Abstract

In the renewable energy field, the Aurovillians have been very active to implement different technologies, first in Auroville and nowadays, more and more outside. This unique experience, through its successes and failures, through its achievements and difficulties can really give an idea of the current possibilities of renewable energies and their various implications. Moreover, in order to give a basis for the future development of the city, a Master Plan was written one year ago. In the energy section, the first paragraph (2.16.13) mentions that, “Auroville’s vision is to become energy independent and self-sufficient, with all its energy requirements met from renewable sources”. The idea of this one month project was to confront this ideal vision with the reality through a stakeholders review. End-users, as well as technical implementers, visionaries, town planners and architects, 38 people in total, have been interviewed.
