Rural Energy Planning in India
Abstract
Energy is a critical input for economic growth and sustaining development processes. Over one third of the world's population, largely consisting of the poor in rural areas of developing countries does not have accees to electricity. It is estimated that a new power plant would need to be added every two days to meet the increasing global energy demand, this, however, is clearly anunsustainable proposition, and only emphasizes the urgent necessity for developing energy technologies that are environmentally sound,socially acceptable, and economically viable.
