GS 3, Infrastructure: Energy
Facts for Prelims: Govt Schemes
✅ Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana
What is it?
🔴 New programme to install rooftop solar systems on 1 crore houses.
Why?
🔴 Ensuring energy security
🔴 Effecting a transition to non-fossil sources of energy
🔴 Increasing energy access
🔴 Target of 40 GW solar rooftop capacity by 2026.
🔴 Huge potential for residential sector: Bulk of the current rooftop installations have happened in the commercial & industrial sectors with residential sector accounting for just 20% of the installations as per a report by Council on Energy, Environment & Water (CEEW).
🔴 Potential for rooftop solar systems is available uniformly across all states & regions, unlike concentrated generation of electricity through large solar parks that require big corporate investments, open tracts of land, & powerful transmission lines.
🔴 India has an international commitment to ensure that by 2030, about 50% of its installed power capacity will come from non-fossil fuel-based energy sources. This share has already reached 43% with renewables - wind, solar, biogas - contributing 30% of total installed capacity. There is little likelihood of other non-fossil fuel soruces like nuclear or hydro power showing a major surge. In this context, renewable energy, particularly solar, needs to grow.

Facts for Prelims
✅ India to formally join Square Kilometer Array (SKA) Project
What is it?
🔴 An international scientific collaboration working to build the world's largest radio telescope.

Benefit for India:
🔴 Preferential access to the SKA facilities.
🔴 SKA would work on highest-end technologies, including electronics, software, materials science & computing. The intellectual properties generated by the project, though owned by SKA Observatory, would be accessible to all the member countries. It will offer huge learning opportunities for scientists, academics & private industry.
🔴 Expansion in science & technology base in the area along with capacity building & training opportunities.
