Energy and Electrification policy
IT Power India helps organizations, industries and countries to address issues of energy development including energy production, distribution and consumption. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, achievement of renewable energy objectives, taxation and other public policy techniques. Historically, most renewable energy policy work in developing countries has revolved around rural electrifaction schemes. Increasingly though, grid-tie energy policy for residential and industrial power producers is coming to the forefront of international energy policy work.
Our experts can help to review and develop energy policy to address:
- national policy regarding energy planning, energy generation, transmission and usage
- legislation on commercial energy activities (trading, transport, storage, etc.)
- legislation affecting energy use, such as efficiency standards, emission standards
- protocols for state owned energy sector assets and organizations
- active participation in renewable energy-related research and development
- fiscal policies related to energy products and services (taxes, exemptions, subsidies etc)
- Energy security and international policy measures
- Environmental position on Climate Change
- Reduction of supply-demand mismatch in the event of energy crisis
Some of the basic questions that the IT Power Energy Policy team will address in typical studies are:
- Extent of energy self-sufficiency
- Future energy sources
- Future energy consumption
- Population thresholds to endure energy poverty
- Goals for future energy intensity, ratio of energy consumed to GDP
- Reliability standard for distribution reliability
- Acceptable and Forecast Environmental externalities
- "Portable energy" forecasts (e.g. sources of fuel for motor vehicles)
- Energy and fuel efficiency
- National policy implementation feasibility
- Specific mechanisms (e.g. taxes, incentives, manufacturing standards) in place to implement the total policy
