RENEWABLE ENERGY IN BIHAR: UNLOCKING POTENTIAL AMIDST EVOLVING CHALLENGES

Author(s) Dr. Shah Ali Adnan, Dr. Kumari Soni

Abstract Bihar is poised to change its electricity landscape with its energy shift. 'Promotion of Bihar New and Renewable Energy Sources 2025,' the state's renewable energy program, aims for 23.96 GW of renewable energy capacity and 6.1 GW of energy storage by 2029-30. Historical dependency on coal, an acute energy shortfall exacerbated by previous events, and robust economic growth driving demand drive this strategic change. The strategy aims to attract ₹1.5 trillion in investments and generate 125,000 employment, positioning Bihar as a leader in India's green energy industry and a key contributor to national net-zero goals. Renewable energy industries provide several options. Through huge parks, innovative floating and agri-voltaic systems, and broad rooftop installations, Bihar is developing solar energy using its abundant radiation. The state's substantial river and canal systems, which provide grid stability, offer untapped hydroelectric power potential, notably pumped storage. Wind energy is still developing but has increased procurement goals and regulatory support. Biomass and waste-to-energy projects use the state's agricultural wastes and animals to boost rural economies and waste management. Exploration of geothermal resources diversifies the energy portfolio. These lofty goals face many obstacles. Poor grid infrastructure with high transmission and distribution losses needs major improvements. Land purchase is difficult owing to limited availability, high expenses, and complex ownership patterns, sometimes affecting landless communities economically. To rectify past under-allocation, financing requires continual public and private investment, even with attractive policy incentives. A skill gap and low public awareness hinder human capital development and decentralised energy use. Financial incentives, land waivers, and regulatory assistance are part of Bihar's strategy to solve these issues. Manufacturing incentives and research and development support show the state's commitment to a self-sufficient green energy environment. The shift demands strategic preparation, meticulous execution, and equitable development. Other developing areas seeking energy security and economic progress might learn from Bihar.
