Renewable Energy: A best option to overcome India's energy crunch

摘要

Electricity is a most powerful tool for building modern societies and it plays a critical role in eradicating poverty and boosting economies.

In the developing world, rolling blackouts are still common, placing citizens and businesses in the dark and off-line for hours. So is the case with India, one of the world's fastest-growing economies. The country lacks adequate generation capacity and electricity distribution to meet its current needs and support its future growth.
