Ener-G

From a technology company where everyday all I heard was something related to coding, software, security et all to a renewable energy company, where each day what I hear is subjects like sustainable development, environment, non conventional sources of energy, systems…. it has been an interesting transition from a software company to SunTechnics.

I have been reading about the energy sector and thought would share my views…

We all dream of being citizens of a self sufficient country. We felt proud on going nuclear. But, as far as energy scenario in India is concerned, there is a long way to go.

There are thousands of villages that are still un-electrified. There are millions of homes in the urban area who witness scheduled or unscheduled power cuts. There are n numbers of industries concerned about their rising electricity bills. To bridge the gap between energy supply and demand, more energy generating engines are required. However, more generators would mean requirement for more fuel, which itself is getting scarce. Burning fuel also means emission of harmful gases into the environment resulting in global warming which in turn results in causing natural disasters.

Distressing situations like this have forced both developed and developing countries to sit up and debate on the future of energy security. A sudden need of identifying alternate source of energy has surfaced. ‘Renewables’ is no longer an alien subject in the west, yet to pick up in India.

Interesting news for you could be that India is the only country which has a ministry that is responsible for the promotion of renewable energies. It’s called The Indian Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES). MNES has set for itself a goal of supplying about ten percent of the total power demand from renewable energies by 2012.

The team here at SunTechnics shares a common dream of giving back to the environment, energy in all possible non-conventional forms and fosters an eco friendly self-sustaining energy ecosystem.

Well I cant even say let’s wait and watch how fast this positive turnaround happens…for in future I do see us- ‘the common man’ playing a key role in just not conserving energy but generating it too!

Signing off at a happy thought of picturing the future generation staying in a greener and cleaner space….

Cheers!
