Abstract
India needs to significantly raise its electricity and energy consumption if it is to ensure rapid sustainable growth – a goal that remains the most potent tool for delivering adaptation capacity to her poor who will suffer the worst consequences of climate change. India has failed to do so thus far and its share of global supply of commercial energy remains extremely low.
Resource/supply constraints faced by conventional energy sources, techno-economic constraints faced by renewable energy sources and, above all, the bounds imposed by climate change on fossil fuel use are likely to undermine India’s quest for continuing rapid, sustainable and inclusive growth.
