In the latest phase of his government\u2019s exciting policy development, the Indian government has announced the <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/2015-02-17\/news\/59232410_1_ireda-solar-capacity-renewable-energy-minister\" target=\"_blank\">creation of a federation of 50 solar power-rich nations<\/a> with India at the head of the grouping.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>India as a global solar superpower? Is this overly ambitious? Not if you listen to Piyush Goyal, India\u2019s Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy Minister in his statement to the press last week.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are going to work with the World Economic Forum, IREDA ( Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency) to build a consortium of renewable energy countries in the days ahead,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We will work together to make India renewable energy capital of the world.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Goyal was echoing the determination of his prime minister in moulding India&#8217;s energy policy towards renewables.<\/p>\n<p>Jobs will be one of the major beneficiaries of Prime Minister Modi\u2019s plan to create 100 gigawatt of solar energy by 2022 with an estimated one million people employed in the industry according to Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPrime Minister Modi\u2019s clean energy plan creates enormous potential for India\u2019s booming population. It provides job opportunities and access to electricity that will power rapidly growing cities and villages,\u201d said Anjali Jaiswal, Director of NRDC\u2019s India Initiative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>PM Modi has described the narrowing of the gap between traditional power and renewable energy as a \u201cgamechanger\u201d and the reason behind the massive investment in the sector in his country.<\/p>\n<p>India faces a number of challenges before it can become the head of a federation of solar-power rich nations. As well as the current reliance on coal-fired plants in many states, there is the lack of a tradition of renewable energy in the country. Indeed India has only about 3 gigawatt solar energy capacity out of a total clean energy output of 33 gigawatts.<\/p>\n<p>However with a huge economy, coupled with an energetic policy by the federal government, lowering solar power costs, an emphasis on jobs and encouragement of overseas investment, you have the ingredients of India\u2019s renewable energy sector of the future.
