According to the former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission Dr. Anil Kakodkar, nuclear energy and solar energy are the only energy sources which can meet the energy requirements of India.
According to him, India has to bring its per capita electricity production on par with that in the advanced countries if it has to emerge as an economic super power.
Currently, we are almost 14-15 times behind in comparison with advanced countries in this segment. The average per capita electricity production in an industrially advanced nation is at around 10,000 units, where as in India it is at around 800 units per person
The Planning Commission has set a target of adding over 88,000 MW of power generation capacity in the 12th Five Year Plan period (2012-2017).
