20% indians dont have electricity access?? What's the source man?? It was true but 10 years ago. In 2010 India had 80% electricity penetration but now it is nearly 99%
-
A 30 gw park is being built in india. It is going to dwarf any other solar park in the world...
-
42% of indias power needs are produced by renewables, and this will be 50% by 2027-28.
-
The video is 5 months old, but the data you used w.r.t. the electricity coverage in India is 10 years old. 99% coverage today vs 80% in 2010 (which is what you claimed it was today).
-
Impressive and I thought the 6.25 square mile 300MW solar farm my company is currently building was huge.
-
Not only this. How about a fun fact. World's first operational solar powered airport is also from india at kochi international airport, Kerala.
-
Spolar had me doing a double-take. 😄
-
That's a lot of solar panels. I hope it works out for them.

It's fascinating how Western media tends to showcase only the impoverished regions of India, as if the country is the sole abode of poverty and underdevelopment. Apparently, the rest of the world is far too superior and has no traces of poverty or lack of progress. Such biased representation only reinforces the stereotypes surrounding India and hinders the country's growth and perception on a global level. It's time we shed light on the diversity and richness of India, rather than just one aspect.

Just FYI Simon, the decimal denomination of rupee isn’t “Rupee cent”, it’s Paisa. So for example ₹10.65 would be 10 rupees and 65 paisa. Hope you incorporate this in any future videos related to India. Best Wishes, keep up the good work!

Love all the geniuses in the comments going on about how the Hover Dam is better. 1) There's no big river in that part of India, so they really can only use solar/wind power. 2) The sun will always be there. The Hoover Dam is in danger of running dry due to the river level dropping to the point the Dam won't be able to function.

Oh, good job India! I love that developing economies are not beholden to the capital inertia of legacy technologies, especially when those legacy technologies threaten the survival of our species.

bigger parks should be built all around india, and should be used to power the growing manufacturing industry
-
Solar panels have gotten so cheap that I built a system for what it costs for the local electrical utility to install a power pole. $3500. I have two kilowatts which is all I need. The only recurring cost is battery replacement.
-
I appreciate ur video but I suggest u to refer to Present Data. Ur data is frm 2000s. According to 2020 data 99% of Indians have access to electricity. . Btw 1% in 1.4billion is a huge amount too and rate of electricity is growing at 1.6
-
I have worked on Bhadla Solar park. It's interesting .
-
I checked the world bank data about %of people in india having access to electricity. It says 99%, not sure from where you got your facts about India’s 20% not having access to electricity.
-
As of February 31st 2023, India currently has 64 gigawatts of solar power output, which is ranked 4th in the world. hope that they reach 1st and male India energy independent from external sources.
-
The government of India is also aiming for decentralization of the energy supply. They provide a 40% subsidy on solar panels if you install them on your house rooftop. We are currently getting 3.4 kW panels installed on our house rooftop. It will be directly connected to the grid so that any additional energy generated (after our usage) will be supplied to the nearest power station and the power company will pay us for that.
