3. INTRODUCTION
Global Energy Consumption
• 16% from renewable
•10% from biomass
• 3.4% from hydroelectricity
• 2.8% from new renewable (small hydro, modern
biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels)
Renewable electricity generation accounts for 19%
• 16% from hydroelectricity
•3% from new renewable
India's power market is the fifth largest in the world
The share of Renewable Energy sector 10.63% of total generation
capacity in India
4. Suzlon Group is the leading wind turbine manufacturer with presence in
32 countries. It is India's No. 1 wind energy company. Conceived in 1995
with just 20 people, Suzlon is now a leading wind power company .
Fully integrated supply chain with manufacturing facilities in three
continents. Market leader in Asia, Suzlon Market Share (Combined with
Repower) is 6.9% thereby making Suzlon one of the leading wind turbine
manufacturing groups in the world.
Recently Suzlon launched a cause based advertising campaign - PALS or
the Pure Air Lovers Society. A campaign that strives to create a self-
sustaining community of like-minded people who love pure air, hate
pollution, are willing to take steps in their lives and make decisions that will
reduce pollution and make a positive contribution towards mitigating the
issue.
5. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
Main Objective
To assess the awareness of youth towards renewable source of energy and PALS campaign-
A Suzlon initiative.
Sub-Objective

benefits.
To assess their perceptions about largest source of renewable resources.
To assess their willingness to pay premium for renewable source of energy.
To assess their perception about Suzlon and its business functions
To assess their awareness of PALS campaign and importance of different habits to
save environment.
To know the preference of youth to spread the awareness and to contribute to the
cause as an individual.

18. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
Awareness for the PALS campaign in youth is very low hence it is necessary
to target the youth through right channel of communication.
Most of the respondents perceived Suzlon as company in business of Wind
power generation rather than manufacturing of Wind mills and turbines.
Respondents perceived solar energy as the largest source of energy
generation while wind energy generation is still in the nascent stage when it
comes to awareness among the respondents. Hence more initiative should be
taken to educate people about advantages of wind energy generation.
Behavioral habits switching of the light, fans & AC when not in use gained
the maximum importance followed by switching off appliances. Whereas
cycling to work instead of vehicle received least importance followed by usage
of carpool facility. Suzlon can devise an effective campaign like NO PRIVATE
VEHICLE DAY, SHARE RIDE AND SAVE PLANET to increase the
importance of these parameters.
19. It is very important to position PALS campaign on the green habits which
are grouped together by factor analysis for better effectiveness and efficiency.
Hence the PALS campaign can be positioned on following components-
Reduce Pollution- (Component 5)
To do regular PUC check
Using carpool facilities
My Green Planet- (Component 1)
Planting and nurturing trees
Spreading awareness, educating people about air pollution and its
effects
Using eco-friendly products
