Tejal Kanitkar Associate Professor, Energy, Environment and Climate Change Programme Is India concerned about its energy security? https://www.theindiaforum.in/article/india-concerned-about-its-energy-security The India Forum, September 2020 India's overambitious targets for solar energy could destabilize its power sector and threaten energy security. Rather than 'green' political posturing, the country must plan an energy transition based on its developmental interests. |

Tejal Kanitkar Associate Professor, Energy, Environment and Climate Change Programme The COVID-19 lockdown in India: Impacts on the economy and the power sector. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.glt.2020.07.005 Global Transitions, August 2020 This paper demonstrates the use of a linear Input-Output (IO) model to estimate the economic losses in India due to COVID-19. The results show that depending on the duration of the lockdown, the Indian economy is likely to face a loss of about 10–31% of its GDP. The paper also discusses the impacts of COVID-19 on the demand and supply of electricity and CO2 emissions from the power sector. The cost of avoided carbon is approximately 186–264 $/tCO2. |
