about the gallery

Large vacant plots owned by the government, long sunny months, and a small population made Diu the ideal district for a renewable energy push. In September 2016, Diu became the first city in India to run completely on solar energy during the day. The sun today powers all of Diu’s homes, resorts with central air-conditioning, its hospital, government buildings, and the main power-consuming industries. Plans for supplementary wind power hope to cut even the night-time dependence on the Gujarat power grid.
