In an insightful interview with Energetica India, Baroruchi Mishra, Group CEO of Nauvata Energy Transition (NET) Enterprise, delves into India’s energy landscape, emphasizing the necessity of a balanced approach that integrates both fossil fuels and renewable energy sources.
Energy Security and Consumption
Mishra highlights the disparity in energy consumption, noting that India’s per capita energy usage is approximately one-third of the global average and about one-fifteenth that of the United States. He asserts that to elevate India’s status to that of a developed nation, energy consumption must be tripled. This necessitates a diversified energy portfolio, encompassing fossil fuels and renewables, to ensure a stable and sufficient energy supply.
Role of NET Enterprise
NET Enterprise positions itself as a facilitator of the energy transition, operating across both fossil fuel and renewable energy sectors. By collaborating with major entities like ONGC, IOCL, MRPL, and Cairn, the company contributes to various engineering phases, including concept development, front-end engineering, detailed design, and project management consultancy. This comprehensive involvement underscores NET Enterprise’s commitment to optimizing energy solutions while advancing toward greener alternatives.
Commitment to Sustainability
Demonstrating its dedication to sustainability, NET Enterprise maintains a low carbon footprint by not operating producing assets. Mishra emphasizes that energy-efficient behavior must become integral to societal practices, reflecting the company’s ethos of promoting responsible energy consumption.
