Power Generation<br />

Policy Assumptions and Effects<br />

Over a third of India's total energy use and about half of its fossil-energy use<br />

is for power generation. Under current policies, India’s power sector will<br />

remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels. There is considerable scope to save<br />

electricity and to make the electricity sector more efficient by switching to<br />

cleaner technologies and relying less on fossil fuels. This will bring economic<br />

benefits, cut pollution and CO 2<br />

emissions and reduce the burden of<br />

investment in power infrastructure, helping to liberate funds for more<br />

investment in rural electrification. The main policies included in the<br />

Alternative Policy Scenario are described in Table 18.2. For the most part,<br />

they involve more rigorous implementation of current policies and the<br />

strengthening of the current framework.<br />
