OBJECTIVE As we move into the twenty-first century, global economic
prosperity is driving the consumption of energy to record levels, with
electricity consumption anticipated to increase at rates faster than overall
energy supply. The vast majority (80 per cent) of energy today is provided from
thermal sources, i.e. coal, gas and oil; but there are growing global concerns
regarding the lack of sustainability of these forms of energy that bring into
question their use in a long-term energy strategy. Concerns over disruptive
fossil fuel markets and uncertain pricing, the current decline of nuclear energy
as a viable energy source and the significant environmental consequences of
thermal energy sources have placed greater emphasis on sustainable energy
policies that include the significant development of renewable energy supplies.
The largest source of renewable energy comes from a proven technology,
hydropower. Hydropower is renewable because it draws its essential energy from
the sun which drives the hydrological cycle which, in turn, provides a
continuous renewable supply of water. Hydropower represents more than 92 percent
of all renewable energy generated, and continues to stand as one of the most
viable sources of new generation into the future. It also provides an option to
store energy, to optimize electricity generation.

Uttarakhand is rich in natural resources like water and accordingly
hydropower. The inherent technical, economic and environmental benefits of
hydroelectric power make it an important contributor to the future world energy
mix, particularly in the neighboring states. These states have a great and
ever-intensifying need for power and water supplies and they also have greatest
remaining hydro potential. Development is a basic human right, as few would
deny. Energy policy makers must meet their responsibility in exploring the most
rational options for meeting the energy needs of the developing world, while
protecting the environment to the maximum possible extent
