A three-day conference on third World Water Summit and 10th World Renewable Energy Technology was organised by Energy and Environment foundation at NDMC Convention Centre in the city. It was held with the support of the Union Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Upendra Tripathy, interim director general of solar alliance inaugurated the event and gave out the Global Excellence Awards for the renewable energy sector. He was also the chief guest at the event.
The experts present there discussed the solutions in terms of energy for the future generations. The audience was also provided the information regarding renewable energy technology, electric utilities and transmission, organic energy, organic fuels and renewable materials. Tripathy said, “Today the solar energy can compete with any kind of other energy, it can be divided into two spectrums of heat and light. But we only use the light, the heat energy is still unused which the industries should use. The solar revolution will only come with the revolution in storage and we are waiting for that day.”
