To address power shortages, Punjab is focusing on:

Expanding generation capacity
Improving energy efficiency
Promoting renewable energy sources
All of the above

The correct answer is: d) All of the above

Punjab is focusing on expanding generation capacity, improving energy efficiency, and promoting renewable energy sources to address power shortages.

  • Expanding generation capacity means building new power plants to produce more electricity. This can be done by building new coal-fired power plants, natural gas-fired power plants, or renewable energy power plants such as solar and wind farms.
  • Improving energy efficiency means using less energy to do the same amount of work. This can be done by using more energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, weatherizing homes and businesses, and driving more fuel-efficient cars.
  • Promoting renewable energy sources means encouraging the use of sources of energy that do not produce greenhouse gases, such as solar and wind power. This can be done by providing financial incentives for people to install solar panels or wind turbines, or by requiring utilities to purchase a certain amount of electricity from renewable sources.

All of these measures are necessary to address power shortages in Punjab. Expanding generation capacity will help to ensure that there is enough electricity to meet demand. Improving energy efficiency will help to reduce the amount of electricity that is needed. And promoting renewable energy sources will help to reduce the state’s reliance on fossil fuels.
