Background: |
Energy conservation has emerged as one of the central issues in Indian in recent years. Per capita energy use in India is relatively low at 479 kg oil equivalent (kgoe) and non-commercial biomass is still the dominant source of primary energy. The country faces the enormous task to increase availability of commercial energy to a large part of its population; about 70 percent of rural households are not yet electrified. India’s demand for commercial energy in 2020 is expected to increase by about 2.5 times from today’s level. Coal accounts for about 50% of primary commercial energy today and is expected to further increase its share. At the same time, energy intensity in India, measured as TPES per unit of GDP, is substantially higher than in countries at a similar development stage. Background full text Final Agenda |
