SDG 7: AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY

National Policy Interface

  • Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) model can extend to all components of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyaan (PM-KUSUM) initiative.
  • Integrating remote monitoring and control systems into solar pumps enhances energy and water conservation efforts.
  • Agriculture Demand Side Management (AgDSM) initiative should extend its focus beyond energy-efficient pumps to encompass various technologies throughout the agricultural value chain, promoting energy conservation comprehensively.
  • The National Smart-grid Mission, currently emphasizing agri-solar pumps, should extend its promotion to post-production grids, ensuring a clean energy transition and adopting a whole-of-value-chain approach.
