India Calls for Establishing an International Clean Energy Data-Grid
‘Data on Green and Unclean Energy Should be in Public Domain’: Environment Minister
India has
given a call for the establishment of an International Clean Energy
Data-Grid, that is corruption-free. Speaking at the day-long National
Conference on Energy Data: Management, Modelling and GIS Mapping
organised by NITI Aayog here today, Minister of State (Independent
Charge) of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Shri Anil Madhav
Dave, said that such an International Grid is a must, as common has the
right to access data. Shri Dave said that the data must pertain to
both, production as well as consumption patterns of a society.
The Environment Minister also pointed out that the world will have to
understand the difference between clean and unclean energy. He also
said that data on green energy and unclean energy should be made
available in the public domain. He added that till the common man
realises that the energy being used is unclean, the day will never come
when the world will shift towards using clean energy. Shri Dave stated
that such a shift will come about only through data that is stored and
analysed properly. “Facts projected through correct data will lead us
in the right direction”, Shri Dave said.
Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative to establish an
International Solar Alliance, the Environment Minister emphasised that
solar energy is the answer to energy requirements of the future. Shri
Dave also strongly advocated disciplined consumption in every field, be
it in the consumption of power to reduce the burden on power production.
