India faces an enormous challenge in meeting its energy requirement over the
coming 25 years to support a growth rate of 8 percent. This challenge can be met
with a coherent approach which develops all her energy resources. The robust
economy and the rising demand is a good sign of investing in the energy sector
now when the government is extending all the tax benefits and incentives. A long
term investment will yield benefits more than any other investment. The Choice
of renewal energy to invest in is the question. Wind power and solar energy
promise a good option with abundance of resource and easy distribution.
Climate change concerns, coupled with high oil prices, peak oil, and increasing
government support, are driving increasing renewable energy legislation,
incentives and commercialization. New government spending, regulation and
policies helped the industry weather the 2009 economic crisis better than many
other sectors. Main forms of renewable energy : Wind power ,Hydropower, Solar
energy , Bio fuel, Geothermal energy.
