  • Abstract:
  • Electricity generation from conventional/ thermal power plants which includes mainly coal, lignite, gas and diesel fuel still dominates in the world’s total electricity generation. In India the installed capacity of Thermal power generation constitutes 61.7 % of total installed capacity, whereas,the installed capacity of renewable sources of powerwhich includes solar, wind, biomass, small hydro (</=25MW), and waste to energy is 24.2% of total installed capacity. (Ministry of Power, GOI, 2021). In the world, the share of renewable electricity generation is 26.2% as compared to thermal electricity generation of 60%. (International Energy Agency, 2021). In-order to meet International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of renewable energy generation share of 50% of total energy generation by 2030, government of many countries implementing various energy policies to promote electricity generation through renewable energy source. (IEA, 2021). In India, the growth of electricity generation from renewable energy source between 2014-15 to 2019-20 is 9.12 % while there is a reduction in growth of electricity generation from thermal energy sources by 2.75% during the same period. (Ministry of Power, GOI, 2021). In global scenario between 1971 – 2017, share of electricity generation from renewable sources has grown by 7.1%. (IEA, 2021). Therefore, the use of renewable energy mainly solar and wind will be the main source for electricity and other use by the world. (IEA, 2021). This will reduce the green house carbon emission and support the Paris accord 2015’s goal of limiting global warming through reduction of greenhouse emission. In recent years, solar energy is being extensible used in India to generate electricity, cooking of foods, heating water, and air conditioning system due to rapid cost reduction and government of India’s policy support such as buy-all/sell-all/annual net metering with retail price remuneration, subsidies in solar equipment etc. A detail study of NGOs is felt necessary to understand how NGOs contributing SDG and also reaping the benefit of renewable energy to reduce their establishment’s running cost which is always a big challenge for them.
