may power EV charging /
ET / 25 April 2022
Extract :
Ø "Open access is for entities buying more than 1 MW of power. But none of the
charging stations will have 1 MW at one location. The draft green open access
rules lowers the threshold to 100 kW for consumers. Though not intended only for
EV, it is an excellent opportunity to make them completely green," said Awadesh
Jha, executive director (charge and drive) at Fortum and chairman of national
committee on future mobility at CII.
( fortum.india@fortum.com /jha_k3@hotmail.com /
He said this is the first of its
kind initiative in the world.
“This brings the EV ecosystem a step closer to Europe, where Fortum customers if
they are charging from a particular location, are informed they are charging their
vehicle from wind or solar,” he said.
Ø
Ø A policy directive enabling any consumer above 100 kW hour load, including
residential societies, commercial complexes or charging stations, to source
green electricity from any source other than the local distribution supplier has been
announced by the government. Sources in the government said the rules are at the
stage of final legal vetting. The Draft Electricity (Promoting Renewable Energy
Through Green Energy Open Access) Rules, 2021 were
issued in August last year.
MY TAKE :

Solar
Power Based Charging Station ? …………..[ 06 June 2018 ]
Extract :
Ø But , if we must have Battery Charging Stations , the least we can do is to have
these depend upon Solar Power and not
dirty , coal-based electricity
Ø If Indian Oil / Hindustan Petroleum etc do not step in fast ( to obsolete
themselves ) , then it is quite possible that innovators like Chetan Maini / Pawan
Goenka etc would obsolete them !
Ø Clean
Energy pumping Dirty Fuel ?.......... [ 08 Dec 2018 ]
Extract :
· Oil companies are planning to install Solar Panels on Petrol Pumps , to
replace Dirty Electric Power
coming
Indian Oil ……………………………………… 27,377 pumps
· Hindustan
Petroleum………………………. 15,287 pumps
· Bharat
Petroleum…………………………… 14,500 pumps
· Indian
Oil target ………………. 1,140 pumps
PER MONTH ( all in 24 months )
· Cost
of 25 Kw PV installation………… Rs 13.5 Lakh
· Reduction
in Power cost per year….. Rs 7 Lakhs (
50 % of current cost )
but also because it heralds a “ re-inventing “ of energy-retailing business for
these Oil giants which have , as of now , enjoyed a near monopoly of the Energy
Distribution market
I get a feeling that they asked of
themselves :
Are we in the business
of pumping liquids in the
tanks of petrol / diesel vehicles ?
Or , are we into energizing Electric Vehicles by re-charging their Lithium-ion
batteries ?
Can we take the first step
by installing Solar Panels at our pumps ?
Then gradually convert
these pumps to pump Electricity ( invisible fluid ) ?
Dear Shri R
K Singhji,
Oil Majors may have made the correct “ Political Noises “ 3 years ago but the
ground reality looks very different !
For companies which have enjoyed “ Absolute and Total Monopoly “ in selling
DIRTY ENERGY for decades , it is quite understandable that they fear “
Obsolescence “
Only you are in the position to tell
them the BITTER TRUTH :
“
If you don’t make yourself obsolete – and
FAST – then someone else will “
