A senior official at KPDCL told Ground Report that J&K mainly relies on hydroelectricity, but for solar energy generation they would require—land to establish the Power generation<!-- wp:paragraph -->Power generation refers to the process of producing electricity from various energy sources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), nuclear power, renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass), and others. alternative sources. Energy sources.<br/><!-- /wp:paragraph -->" href="https://groundreport.in/glossary/power-generation/" target="_blank" data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]"power generation plants, which according to him has very less chances, as he says the land in in J&K is fertile for agriculture produce./p>

According to the study, all the major RE sectors like solar, Biomass<!-- wp:paragraph -->Biomass is a type of renewable energy in which organic matter is used as an energy source.&nbsp;This organic matter is originated in a biological process, spontaneous or provoked.<br/><!-- /wp:paragraph -->" href="https://groundreport.in/glossary/biomass/" target="_blank" data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]"biomass, and small hydropower have considerable potential in resolving the energy requirements. However, in terms of infrastructure, it suffers from a lack of strong indigenous supply chains. Specifically, the solar sector needs strong local R&D and manufacturing to bring down costs over the long term. /p>

A senior official at KPDCL known for the developments of solar energy generation in the valley told Ground Report that the use of rooftop Solar power<!-- wp:paragraph -->Solar power is a form of renewable energy that is generated by capturing the sun's energy and converting it into electricity. Solar power systems use photovoltaic (PV) panels made of silicon cells to convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. <br/><!-- /wp:paragraph -->" href="https://groundreport.in/glossary/solar-power/" target="_blank" data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]"solar power plants can be a game changer and an immediate alternative in the valley./p>

However, owing to the climatic conditions, the drive is yet to take pace in the valley despite a subsidy offered by the government under a scheme by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy<!-- wp:paragraph -->Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural sources that are replenished over time, such as sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat.

The report further states that apart from solar energy potential, Jammu and Kashmir has the potential to generate 1707, 43, and 3 megawatts of energy from small hydropower projects, biomass, and Windmills<!-- wp:paragraph -->Windmills, also known as wind turbines, are machines that convert wind energy into mechanical energy, which can be used to generate electricity. Wind turbines consist of large blades attached to a rotor that spins when the wind blows, generating mechanical power. <br/><!-- /wp:paragraph -->" href="https://groundreport.in/glossary/windmills/" target="_blank" data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]"windmills./p>
