Wl-7023-The Case for Grid-connected Solar Irrigation Pumps
India’s solar irrigation program is going seriously astray. Off-grid solar pumps waste 2/3rd of the energy they generate. Maharashtra’s solar agricultural feeders avoid energy waste but continue delivering free power to farmers, thus driving groundwater depletion. These are pure energy solutions that ignore solarisation’s potential gains in livelihoods and environmental sustainability . Gujarat’s innovative pilot, Suryashakti Kisan Yojana (SKY), …
Solar pumps and South Asia’s energy-groundwater nexus
South Asia's groundwater economy stands at the threshold of a revolution in adoption of solar irrigation pumps (SIPs). This has potential to unlock the region's perverse energy-groundwater nexus. In much of South Asia, the price of energy used in irrigation, the only surrogate for water price, fails to signal the abundance or scarcity of groundwater, resulting in myriad distortions. We analyse these in South Asia's eight distinct energy-groundwat…
