Why Solar ?

The most employment-intensive energy resource.

A fixed cost resource to balance variable cost fossil.

Private Investment to Leverage Public Dollars.

High-Reliability.

Clean & Green.

Renewable source.

Solar City• The Solar City aims at minimum % of reduction in projected

demand of conventional energy through a combination of

enhancing supply from renewable energy sources in the city

and energy efficiency measures.

• In a Solar City all types of renewable energy based projects like

solar, wind, bio mass, small hydro, waste to energy etc.

• May be installed along with possible energy efficiency

measures depending on the need and resource availability in

the city.

Objectives• To Create a Self-sustained City.

• Green & Energy Efficient City.

• To enable and empower Urban Local Governments to address energy

challenges at City-level.

• To provide a framework and support to prepare a Master Plan including

assessment of current energy situation, future demand and action

plans.

• To involve various stakeholders in the planning process.

• To oversee the implementation of sustainable energy options through

public & private partnerships….Etc.

Selection of cities - Solar cityThe City is identified based on ;

• City population.

• Potential and commitment for adoption of renewable energy & Energy

conservation in the city activities.

• Initiatives already taken by City Council / Administration/ Private Developers /

Industry / General.

• Public in promoting renewable energy and energy conservation, regulatory

measures taken on deployment of renewable energy technologies and their

willingness to provide resources and sustenance of activities initiated under the

program.

Commercial & Institutional Sector Industrial Sector Government & Municipal

Sector

Solar City - India• The “Development of Solar Cities” programme by the

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) GOI is an

immense opportunity for contributing towards a sustainable

India in the coming years.

• As part of the 11th Five year plan ,demand forecasting for the

years 2013 and 2018, this programme is a crucial step

towards supporting Indian cities for the development of

renewable energy and energy efficiency projects and curbing

conventional energy demand by 10% in the next five years.

Cities to be developed as Solar cities• The Proposals received and the cities identified by some of the

State Governments so far are 48 cities, Sanctions have been given

to 31 cities.

Master Plan for Solar city• To create “Solar City Cell” & constitute a “Solar City Stake Holders

Committee”

• To promote National Rating System for construction of energy efficient

Green Buildings in particular to commercial and institutional buildings

• To organize rigorous publicity, and also the training programmes/ business

meets for various stake holders.,e.g..architects, engineers, builders &

developers, financial institutions, NGOs, technical institutions,

manufactures/suppliers, Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) etc. so as to

involve them actively in meeting the objective of solar city.

• To generate necessary funds from State Govt. and other funding

organizations for achieving the objective of making the city as “Solar City”.

Case Study - Agra as Solar city

• City is situated in Western U.P

• It is 27.11' degree Latitude North & 78.0' degree Longitude East.

• Its Altitude is 169 meters above sea level. It is situated on the

bank of Yamuna River.

• Maximum Temperature in Summer is 45oC & minimum

temperature is about 21.9oC and

• In inter maximum temperature is 31.7oC & minimum

temperature is about 4.2oC.

City Urban Services• Administrative Services,

• Water Supply,

• Solid Waste Generation – 628 MT/Day,

• Street Lights – 28,048

• Public Health,

• Education – 1500 Centers,

• Town Planning

Coimbatore

Mastering Solar city as Coimbatore• Coimbatore, National Earth Hour Capital of India 2014, is one of 36 cities that

has finalized its solar city master plan as part of its participation in India’s

National Solar Cities Programme.

• The plan includes the goal to reduce conventional energy consumption by 10%

within five years, through investment in renewables and energy efficiency

measures.

• As a first step, the city has started to install solar photovoltaic panels (PVs) on all

municipal buildings, and is completing its energy-saving project for street lights

by using timers, dimmers, electronic meters, and LEDs.

Conclusion

• Many cities around the world are setting targets and

introducing polices for promoting renewable energy

and reducing GHG emissions, India might get added

upon that list.
