| Description | For a developing country like India where economic growth is coupled with increasing population, energy consumption increases swiftly. Also, despite continued efforts, the energy sector has not grown fast enough to keep pace with the demands for energy services by consuming sectors. To ensure efficient and prudent energy use, trends in energy utilization and supply and resultant environmental impacts need to be monitored and assessed regularly. Addressing this very need, TERI annually publishes the TEDDY (TERI Energy Data Directory and Yearbook)---a storehouse of data and developments compiled chronologically, featuring relevant energy- and environment-related issues for the year. TEDDY is meant not only for business conglomerates and entrepreneurs but also for general readers as it provides an overview of the energy sector and compiles statistics, maps, and data related to energy demand and supply, agriculture, forests, transport, and renewable energy sources and technologies. The electronic version of the publication, TEDDY Online+, provides updated time series and cross-sectional data on energy subjects. This year’s edition -- TEDDY 2003/04 -- continues the tradition. Not only is it informative but user-friendly as well. Spread over 486 pages, the directory is divided into four sections: Energy supply, Energy demand, Forests, Local and global environment. Highlights of the analysis of the year’s energy scenario in India are as follows. Marked shortage of imported coking and non-coking coal due to increased demand from China was observed. There were active pursuits of equity oils in countries, such as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Myanmar, and Syria. The power supply position improved marginally; however, there were supply and peaking deficits to the tune of 7.1% and 11.2%. The plant load factor of thermal power stations in the country has improved during the Ninth Plan. About 4800 megawatts of power-generating capacity based on renewable energy sources has been installed. This is about 4.5% of the installed capacity in the country. There exists a potential to generate 3500 megawatts of bagasse-based power from 453 sugar mills in India. |
