India’s prime minister has launched an international solar alliance of over 120 countries with the French president, François Hollande, at the Paris COP 21 climate summit. The Alliance is likely to boost the absorption and deployment of solar power, which has already seen exponential expansion in the last five years — between 2010 and 2014, the installed capacity of solar energy across the world has grown from 23 GW to about 180 GW.
About The Alliance
Contribution of India
India will provide money and infrastructure to this alliance. India has committed itself to providing Rs 400 crore over the next five years to building infrastructure and meeting recurring costs. A secretariat is being set up in New Delhi. Till a building is constructed, the secretariat will function from the Delhi-based National Institute of Solar Energy. India is leading world from the front by launching various initiatives regarding solar energy. India has a capacity of 4 GW and has set a target of adding 100 GW of solar power by 2022.
Ray of Hope
More than 180 nations have submitted national action plans, but they are not enough to achieve a goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times . solar energy will help to reduce the emission of green house gases. The alliance from both developed and developing countries aims to mobilise USD 1 trillion by 2030 to be invested in the generation of clean solar energy. The Solar Alliance model, if it succeeds, can potentially be extended to other forms of renewable energy like wind or biogas. It can, in turn, foster south-south cooperation and bring transformational changes in providing affordable access to energy in poorer countries, and lift living standards.
It is a truly brightening move. This will undoubtedly encourage global corporates to initiate more bold steps in utilising solar power. This initiative is bound to have a knock-on effect on other forms of renewable energy as well.
