Abstract

The imperative for energy security is paramount for global, national and internal stability, and development. Using an indicator-based approach, the present study develops a framework for sustainable energy security of India. First, it presents the energy supply and demand situation in the country under different scenarios. Then it conceptualizes the notion of energy security and quantifies it for India with the help of different indicators for energy security available in the literature. Both the supply and demand side views and both micro and macro dimensions are considered in assessing how secured India as a country is with respect to our energy future. The dimensions that include energy security are: economic, environmental, social, and institutional. This will help planners and policy makers to understand India’s energy scene better and design policies to develop sustainable technologies and practices to ensure energy resources last long.

We define sustainable energy security as “provisioning of uninterrupted energy services (short- and long terms) in an affordable, equitable, efficient, and environmentally benign manner.”

The RS assumes that demographic growth, economic development, and energy prices would continue to influence the present patterns of demand and supply. The APS, on the contrary, controls the business as usual growth in the energy demand for reasons of energy security or environmental sustainability, which includes climate-change concerns. APS encompasses the policies and practices, which consist of efficiency and emission standardization, use of alternative fuels, clean technologies, and demand side managements.

In case of energy security, it is important to include energy sustainability. This is because the concepts of sustainability takes into consideration the sustainable use of natural resources, the sustainable distribution of natural resources (equity considerations) and maximising the quality of life.
