The Planning Commission constituted the Working Group on Power to formulate the programme for development of the power sector during the 12th Plan. Since its constitution in March 2011, the Working Group held three meetings on 20th

The BP Energy Outlook 2030 sees overall energy demand growing some 40% over next two decades, with virtually all growth coming from developing countries & more than half will come from China and India.

Poor People's Energy Outlook 2012 examines the linkages between energy access and better opportunities for earning a living, while recognising that there are many barriers which must be overcome on the path from improved energy access to increased incomes.

This report demonstrates that a more sustainable energy future is within our reach, and that industrial energy efficiency is key. It shows how industrial energy efficiency can make a difference by providing a detailed comprehensive global assessment of potentials, technologies, economic benefits, as well as cost and barriers to be removed.

The growing emphasis on solar energy utilisation to achieve energy security as well as to combat the menace of climate change and global warming has resulted in the formulation of one of the world’s most ambitious solar missions in India.

China and India face very different challenges for the years to come, mainly because they are at very different levels of economic development.

Solar power is attractive because it is abundant and offers a solution to fossil fuel emissions and global climate change. Earth receives solar energy at the rate of approximately 1,20,000 terawatt. This enormously exceeds both the current annual global energy consumption rate of about 15 TW, and any conceivable requirement in future.
