EnergyRevolution.in
has a long term plan and we're just starting out.
The actual petition text will evolve slowly. The
petition will be addressed to Farooq Abdullah,
Minister for New and Renewable Energy. We pull
push for various reforms in the energy sector,
including:
- The formation of rural communities that
install and run (with govt. assistance) renewable
energy installations for powering villages.
- Ensuring that all energy derived from renewable
installations is provided to end users at
the lowest cost possible.
- Removing barriers in the development of
non-conventional energy systems.
- Modifying laws to promote renewable energy
sources by providing a tax-free, incentive-based
model for national and private firms that
produce tangible, efficiently-used power that
is provided free for citizens
- Promotion of renewable energy sources in
the mainstream. Encourage citizens to make
urban and rural homes less dependent on traditional
power sources. Push development of small captive
non-conventional power plants that can power
small communities.
- Spreading awareness, especially amongst
citizens in mass media, about there being
an option
- Establishing India as an R&D hub in
green technology by providing incentives for
the right companies to set up shop and promoting
renewable energy in anyway they can.
There might be an additional petition that
we may send to a private energy companies that
have a green portfolio or participate/promote
renewable energy sources or products.
Additionally, we are also working on putting
together a comprehensive project report of reforms
and its implementation that can be discussed
and modified by the community, before it is
presented to the ministry.
