For
Want of Power
?
Business Line ( 04 Oct ) carries a news report which
reads :
“ NALCO , GMDC drop plan for smelter
project in Kutch “
It gives following reason :
“ Later , in 2013 , Nalco raised concerns about the extensive power
consumption in Smelter for converting alumina into aluminium . Nalco had asked
GMDC to arrange electricity at a rate of up to Rs 2.2 per unit to make the
smelter project viable “
Apparently , officers of NALCO / GMDC ,
had missed reading my following blogs :
Piyush Goyal is a Visionary ! [ 19 March

==============================================
Blog Extract :
Dear Piyush Goyalji :
Please expedite your approval of the
proposal submitted by the Power Grid Corporation of India , to generate 315.7 GW of Solar power in the deserts
of Rajasthan / Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti /
Ladakh
Make a beginning
with 10 GW
That will enable you to provide power
to homes / offices and factories all over India at Rs 1.0 per Kwh !
Then
challenge Elon Musk , to set up 100 BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS ( of 100 MW each ) all over India , using his POWERPACK batteries , the way he plans to do in Australia

Fortunately for us in India , Shri
Piyush Goyal ( Minister for Power ) is one such politician
His ministry ( MNRE ) is examining a
proposal submitted by the Power Grid Corporation of India , to generate Solar
and Wind power in the deserts of Rajasthan
/ Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti / Ladakh
These deserts have , between them ,
the potential to generate 315.7 GW of
Solar plus Wind power !
And when this becomes a reality , sun
shining over Ladakh will light up a lamp in Andaman-Nikobar islands !
For the entire project , the
investments envisaged are :
# By 2022............. Rs
2 lakh*crore
# By 2032..............Rs
16 lakh*crore
# By
2050........... Rs 43 lakh*crore
Now consider this :
#
A 1mw Solar
project would need Rs 6 Crores and need 2.5 acre of land ( 1 hectare
)
# For that one million
ton alumina project , GMDC-NALCO would have a need for
# That means a 75 MW solar power project
would have cost , only Rs 450 cr ( in a total
Of course , there would be additional investment in GRID
SIZE power storage
I hope the new Minister for Renewable
Energy , Shri
R K Singhji , would give a push to the proposal
submitted by the Power Grid Corporation of India
