India on Wednesday called upon the world leaders to bring the global community together to decarbonize the energy sector and make energy accessible using renewable sources of energy.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of International Solar Alliance General Assembly where 106 countries are participating, Union Power Minister R K Singh said solar energy, in particular, is now the most viable option to achieve universal access to sustainable energy due to its affordability and amenability to off-grid solutions.
He said adoption of renewable energy, mainly solar energy, has gained significant momentum since the turn of the past decade. “It is the most viable option for us to rapidly de-carbonize our energy sectors,” the Minister said.
