All the same, the ASSOCHAM-EY paper pointed out that against peak electricity demand of 29,975 MW, the projected installed capacity of the RE resources would be 21,508 MW.

"Let us give credit to the state for a laudable work done in the area of non-conventional energy. The other progressive states in the area of RE are Gujarat, Rajasthan and Rajasthan. But the interest is still limited to a few states. If only rest of the states follow and exploit the abundant natural resources of wind, energy and bio-mass, India can be on top of the world league for green economy," D S Rawat, Secretary General, ASSOCHAM.
