Statistical Evaluation of Renewable Energy Technologies in Lucknow: Prevailing Schemes, Barriers and Future Scope

Present manuscript deals with the progression of Renewable Energy Technologies in the Indian city of Lucknow which is the capital of India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. India has adopted many Renewable Energy Technologies, but major portion of those technologies is composed of large renewable energy-based power plants and usage of renewable energy technologies is very less by the common citizens of India. This paper provides an analytical approach towards factors which present themselves as roadblocks in the way of adoption of renewable energy technologies by the common citizens of Lucknow. Schemes and subsidies provided by the Government of India, intended for the common citizens of Lucknow have been mentioned and the reason for sub-par adoption of these schemes has been statistically explained. Origin, awareness and educational background of 200 citizens of Lucknow have been used as parameters for this study. The authors of this paper have provided several corrective measures for full utilization of Schemes and Subsidies provided by the Government of India to the common citizens of Lucknow in order to increase the usage of Renewable Energy Technologies and make India a less pollutive nation.
