Replacing
the Broken Electrical Grid with Renewable Sources
It’s
plain for anyone to see that the energy grid in India is broken and that more
diesel fuel is not a viable answer. The two billion litres of fuel being
consumed now is very expensive and adds enormously to the pollution. Indian
companies are now aiming to reduce coal and diesel dependency while cutting
carbon emissions at both urban and rural towers. Their solution is creating a
hybrid power that combines grid power and renewable energy sources.
OMC
Sets Up Community Power Stations
OMC is
one company that has stepped in to develop clean energy for use by private
individuals and businesses in India. OMC has been building and managing
operations of industrial scale micropower plants that are capable of supplying
power to rural communities and for mobile networks. OMC teamed up with the
largest provider of mobile phones in India, Bharti Infratel, to create
Community Power stations, which will switch dependence on the current power
grid to a cleaner form of renewable energy.
The
involvement with OMC in providing renewable and clean energy to India works
well for India’s rural citizens as well as powering mobile phones throughout
the country.
