In order to ensure a holistic and integrated approach to provide electricity, NTPC has undertaken a site specific study through TERI for setting up of DDG (decentralized distributed generation) projects for village electrification.
The broad objectives of the study are as follows.
(1) To assess the electricity demand for selected remote villages. (2) To assess the availability of different renewable energy sources at the village level. (3) To undertake assessment for identifying appropriate decentralized renewable energy supply options to meet the energy needs. (4) To assess and determine modalities for setting up an instititutiional arrangement for operation and management of system. (5)To assess the opportunities of small-scale industries and micro enterprises, and also analyse the social and environmental impacts.
