Abstract

Recent findings indicate that some alternative energy promote equity, efficiency, and self-reliance and are both economical and sustainable. The Asian Development Bank therefore initiated a case study to formulate energy strategies which could contribute to the solution of both local and global energy problems. The study focuses on technical and economic details of energy end uses in India. The conclusions, some of which are surprising, are supported by data from several studies. The study recommends a shift to least-cost electricity planning, improving the available database for and information availability about energy, rationalizing energy pricing and related fiscal policies, and achieving energy efficiency by judicious investment in and support of energy forms which will be both sustainable and affordable in the long run.
