China has surged ahead of the US as the most attractive place for renewable energy investment. This is based on the Ernst & Young report. The two countries were tied in last year’s Ernst & Young's Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Indices. But with $34.6 billion in investments in 2009, China surpassed the United States by more than $15 billion, accounting for 30.5 percent of G-20 investment in renewable power. A full 71.1 percent of this investment went to wind power. Although only eight percent of China's renewable energy spending went into solar power, it has already become the world's largest producer of solar panels.  "China's steady rise to pole position has been underpinned by strong and consistent government support for renewable energy.  This, together with substantial commitment from industry and the sheer scale of its natural resources, means that its position as top spot for renewable energy investment is well merited," said Ben Warren, Ernst & Young's environment and energy infrastructure advisory leader. “

Tata Power has initiated “5 POINT” program under “Demand Side Management” for energy conservation. It is also in the process of recommending two additional programs for MERC approval in the coming days. Tata Power strongly believes that each category of consumers have a unique power consumption pattern and if these patterns are studied in detail and interventions initiated accordingly, they will throw up several opportunities to save energy. The Tata Power DSM programs have been planned with the objective of helping consumers save energy without compromising on their comfort. These DSM programs have been based on extensive load research, understanding the consumer load curve, time of use, ownership of electrical goods, load profile and affordability of energy efficient products.
