The potential of electricity imports to meet future electricity requirements in India

摘要

As resources of electricity generation in India are not sufficient, this paper analyses the potential of electricity import from neighboring countries to meet the future electricity requirements of India. Based on the data of electricity generation, consumption, and future generation potential, we work out projected electricity generation/ demand of India and its neighboring countries by 2050 to identify the possibility of India’s crossborder electricity trading with its neighboring countries, more particularly the electricity import potential.
