- Title
INDIA EN LOS ALBORES DE LA TRANSICIÓN ENERGÉTICA.
- Authors
Palazuelos, Enrique
- Abstract
Since the middle of the 1990s, India's energy system has been showing new signs of the beginning of a transition in which the functioning of energy demand and supply will tend to correspond to the requirements of economic development. First, this paper examines recent energy changes, after which it analyzes their relationship with the process of economic and social transformation which the country is experiencing, with the aim of discovering the factors that are determining the beginning of the energy transition. It then shows how the trends derived from those economic and social factors are inducing the increase and growing diversification in energy demand. From that perspective -and in line with the available supplies of energy resources -we analyze why the deepening of the energy transition will lead inexorably to greater external dependence, above all for petroleum, but also for natural gas and uranium.
