewable energy also to ensure that clean energy is produced. He noted that the government has planned to take up to one lakh MW of power production from solar energy by 2022, which is five times the current levels. He added that the country also plans to produce up to 1.75 lakh MW of wind energy.

Goyal further said that old thermal power plants consumed a lot of water for power production as they used the old open cycle cooling technology, under which 120 litres of water was used per unit of energy produced. He noted that more than 90 percent of power plants set up are on new technology. He said that at present, around 12,000 MW of power plants are continuing to work on open cycle cooling technology, which are largely state power units and government of India is not in a position to force their shutting. However, the Centre is in constant touch with states in this regard.
