| Abstract: |
In the last few years, the cost of gridconnected
solar photovoltaic (PV) power
has come down drastically. There is
strong evidence from international studies
that the levelized cost of solar power
is on par with coal-fired power plants
when the cost of externalities (greenhouse
gas emissions, air pollution and
ash disposal) is taken into account. A
one-day workshop was held recently to
explore how far these cost trends of solar
and coal-fired power plants are valid in
the Indian context. The workshop was
targeted at various players in the power
sector, such as decision-makers, bureaucrats,
think-tanks, power generation and
distribution companies, academic institutes
and grass-root organizations. |
