Question

The Angan Jyothi scheme contributes to Kerala's broader goal of energy transition by:

• A. Providing subsidies for fossil fuel consumption to reduce immediate energy costs.
• B. Encouraging energy use during non-peak, high-solar generation hours (daytime).
• C. Investing solely in non-renewable energy sources to meet immediate demand.
• D. Promoting energy consumption primarily during evening peak hours to support grid stability.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Encouraging energy use during non-peak, high-solar generation hours (daytime).

• Preparing food in Anganwadis happens predominantly during the daytime.

• This aligns electricity consumption with the period of peak solar energy generation (from rooftop solar, if installed) and lower overall grid demand, helping to balance the power system.
