8. CONCLUSION :
The utilization of Hydro Power Potential is especially required in all states where the utilized
potential is very low like in CG and therefore optimum utilization of the same may set up an
stepping up stone for achieving self sufficiency in power sector in country. Defining power
plant operation to meet the electricity demand in a given time interval .The conclusion
obtained from the above discussion is that we should increase the use of renewable energy
sources and reduce the use of non-renewable resources. Existing renewable resources are
well established and proven. It has been seen that available renewable energy resources are
helping in the production of the other forms of energy that makes energy system stronger and
economical.
