Promoting renewable energy options/Akanksha Chaurey Chintan Navinbhai Shah Mahesh Vipradas R. Suresh and Purandar Chakravarty. 4. Managing fly ash/S.K. Chand and Rekha Krishnan. 5. Improving efficiency of resource use in agriculture/Meeta Mehra and Divya Datt. Index. The diversity and complexity of concerns related to the environment and natural resources call for diverse ways to tackle these. There is adequate recognition in India of the need to experiment with multiple instruments to manage natural resources rather than relying almost entirely on legislation and enough evidence worldwide on the benefits of such an approach. Fiscal instruments are an important element of environmental policy in many countries. Their use in India has however received limited attention. This publication analyses fiscal policy options for dealing with select environmental and resource management concerns in the country while also outlining some general lessons for moving on with environmental fiscal reform. 137 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Contents Foreword. Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Regulation and policy. 3. What is independent regulation. 4. History of electricity in India. 5. Regulation of electricity the international experience. 6. Regulation of electricity in India. 7. Effectiveness of electricity regulatory commissions regulating state owned enterprises. 8. Evaluation and effectiveness the electricity regulatory experience in India. 9. Regulatory law principles processes and procedures. 10. Accountability. 11. Future directions. Index. Appendices. Governing Power is a pioneering attempt to examine the experience with independent regulation of electricity in India to assess its efficacy as an alternative form of governance. It compares the electricity experience with that of independent regulation in other countries independent regulatory bodies in India and old style regulation by government departments. It evaluates the Indian model in the context of its replication over other sectors of the economy. S.L. Rao's experience of having operationalized the concept in India as the first Chairman of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission provides valuable insights. This book epitomizes the multidisciplinary expertise (linking economics management financial and cost accounting and engineering) that electricity regulatory commissions must harness to effectively regulate the sector despite high government ownership strong utility government linkages inefficiencies and weak commercial attitudes. The book tracks the emergence of regulatory law from the orders of regulatory bodies and courts explores the concept of independence and discusses the accountability of independent regulators (an issue not sufficiently explored till now) and suggests directions for future development of independent regulation. Governing Power is relevant to any environment where independent regulation is introduced more so in developing economies or where government ownership is dominant. It is extremely relevant to utilities (private and public) regulators courts professional managers accountants and consultants. It will benefit anyone interested in enhancing the quality of governance. 484 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: Foreword. Preface. Acknowledgements. 1. Global energy scenario: an overview. 2. Trends in photovoltaic technology. 3. Current status of the international solar photovoltaic programme. 4. Advent of megawatt-capacity photovoltaic power plants in India. . 5. Photovoltaic grid power plants: case studies. 6. Issues, challenges, and opportunities. 7. Way forward. Bibliography. Index. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has been successfully implemented in the remote regions of India for more than two decades now. It has various end-use applications like lighting, pumping water, and charging battery for multiple uses. However, recently, there has been a growing bias towards the use of PV grid connected power plants. The larger issue here is that of tracing a connection between solar energy and grid connectivity. Solar energy is available during the day, while the grid power is available both during the day and night. The solar system component engineering drives the feeding of solar power into the locally available grid, but not without a wide range of challenges involved. Various countrywide initiatives like the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission have emerged. At the same time, grid power related initiatives have been undertaken in countries like Germany, Spain, and the United States. This book provides an insight into the basic understanding of PV grid power plants from various end-use considerations. It also touches upon the policy, planning, marketing, and financing aspects vis-ą-vis the performance indicators attained by different countries in the world. Various facets of solar power generation have been explored, which makes this publication an important intervention in the field of solar PV.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. For thousands of years, humans have probed and pondered over our planetary home. How was the Earth formed? How old is it? How did it become a living world? Today, because of our expanded knowledge and the wonders of technology, we know a lot more about Earth than our ancestors. We know that it is an evolving planet, undergoing never-ending changes, perhaps at a pace unequalled in its recent, or even remote, past. The Story of Planet Earth gives a detailed, yet interesting, account of a lot more aspects related to the creation of Earth Earth s origin in light of the Big Bang explosion, arrival of water on its surface, formation of its atmosphere, evolution of life forms from unicellular organisms to giants like dinosaurs, changes from its core to crust and its current state in terms of unsettling global changes, a majority of which find their roots in our greed and thoughtlessness. The book goes beyond time, into the future, to see what may be in store for our forthcoming generations, if we don t care about this home of ours. (jacket).
