Chennai: The 8th edition of Tan Energy Summit 2018 on the theme Making
\nSmart Energy A Reality opened here on Tuesday on a promising note with
\nMd Nasimuddin, Principal Secretary, Energy Department, Government of
\nTamil Nadu, stressing on the need to build a robust grid system for
\ntraditional and renewable energy on the lines of countries like
\nGermany, Elaborating on the aspect of India’s potential in harnessing renewable
\nenergy’ both through solar, wind and other modes, he said that all
\nthis should be made possible without any disruption to the normal
\nsystem.<\/p>\n

Dwelling at length on the devastation caused by Cyclone Gaja to
\nseveral districts in Tamil Nadu, particularly the coastal and delta
\nregions, Nasimuddin noted that the time had come to strengthen our
\nelectrical cable systems in the wake of enormous destruction caused to
\n2.25 lakh electric poles in those regions during the calamity.
\n“We have learnt a lesson for redesigning and reinforcing the electric
\npoles,”<\/p>\n

He wanted everything should be made viable in energy production with
\nproper integration of traditional and renewable ones apart from the
\ncreation of a smart and robust grid system as the government would be
\never willing to help all the stakeholders on that count.
\n“The work is happening to systemise for an equitable distribution of
\nenergy so that everyone could be benefited as also energy at
\naffordable rates with the help of Tangedco, The government and FICCI
\ncan work together toward realizing the common goal,” he said.
\nM Nandakumar, Convenor, Energy Panel, FICCI TNSC & Managing Director,
\nEDAC Engineering, in his theme address, said that the theme of the
\nsummit centred around smart energy which would benefit the
\nenvironment. “The renewable energy sector has the potential to create an economy
\nof dollar 12 trillion, besides providing jobs to millions of people in
\nthe long run apart from business opportunities to several
\nstakeholders,” he said.<\/p>\n

M Umapathi, Chairman & Managing Director, Voltech Group, said Tamil
\nNadu had already become a surplus energy state thanks to the
\ninvolvement of renewable energy to a great extent.
\n`If renewable energy is harnessed properly in Tamil Nadu, we can sell
\nthe surplus energy to other states,” he said and added, “The
\nsolution lies in smart energy systems with the proper creation of a
\nrobust grid for wind and solar, all for the benefit of mankind.”
\nHe wanted the government to create an environment with the integration
\nof diverse components and technologies as also the formation of a
\nsystem to store energy for better use.
\nHe predicted that a time would come for 100 per cent dependence on
\nrenewable energy and domestic and commercial segments should have the
\nbenefit of the deregulation in power.
\nMichael Costa, Deputy Consul General, Australian Consulate-General
\nChennai. said that India and Australia could have a strategy in the
\ndomain of renewable energy in that both countries would benefit
\nenormously. Calling for energy security, he said that Australia would be in a
\nposition to help India on that aspect besides developing high capacity
\ntransmission lines for power.<\/p>\n

Ar Rm Arun, Chairman, FICCI TNSC & Chairman, Valingro Group, said that
\nthe flagship programme by FICCI would deliberate on ways to create a
\nrobust energy system with a projected outlay of 1000 MW of solar
\npower in the current fiscal encompassing both domestic and commercial
\nsides. He spoke at length on the variants of solar and battery technology and
\nthe much-talked about e-vehicles that could be mandated by the country
\nsoon with a pointed reference to make use of petrol bunks as battery
\ncharging centres for e-vehicles. He further said that FICCI energy committee worked closely with the
\ngovernment in the field of renewable energy what with a 20-year road
\nmap for future energy programmes.<\/p>\n

Mr. Robin Hobday, Head, FICCI TNSC, outlined the theme of the summit and
\ncoordinated with the day-long sessions. The summit also witnessed deliberations of all kinds during sessions like The Right Power Mix for A Renewable Era, Energy and Environment –
\nA New Era, Renewable Energy Sector-Current Trends and Renewable
\nEnergy- Investment Opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
