City has potential to generate 2000 MW of power, says Greenpeace

Delhi has the potential to generate 2 Gigawatt, or 2000 MW, of solar power by 2020 to overcome its perennial power shortage. And if Delhi’s territory of 1,483 km is used for solar installations, 123 GW of power can be generated. This is more than 20 times Delhi’s expected peak power demand of 6 GW for 2013 and more than half of India’s installed capacity of 215 GW for 2013.
