The study analyzes economic, financial, and technical issues, though not necessarily environmental impacts, to then "overlay" these analyses, with a systematic process for assessing the implications of GHG business-as-usual (BAU), and reform, so as to design a new scenario, i.e., the GHG mitigation scenario. Following a revision of its scope, and methodology, the study focuses on load forecasts, based on the two case studies' projected unconstrained energy, and power demand over a twenty year planning for the BAU, and reform scenarios, broken down by consumer category: domestic, commercial, low tension/high tension industry, and agriculture. Both case studies relied heavily on a least-cost power system expansion planning software (A/SPLAN), which employs a dynamic programming algorithm. Conclusions suggest that BAU implications cannot be applied as a meaningful baseline scenario for GHG mitigation analysis in these two case studies. While emissions are lower under BAU, than under reform, the expected energy served is also substantially less: massive expected failures in electricity supply under BAU conditions would not be acceptable, thus the reform scenario was selected as a baseline reference point for GHG reduction analysis. 2014-09-30T19:00:45Z 2014-09-30T19:00:45Z 2001-02 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2001/02/1346343/greenhouse-gas-mitigation-power-sector-case-studies-india http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20302 English en_US Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP);no.
