The need of the hour is for more research and development in the field of renewable energy and ‘Green Energy’ to power the future. There is a need to fight global warming through efficient and innovative electrical equipment,” he said.
ELCA President Jayashree Umesh said, “EPI-09 is an attempt to introduce different facets of electric sector to the common people. It is also an attempt to spread knowledge about new developments in the power sector to all stake holders.
