‘Sustainable energy key for smart cities’

Correspondent :
Using sustainable energy to fulfil the energy requirements of smart cities is the key focus of a three-day programme hosted by the Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufactures’ Association (IEEMA) and three IEEE societies, beginning here on January 22.

The event will be conducted at the Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Cities around the world today face a number of challenges in a very dynamic environment. Governments and local administrations must manage a rapidly burgeoning population, placing increasing demands on energy with decreasing or static budgets, all within the stringent requirements of local and environmental regulations.

Efficient networks would be needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, constantly improving energy and fuel utilization and smart management of the impact on climate change.

Patrick Ryan, Executive Director, IEEE Power & Energy Society, said, “A planned and systematic method of setting short, mid and long-term goals is what is required for a city to dramatically make advances in their energy and sustainability initiatives and at the same time ensure efficiency, protection and an improved quality of life for its citizens.”

Babu Babel, Vice President, IEEEMA, said,” The clock is ticking fast on our natural resources. In this scenario, it is imperative that we are careful in the utilization and recycling of resources.”
