21 Jul 2023

Context: 

  • As part of the fourth and final Energy Transitions Working Group meeting under India’s G20 Presidency, the role of Decentralized Renewable Energy (DRE) for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 i.e., ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all was explored.

What is Distributed Energy?

  • Off grid power supply: Distributed renewable energy refers to the generation of power from clean sources like solar and wind energy within a specific area without being connected to the traditional power grid. 
  • Localized power supply and consumption: Unlike grid-scale solar and wind energy, which are connected to the inter-state power transmission system, distributed energy solutions offer a localized power supply.The generated power is consumed locally, reducing the reliance on traditional fossil fuel-based electricity and minimizing transmission losses.
