The latest Energy Statistics 2024 report talks about trends in energy, including the sustainable energy efficiency indicators. While there has been improvement in parameters like energy intensity, supply efficiency, share of electricity generation from renewable sources, India’s import dependency of energy commodities shows marginal increase in the last decade. Energy is essential for India’s development, enabling access to electricity for those lacking it and improving infrastructure across the nation. India has an energy sector that aligns with global efforts toward cleaner, sustainable energy sources. Ensuring energy security is crucial for sustainable development, and economic indicators help in monitoring this aspect. These indicators focus on patterns of energy use and production, as well as security measures such as imports and strategic fuel stocks. By keeping a close eye on these Sustainable Energy Indicators, policymakers can identify vulnerabilities, evaluate risks, and create strategies to strengthen energy security. With this context, we look at the trends in energy, including the sustainable energy efficiency indicators, using the latest released Energy Statistics 2024 report. India on a path of energy efficiency. Energy plays a pivotal role in driving economic and social progress, yet its consumption profoundly impacts resource availability and environmental well-being. Enhancing energy efficiency and disconnecting economic growth from escalating energy demands emerge as crucial goals for sustainable development. The ratio of energy use to GDP measures the total energy required to support economic and social activities. It encompasses energy consumption resulting from various production and consumption processes across different sectors of the economy. A decrease in energy intensity relative to GDP suggests improvements in energy efficiency, while an increase may indicate growing energy demands outpacing economic growth. The data on energy intensity show that there is a decline in the energy consumption per thousand rupees of GDP. The Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) per thousand rupees of GDP declined from 251.4 Mega Joule to 221.5 Mega Joule between 2013-14 and 2022-23, while the Total Final Consumption (TFC) per thousand rupees of GDP fell from 176.8 Mega Joule to 143.7 Mega Joule during the same period. Further, the electricity consumption per thousand rupees of GDP declined from 8.9 kWh to 8.7 kWh. All these indicators point to an improvement in energy efficiency. Supply efficiency improved over the last decade. The effectiveness of electricity distribution networks is key for assessing the performance of electricity transmission systems and optimizing energy distribution networks to minimize losses and enhance overall efficiency. The supply efficiency indicator provides insights into the efficiency of energy infrastructure and processes involved in delivering electricity from power plants to end-users. However, due to data limitations, the focus is primarily on losses occurring specifically during the transmission of electricity. While some level of transmission loss is inevitable in any electricity transmission system, minimizing these losses is essential for promoting energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and the reliability of the power supply. The supply efficiency indicator data show that electricity transmission losses show an almost consistent decline. The share of transmission losses concerning production was 21.68% in 2013-14, which further decreased to 17.28% in 2022-23. Transport sector becoming more electricity intensive. Sectoral electricity intensity of major energy-consuming sectors aims to measure how efficiently the technologies are being used in different sectors to improve the efficiency of electricity consumed. The indicator is computed as the ratio of the amount of electricity consumed against a sector to the Gross Value Added of that sector. The data indicates that the electricity intensity of the industrial and agricultural sectors is almost stagnant with no improvement, while the transport sector saw a rise in the electricity intensity. That is, more electricity is consumed in transport sector without adding any significant gross value of output. Share of electricity generation from renewable sources almost doubled in last decade. India’s energy sector stands out as one of the most diverse, boasting a wide array of power generation sources ranging from traditional to innovative non-conventional methods. At the Paris Convention, India pledged to bolster its cumulative installed capacity for non-fossil-fuel-based electricity generation in the national power generation portfolio (PGP) to 40% by 2030.
