SOLARGIZE - KSHITIJ 2011 - Industrial Design Problem By General Electric (GE)

SOLARGIZE - KSHITIJ 2011 - Industrial Design Problem By General Electric (GE)

Details of Event: Solargize

India has an estimated power requirement between 800,000 MW and 950,000MW by 2030. To help India meet its gigantic future energy requirements, the Prime Minister has expressed the need to develop public private partnerships in ways and means to meet the estimated Rs.60,000 billion ($1.2 trillion) investment required over next 25 years to provide electricity to consumers at affordable cost.

The limited supplies, uneven distribution, and rising costs of fossil fuels, such as oil and gas, create a need to change to more sustainable energy sources in the foreseeable future. Pointing out that India is short of energy resources like oil, gas and uranium and even coal is not as abundant as is generally believed, there is a high focus on tapping the abundant renewable sources like solar power. Hence over the coming decades one of India's greatest challenge will be to secure diversified sources of energy.

The project should aim at developing a business model to tap the potential market segment in India.
Incentives:

1) Prize money of INR 85,000 for the IDP
