Power Minister, Sudin Dhavalikar highlighted the rising demand for power in Goa and hoped that the New and Renewable Energy will be the way to go in the next decade or so, while he also congratulated schools and commercial organisations for doing their bit as Electricity Department Goa celebrated Energy Conservation Week 2024.
“If we try to meet rising power demand which is 10 to 15 per cent every year, by Thermal means; then it will lead to more pollution. Hence, I feel Green energy is the way forward!” stated Dhavalikar.

At the National Energy Conservation Week 2024 function organised by the State Designated Agency at Kala Academy today, various awards and prizes were presented.
