Speaking at the valedictory function to mark the closing of the GREEN Summit 2014, Shri. D.K.Shivakumar,
Hon’ ble Minister for Energy, Government of Karnataka said, “India has
been witnessing a compounded commercial energy consumption growth of
around 6 percent per year, primarily to meet its aspirations for
economic growth and increasing population. In spite of this energy
growth rate, electricity demand fell short of the demand leaving
millions of households without electricity access. Another dimension of
energy use pertained to rural areas where over three-fourth of the
people still used traditional biomass. The environmental and sustainable
issues linked to energy generation and consumption have led to a
renewed focus on access, health, climate and environmental protection
and is also enhancing energy security with diversification and
resilience of energy supply”, he added. He encouraged the RE industry
and government to join hands in taking up the challenge to make
renewable energy technologies convenient, efficient, safe, and
affordable.
