Abstract
India by 2022 would be ranked as number one in densely populated nation by overtaking the China, due to population explosion in this century. That yields to acceleration in the urbanization, 30 people per minute moving from village regions to cities takes place for better living standard. Hence, stress is imposed over the existing system. For such critical issue Indian Government already initiated sustainable remedy Smart City Mission. Smart city includes following main features: uninterrupted power supply, clean environment, transportation, waste recycling, etc. Electrical power is its key domain so this paper focuses on the power challenges and region-wise power potential for green energy for the smart city mission of India.
