India’s State-Level Energy Efficiency Implementation Readiness
India is currently one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Sustaining a high growth rate is believed to be critical for India to alleviate poverty in the country, since it feeds more than a billion people. Energy, being a key enabl...

| description |
India is currently one of the fastest
growing major economies in the world. Sustaining a high
growth rate is believed to be critical for India to
alleviate poverty in the country, since it feeds more than a
billion people. Energy, being a key enabler of a country’s
economic growth and development, has witnessed a significant
rise in its consumption in India. In 2013 about 528.34
million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) were consumed, making
India the third largest consumer of energy in the world,
more than 70 percent of which is supplied by fossil sources.
Increasing energy demand naturally strains the country’s
resources and impacts the environment. This warrants
decoupling the country’s economic growth and energy demand.
This is also echoed through India’s intended nationally
determined contribution submitted in the run-up to the Paris
Climate Conference, where the government has highlighted
energy conservation as a key mitigation strategy. It seeks
to achieve total avoided capacity addition of 19,598 MW and
fuel savings of around 23 million tons per year through the
National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE).
However, this requires concerted effort at the central and
state levels, especially considering the existing federal
governance architecture where many subjects, including
electricity, fall under the jurisdictions of both the center
and the state. |
