Renewable energy has the advantage of allowing decentralized distribution of energy – particularly for meeting rural energy needs, and thereby empowering people at the grass roots level. India’s plan for renewable energy is driven by the objectives of energy security, energy access and reducing the carbon footprints of the national energy systems. Renewables have created new opportunities and business spaces and are contributing in the areas of livelihood, water, health and innovations in products, services and business models.
