Renewable energy is attained from renewable sources, the resources which can be naturally
renewed within a human timeline, like wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, and geothermal
energy. Renewable energy often affords energy in four main areas: power generation, wind, and
water heating/cooling, transport, and rural (off-grid) energy facilities.
India is 3th largest energy consumer globally with the installed capacity of 368.79 GW and
79.8% of share comes from fossil energy or non-renewables and rest 17.3% comes from
renewable resources. Non-renewable resources dominate India’s electricity market and the most
by coal and in 2018-2019 fiscal years ¾ of the electricity is produced by coal. The government is
making continuous efforts to increase electricity production through renewable energy.
The first-ever hydroelectric power plants of Asia were established in Darjeeling and
Shivanasamudram in 1898 and 1902 respectively. The installed capacity of hydro is
45,293MW approx.
Solar energy is the potential sector for India in renewables because almost 5000 trillion
kWh solar radiations come to the land. The total installed capacity of solar energy is
33.73 GW or 2%.
India holds the position of 4th largest wind power capacity in the world. From 1990s
development of wind began in Tamil Nadu, and the installed capacity wind power is
34.3GW as of 2018
Power Shortage: - As with huge power consumption India needs to increase its capacity
to meet the increasing demand. India’s energy mix should be diversified with more
renewables because as compared to other energy sources renewables are eco-friendly and
don’t harm nature in any way.
Increasing Oil & Gas Prices: - The amount of non- renewable resources are gradually
decreasing day by day which leads to an increase in prices of oil & gas and as compared
with renewable resources are less costly and their variable cost is also low.
Ecological Hazard: - Carbon leads the race while contributing to polluting the
environment and carbon emission is most in any non-renewable resource of energy and at
the same place renewable energy does not emit carbon.
Ample resources and sites available: - Non-Renewable resources are found in ores with
which it needs a high amount of money and risk to extract them from ores and whereas
compared with renewables, they are available in most of the parts and do not have any
big complication as compared to non-renewables.
Ecofriendly in nature i.e. does not emit carbon or any harmful gasses.
Low variable cost as compared to non-renewables.
A high cost which is involved in transmission Capex could be avoided.
Technical and other distribution losses can be dodged.
Fuel cost which occurs to operate fossil fuels based power plants can be saved in
renewables.
The rural economy can be boosted accordingly.
Will help to diversify the energy mix and would help in the energy basket.
Current Focus
Productive uses for rural energy and social benefits could be promoted.
Renewable energy could be promoted for rural electrification and industrial applications.
The rural economy will get affordable and sustainable energy services.
To establish more capacity for manufacture and to maintain the renewable energy
technologies in rural areas to get better results.
Sustainable development refers to that type of development that does not create adverse impacts
on the stock availability of resources for the future. It is no secret that India has a huge rural-
urban disconnect in terms of standard of living. To bridge the gap, it is crucial to have a macro
level and micro level frameworks to properly implement rural development programs.
Also, development must be sustainable. It should be able to address the majority of the
Sustainable Development Goals as prescribed by the United Nations Development Programs.
India has made ambitious commitments in the Paris Summit and has to address its economic
issues sustainably.
Renewable energy is seen as the answer to India’s sustainability issues in energy supply. Future
forecasts present an increasing trend in the energy demand of India. The dependence on fossil
fuels has also failed to reduce at the expected levels (IESS 2047). Also, catering to the future
demand should not comprise with the environment and the sustainable development targets.
Thus, it becomes important to bring effective renewable energy policies in the mainstream and
integrate them with the rural economies for their social inclusion.
There have been a lot of changes and reforms regarding renewable energy in India and the
government have undertaken a massive target of achieving installed capacity of 175 MW of
renewable energy by 2022. But the current status of the target indicates that there is a long way
to go. Also, the policies must integrate the rural population in the expansion of renewables. The
need right now is to take a hard look at reality and see how rural upliftment can be hastened
through an increase in the spread of renewable energy.
The sustainable development objectives are a lot of 17 objectives for the world's future and it
ought to be contained by 2030.
17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are: -
60% of global greenhouse emissions are from energy supply. And only 17% of
energy supply accounts for renewables, some international panel of climate
change have warned that by 2050 it could increase up to 85% and to avoid the
most horrible impacts of climate change we should move to clean renewable
energy.
Challenges
Literature Review:-
O.Edenhofer submitted his paper On the economics of renewable energy sources (2013) to
Review Central aspects regarding the economics of renewables that are relevant to the design of
an optimal RE policy, many of which are to date unresolved. And which explains that this survey
on the financial matters of renewables uncovered information holes as well as simultaneously the
prerequisites for an evaluation of the significant alternatives that true leaders may have. To this
end, IAMs ought to remember various social destinations for their examination to recognize
potential cooperative energies or even co-benefits between these objectives. This especially
suggests a superior portrayal of feasible improvement instruments in the incorporated models,
for example concerning the impacts of bioenergy use.
A.Coester analyzed the economics of five policy scenarios designed to secure both electricity
supply and renewable energy expansion in his paper Economics of renewable energy
expansion and security of supply: A dynamic simulation of the German electricity market
(2018) in which he came up with findings that we created five strategy situations proposing to
verify the power supply just as a sustainable power source extension. Our outcomes show that
the green help strategy situation prompts a decline in the power value near zero, which thusly,
requires extremely huge sponsorships to make up for the misfortunes of influence plants. Then
again, our examination uncovers that the managed sustainable power source adjustment
arrangement situation brings about the most reduced endowments important to keep up the
security of supply. In any case, the free market green arrangement situation seems, by all
accounts, to be the most cost-proficient alternative, when we consider the outside expenses of
power age. This is a direct result of the free market green arrangement situation that prompts the
most minimal CO2 discharges.
F. J Johnstone submitted his paper on Fire, climate change, and forest resilience in interior
Alaska (2010) to find boreal forests of interior Alaska, feedbacks that link forest soils, fire
characteristics, and plant traits have supported stable cycles of forest succession for the past 6000
years and he found that either diminishing the overall cost of sustainable power source
comparative with petroleum derivatives or by expanding interest for power produced from
inexhaustible sources, such strategy estimates will give expanded returns by the ID of
increasingly proficient types of power age utilizing sustainable power sources.
J.Lipp in paper Lessons for effective renewable electricity policy from Denmark, Germany
and the United Kingdom (2007) in that he focused on the effectiveness of energy security, CO2
reduction, and economic development which resulted that Sustainable commitment makes the
three dangers which are value hazard (cost isn't known for the present moment), volume chance
(deal control is unsure later on) and advertise chance (age worth can be diverse as indicated by
showcase rules).
H.Siniharju in his paper Policy instruments for climate policy and renewable energy
generation-A comparative literature survey (2009) to find and compare valuable current
research about policy instruments for climate policy and renewable energy generation and which
resulted in an outside cost is an expense borne not by the maker yet by other individuals. On the
off chance that externalities are not considered, supply depends on just the generation cost, not
on the cost that it incurs on others

utilization. Further, we lead a board Granger causality test to confirm the effect of a sustainable
power source and financial development. Exact outcomes show that interest in sustainable power
sources, including bioenergy, sun oriented vitality, and hydropower, to sure, improve the rustic
family economy in China.
Y.Zhang wanted to examine the relationship between opportunity-based entrepreneurship and
the environmental quality of sustainable development in the paper Opportunity-based
entrepreneurship and environmental quality of sustainable development: A resource and
institutional perspective(2020) and results of this study shows that the opportunity-based
business enterprise has a positive relationship with the natural nature of maintainable
improvement. An examination of directing impacts exhibits that regulative, regularizing and
intellectual elements have positive directing consequences for the connection between
circumstance based enterprise and the ecological nature of manageable advancement. A
significant ramification is the need to concentrate on practical advancement, particularly
ecological quality, and to elevate opportunity-based business enterprise to unravel natural issues.

situations and new criteria for the choice of pointers: the importance of the pointer for certain
waste treatment. The model is checked for the situation investigation of the city of Niš. Four
situations were chosen and analyzed: the same old thing situation (landfilling of waste) and the
other are made as situations with vitality recuperation and recourses saving: treating the soil
natural waste with reusing inorganic waste, cremation of waste and anaerobic assimilation of
waste.
C.Bourcet in his paper Empirical determinants of renewable energy deployment: A
systematic literature review (2020) wanted to review the developing, however, restricted, the
group of writing that has arisen in the late 2000s to contemplate the quantitative determinants of
RE improvement at a national level and its outcomes shows that there is little agreement because
of the financial, natural, and vitality related determinants overwhelmingly examined. The other
principle determinants considered are administrative, political, and segment. Results are
frequently tempered by the way that creators utilize assorted proportions of RE arrangement and
have an assortment of systems. This paper closes with a few suggestions to improve the likeness
of future papers to upgrade their capability to make tenable open approach proposals. All the
more explicitly, the proposals concern the decision of a RE arrangement pointer, the
determinants considered for additional investigation, and the techniques received.
T.Sharma submitted his paper Will the integration of renewable energy enable the
sustainable transition of the Indian electricity system? (2018) in which he attempts to verify
whether these changes lead to a supportable power framework as estimated through three
measurements – financial, social and ecological and he performed by embracing an incorporated
structure, which associates the pointer-based multi-various leveled and a multidimensional large
scale model of power framework supportability evaluation with the base up advancement model
of age extension arranging and age planning. We investigate various situations and portray the
Indian power framework on select pointers under three supportability measurements.
A. Gasparatos discussed the suggestions that emerge with the choice of explicit maintainability
assessment instruments in his paper Embedded value systems in sustainability assessment
tools and their implications (2010) and Sustainability evaluation instruments are
conceptualized right now esteem articulating establishments and as such their decision is a long
way from a trifling issue. Their decision can involve different moral and down to earth
repercussions. Be that as it may, by and large, the decision of the assessment instrument is made
by the analyst(s) without mulling over the estimations of the influenced partners.
T.Hacking in his paper A framework for clarifying the meaning of Triple Bottom-Line,
Integrated, and Sustainability Assessment (2007) paper presents the discoveries of a writing
survey embraced to recognize the highlights that are ordinarily advanced for improving the SD-
directedness of evaluations and A system is created which accommodates the wide scope of
developing methodologies and handles the conflicting utilization of wording. The system
contains a three-dimensional space characterized by the accompanying tomahawks: the
exhaustiveness of the SD inclusion; the level of 'mix' of the strategies and topics; and the degree
to which a vital point of view is embraced. By applying the system, appraisal approaches can be
situated comparatively with each other, empowering examination based on substance instead of
semantics.
Weiwei. Li evaluated the sustainability of the 9 China’s national central cities using the coupling
coordination model in his paper Assessment of city sustainability—Coupling coordinated
development among economy, society and environment (2020) the assessment results show
that the coordination improvement among the economy, society, and condition of the urban areas
was not perfect. Just a single city, Beijing, situated in a decent coordination grade. The
fundamental explanation is the lower advancement of monetary manageability. Arrangement
proposals were given to address the issue. Moreover, the paper reasons that there is an
extraordinary opportunity to get better in the planned improvement of the urban communities
since they demonstrated an expanding pattern in composed advancement and the financial
development rate was moderately high.
