Over the past decade and a half, I have published three books that represent three stages in India’s journey towards clean and green energy. The first one, Decentralised Energy Planning – Methodo-logy and Case Studies, published in 1991, is based on my experience of setting up and operationalising the Maharashtra Energy Development Agency in 1986. […]
Electricity demand in India has turned buoyant in the current fiscal with the recovery in economic activity post the second wave of Covid-19, as well as a favourable base effect. Demand increased by 13 per cent in the first half of 2021-22 over the corresponding period of the previous year, and is likely to end the year with a year-on-year growth of 8-8.5 per cent. […]
The world has been experiencing extreme weather conditions, leading to disasters in a higher frequency and also severity. […]
Covid-19 has altered the world, but it has not stopped the steady march of renewable energy. In fact, during the pandemic, the segment grew faster than it has done in the past. […]
The Kyoto Protocol of 1997 mandated emission reduction targets only for developed nations while allowing developing countries with low per capita emissions to take a voluntary approach towards their emission reduction targets from a “climate justice” standpoint. Nothing substantial has been achieved of the agreed emission reduction commitments made by developed nations nor has the promised assistance ($100 billion per year) to developing countries been delivered.
