- India might not have a lot of fossil fuel, but what they do have, is a lot of sun. Now, the Bhadla Solar Park covers 56 square kilometers and has prompted India to invest even more money into renewable energy, making their solar power program the third biggest in the world.

20% indians dont have electricity access?? What's the source man??
It was true but 10 years ago. In 2010 India had 80% electricity penetration but now it is nearly 99%
They use Western media afterall
What can you expect
Bruh they take old reports to make stories and never care about true and latest reports
old reports and they only find poverty ridden areas footage to show india
These western media only concentrate on old and bad phases and repeat to publish it
He is watching through his western white lens
42% of indias power needs are produced by renewables, and this will be 50% by 2027-28.
Not exactly. 42% of installed capacity for electricity production in India is from renewable sources. But fickle nature of renewable installed capacity and outdated (though rapidly modernizing) grid infrastructure in India means that only around 27% of total electricity generation is from renewable sources.
That said, India is doing far more than most developed world economies when it comes to fighting climate change. It is the only G20 nation that pledged something commensurate to 2 degrees warming by 2100 in the 2015 Paris Climate Deal agreement, and is not only on track, but rather ahead of schedule in meeting those goals.
A 30 gw park is being built in india. It is going to dwarf any other solar park in the world...
where?
@@a.rkumar7696 kutch, gujrat
It's wind and solar combined and only a proposal, whereas China is already building a 16 GW solar plant.
@@aravindkartha5145 Land for the project has been allocated and the developers have been awarded the contracts. So I think the project has moved beyond the proposal phase.
Btw, the Chinese project is a hybrid too. It will include photovoltaic, concentrated and wind.
Tata projects, & adani power is recruiting manpower for that project ,it is in Khadla ,in kutch district,gujrat
The video is 5 months old, but the data you used w.r.t. the electricity coverage in India is 10 years old.
99% coverage today vs 80% in 2010 (which is what you claimed it was today).
Very underrated comment......true brother.
I saw it.....at places, he showed the latest data and at others, he showed the outdated ones according to his 'convenience'....i don't know why.....thus discrepancy is comically disgusting
He's British and they always have to bring in some negative facts about others when they speak. Instead, when we make documentaries, we have to counter then with facts like, "India is going to have 450 gw of installed renewable capacity by 2025 which is more than 8 times the total production capacity of Europe's 4th largest economy, Britian"

Impressive and I thought the 6.25 square mile 300MW solar farm my company is currently building was huge.
Yeah, or you could just build a 300MW nuclear reactor that only takes up (and I'm over estimating here) 0.02 square miles.
@@Sgt_SealCluber You could, or you could do both and max out renewable energy production capacity until we beat climate change.
@@domtweed7323 Why renewables can’t save the planet | Michael Shellenberger | TEDxDanubia
@@Sgt_SealCluber I watched it, and he's ignoring geography.
In some areas reliable renewables match up with demand excellently. For example, in hot places where most energy demand is for air conditioning, solar matches up pretty well to day time demand.
In my native UK wind power works best during winter, when we need the power for heating.
The speaker in the video meantions the issues in Germany, but that's a solved knowledge issue. Germany isn't very windy, but if they'd installed those wind turbines a few hundred mile north west, in the North Sea, they'd have a lo lt more power and fairly reliably.
So certain renewables are good for certain geographies. That doesn't make them useless, it makes them a valuable component of the grid mix for most of the world. Alongside nuclear, hydro, tidal, biogas, and other technologies.
@Räche SD Firstly, your just incorrect on energy return on investment. For solar power you get about 15x more out than you put in (I don't know the wind figures off the top of my head, but it's also significantly above 3, the minimum for viable energy returns).
And yes, renewables create some damage to the environment. Just far less than setting off the cascading carbon feedback loops that burning fossil fuels will. But there's no good answer for running a sustainable, environmental friendly developed economy. Renewables/nuclear just allow us to minimise the damage.
Not only this.
How about a fun fact.
World's first operational solar powered airport is also from india at kochi international airport, Kerala.
Spolar had me doing a double-take. 😄
I even googled it 😂, but even Google was like “Yeah, you definitely meant to say Solar, right? Spolar ain’t a thing.”

Actually it was meant for his viewers to understand as most of his viewers are from west
It's fascinating how Western media tends to showcase only the impoverished regions of India, as if the country is the sole abode of poverty and underdevelopment. Apparently, the rest of the world is far too superior and has no traces of poverty or lack of progress. Such biased representation only reinforces the stereotypes surrounding India and hinders the country's growth and perception on a global level. It's time we shed light on the diversity and richness of India, rather than just one aspect.
West overestimates China and underestimates India. Funny that Deng Xiaoping would be proud of India
Cause if you go outside of certain parts of Delhi gurgaon you will found nothing but poverty
Delhi Gurgaon is full India? You think rural areas are not there in Europe?
@@cuteyrahulHave you visited Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Indore,Pune, Nagpur, Warangal, Vijaywada, Vishakapatnam, Coimbatore, Mysuru, etc. I am pretty sure large parts of those cities are developed or atleast some parts of those cities are definitely developed. Do you think every western city is developed?
In terms of relative size of countries and development , USA can be compared to India(even though USA is nearly twice the size of India and have more development ) . USA states such as West Virginia, Arkansas, Montana, New Hampshire, Vermont, New Mexico, South Dakota, Alaska don't have proper development. Some of those states aren't even comparable to Indian states. Many American towns and villages don't have as many businesses as in Indian towns and villages. Many American towns are converting to ghost towns. When you want to do comparison do it properly.

Love all the geniuses in the comments going on about how the Hover Dam is better. 1) There's no big river in that part of India, so they really can only use solar/wind power. 2) The sun will always be there. The Hoover Dam is in danger of running dry due to the river level dropping to the point the Dam won't be able to function.
Why not nuclear energy? That is the most efficient energy and runs 24/7, or just short of. It takes very little space and you don't need to have nearly as much maintenance or material cost. Not to mention the return on investment for energy is absolutely bonkers.
"2) The sun will always be there. " Except at night.... 🤣
@@paulgoodridge2269 not as long as there is no solution for long time storage of nuclear waste. There are only two countries by now who store their nuclear waste for unlimited time. The rest is still struggling to find a storage. Setting all hope on nuclear power is just shifting problems towards future generations. And I'm talking about hundrets of thousand years to deal with the waste.
@@Craftlngo The nuclear waste storage can store a minimum of 200 years worth of waste of which it is just short of 100% of the waste produced by the plants.
Now compare that to fossil fuels and/or renewables of which it is nowhere near that. It is nowhere near that.
Solar panels only last around 5 years and contain chromium, lithium, lead, beryllium, and other hilarious metals that f*** with your lungs. And have to be dismantled and or thrown away. Not to mention are more resource-intensive than nuclear energy. So the waste argument still runs and nuclear energy is favor.
@@Craftlngo you are correct. Nuclear energy has a huge upfront cost, but once you pay the upfront cost the savings are hilarious along with the amount of energy you can produce.
I don't want to know how much energy it took just to mine. All the materials required to build one solar panel and how often they need to be replaced. Less upfront cost but more long-term costs.
Oh, good job India! I love that developing economies are not beholden to the capital inertia of legacy technologies, especially when those legacy technologies threaten the survival of our species.
My God are you that dense? As of now India does not recognize sanctions against Russia! So yes they, are building solar and wind on 100% US subsidies and still buying Russia energy. Like Pakistan and China they could care less how, electricity is produced as long as it's cheap. If America is dumb enough to pay for it,, well so be it! Except they are, still building coal plant's at a breathtaking pace!
Damn... nice one India! Amazing results, number one in solar and outcompeting the USA, China and, in my case, Australia *smh*. There should be a Nobel prize / awards for countries winning the race to Green Energy - an Olympics of Green Energy!
But India has advantages too, though India has less per capita but it is 5th largest Economy so govt can spend $. Also cheap&Skilled labor r available
Similarly like India there r many Developing countries who can work on self-reliance in Solar energy
@@maisakurajima9194 we are building 10 nuclear reactor of 7gw currently under construction and other 4 1000 mw from russia 🇷🇺 👌 😀

bigger parks should be built all around india, and should be used to power the growing manufacturing industry
I have worked on Bhadla Solar park. It's interesting .
As of February 31st 2023, India currently has 64 gigawatts of solar power output, which is ranked 4th in the world. hope that they reach 1st and male India energy independent from external sources.
31st February good. Seems like i m using a wrong calendar.
Yep. It'll be 2nd only behind china. US and Japan are only a few gw ahead.
Solar panels have gotten so cheap that I built a system for what it costs for the local electrical utility to install a power pole. $3500. I have two kilowatts which is all I need. The only recurring cost is battery replacement.
Sounds like they'll spend more money on Windex and paper towels...
@@michaelpipkin9942 Just how lame r u?
I added 10 KWh's of lithium batteries a year ago. If memory serves they were about $3400 total for 4 batteries. These things are amazing. I didn't realize what a pain lead acid was until I switched to lithium. I don't have to worry about keeping above 50% charge although I do try to stay between 20% and 90% to extend battery life. I'll let you know how they work out long term in a decade or so.😁
@@simplethings3730 in Hawaii lithium batteries must come on ships. A 100 watt lithium battery goes for a grand...
@@raymondjames5035 Even here on the mainland most lithium batteries come via ship, the difference in price is due to sheer volume.
Spolar panels? Is this some new exciting technology 🤣
google said "Did u mean Solar" lol
I appreciate ur video but I suggest u to refer to Present Data. Ur data is frm 2000s. According to 2020 data 99% of Indians have access to electricity.
.
Btw 1% in 1.4billion is a huge amount too and rate of electricity is growing at 1.6
Wowza, astounding! 😮
The government of India is also aiming for decentralization of the energy supply. They provide a 40% subsidy on solar panels if you install them on your house rooftop. We are currently getting 3.4 kW panels installed on our house rooftop. It will be directly connected to the grid so that any additional energy generated (after our usage) will be supplied to the nearest power station and the power company will pay us for that.
Hi Simon and crew, great video! I watched a short video from another channel the other day about the Eisenhower Tunnel, the highest-elevation car tunnel in the world and highest point of the Interstate System (at 11,158 feet), which passes through the Continental Divide in Colorado and sounds like one helluva engineering feat. All I could think as I was listening to their relatively brief overview was "Hmm, this sounds PERFECT for a nice juicy Megaprojects video!"
In addition to impressive specs and an important infrastructure impact on travel in the area, the tunnel had hints of some pretty wild stories during construction (during the 1970's) too. Such as male tunnel workers threatening to walk off the jobsite due to the employment of female engineering technician Janet Bonnema, because they thought the presence of a woman in the tunnels would bring bad luck; or the tale of tunnel workers assisting in the rescue of survivors of a college football team charter plane that crashed near the site during construction! The video from 'It's History' also mentioned a story about the first driver to enter the tunnel supposedly being a drunk, who plowed his car through mud and construction barricades to enter the tunnel illegally before it was fully completed, but I didn't see anything about that on Wikipedia, so I dunno about the exact veracity of that bit lol.
Could make for a good video in the hands of Fact Boy & Co! Loved this one on the solar farm, love your stuff! Take care.
No words! Ok, one word. Amazing!
Fascinating and informative

Without massive battery storage tech, we have to consider other alternative source or perhaps sand based battery technology

this solar power plants directly send energy to the grid, just like coal power plants. No battery is needed for it.

Can you do a video comparing solar and wind power ?
99 % of indians have now access to electricity..
You should do a video on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. It's Europe's biggest nuclear power station and due to it being in the middle of a war zone, leaves some pretty big questions on the future of nuclear.
I'm a big proponent of nuclear energy and I think generation 3 reactors, especially the ap 1000s really changing the game, and future generation 4 reactors could be incredible sources of power, but three mile island, Chernobyl and Fukushima have left stains on nuclear potential and future.
Chernobyl and Fukushima were human made disasters not the reactors themselves
Those people bitching about less space for their herd animals are the same reason that area is a wind blown desert. Overgrazing....
Worked on a solar farm in Virginia. Our company leveled the ground and dug drainage ponds. Another company put in the poles, another put the panels on and another wired it all. Once its built all you need is someone to cut the grass and fix the occasional panel. They talk about all the high tech jobs that green energy creates but those jobs are largely transitory. People go place to place building them but once they're done they require minimal maintenance. They in no way offset the oil and coal jobs that are lost.
But, the oil and coal jobs is the reason why solar panels are being installed globally, global warming? Justifying a job in an industry that's destroying the world seems a bit off to me, but I guess I'm funny that way.
There are other jobs, or do what millions of people do around the world, create your own business. Maybe be one of those installers who makes really good money installing systems on homes. There are PLENTY of jobs for that.
Or, go where the REAL money is, get a degree in engineering and science and do R&D with battery technology. You know how many battery factories are being built?? The bulk of the jobs are in the factories, and battery factories are being built in many places across the US. Much better jobs than working an oil field.
@@johndoh5182 you know those batteries are being charged with electricity from coal powered plants right? And installing panels on homes is mostly a labor job. It only takes one lisenced electrician to do the important work.
I was mainly saying that when liberals say green energy will create 1000s of high paying jobs to replace the ones lost by stopping fossil fuels it's a lie.
Ehhh, whole lot of out of state license plates in my, oilboom, neck of the woods, to make the claim that employment in fossil fuels has any more stability...
It takes dozens of workers to perform the work of site prep, well drilling and completion, site completion, etc.
But it only takes a few to perform daily maintenance and to monitor production...
Try again....
Not to mention, what "oil jobs" are being lost due to the implementation of solar power?

This felt like an ad for that solar company.
Why aren't these companies helping people like me put solar on our houses? That's the real way to go. They don't need to buy property, just the panels. Then do a semi-annual check of them. I get nearly free electricity (to a certain limit) for letting them use my roof to make as much power as I can.
You want those companies(from around the world) who have bought into the Solar Park in India to fund the Solar in your house? What else would you lie with that? a Car? maybe a million dollars in the bank?
they are international companies taking orders from gov. only , not from any random person , call any local solar panel installer he will do it
Because there are other companies doing exactly that
India is not USA. Government of India (GoI) is much more competent at defending the rights and interests of the common people when it comes to big business vs citizens. Very different from US government.
1.) GoI subsidizes installation of solar panels on your own house just as much as it builds large solar parks. That subsidy is to the tune of 40%. It even hand-holds farmers who want to build a mini solar park on their own farmland.
2.) India is the only major nation in the world where vaccine makers are NOT legally protected from the vaccines' effect on people. Pfizer tried hard to lobby against this law and wanted legal immunity for their Covid vaccine in India. GoI simply refused to put up with it and asked Pfizer to GTFO, which it did.
3.) India bans all GMO in foodgrains and has kicked out Monsato and their nefarious terminator seeds.
So when you look at India, kindly don't do so by drawing parallels between US and Indian governments. They are polar opposites. You should read about how The Republic of India took on American Big Pharma directly when it comes to medicines and how it resulted in India becoming the pharmacy of the world.
Adani has built a 500sqkm solar power park in Gujrat. It produces 45GW of power
Will it end up like he disastrous solar panel project in the nevada desert?
Are they investing heavily in batteries or other storage? Solar is great while the sun is out but you need a reliable method to provide power overnight.
A minor problem, really. Now, having peak energy during peak demand? That’s a real struggle, just look at California. But that’s exactly what you get with an extensive solar component.
Nah it's pretty much thermal power plants for the night time in most places.
I remind you that on average 95% of energy consumption takes place during the day.
This is why I pay 0€ (yes ZERO€!) from 23h to 7h for electricity, because energy provider doesn't know what to do with it during night time 🔝
Yeah India has already invested around $400-$500bn in green energy with its partners.
Isn't it mind boggling 😳
When those project start giving fruits only then the world will know
We're also building around 23 indigenous nuclear reactor capable of producing 700MW electricity around the country that way we might be able to provide electricity over night, lithium batteries are expensive and if one were to be dependent on that for power generation we might never reach our goal. Well the plan to reduce the coal import for now, we have sum coal reserves as well.

100% of Indian households have access to electricity. Current ruling government had launched a project with that specific target only. There was an app in Android store that showed the electrification progress every day. Your data is outdated.
Also fertility rate in India is on the decline and already less than the replacement rate of 2.2. That means population will be declining over a period of time.
Your numbers do not include the cost over time. That is, Hoover has been operating for decades. What is the cost per total power produced that includes maintenance.

Simon!! Australia has sent Bushmasters to Ukraine. Any chance of getting a video of these?

Cheers mate!

One thing I don't understand is why foreign media always shows the ugly roads and poor people of India.
7:36 India already has 40% renewable energy capacity(by generation), within a year or two the production capacity will reach 40% too, won't have to wait till 2032.
what is the source 20% indian don't have electricity access. it;s actually 2%.kindly verify before saying.
