This report explores how efficiency is measured and reported at coal-fired power plants.

India and the United States have tremendous opportunity for cooperation in the domain of clean technologies to ensure sustainable energy security for both countries. A joint report by the Atlantic Council and CII, suggests that expanding cooperation will be essential to overcoming energy shortages in the coming decades.

Improving energy efficiency is one of the most effective measures to address energy security, climate change and economic objectives. The Policy Pathways series can help countries capture this potential by assisting with the implementation of the 25 energy efficiency policy recommendations that were published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2008.

This new analysis published by WRI in collaboration with Center for Development Finance-IFMR focuses on the energy needs of India's rural poor and looks at the market potential for clean and renewable energy in rural India.

The objective of this assignment is to develop an Area Based Energy Service Company (ESCO) Model for Solar Water Heating (SWH) and to assess the potential of Carbon
Financing in order to achieve scale in SWH development in the country. In the recent years, India has witnessed considerable progress in SWH development. A total of 3.53 million sq. m.
