Retrospectives Lydia Powell, Observer Research Foundation he concept of energy security as it is used and interpreted in India and elsewhere is based on the Tepistemological assumption that energy will remain scarce, expensive and unreliable. The energy security strategies of India designed to address these ‘threats’ are therefore offensive in nature as they seek to maximise benefits in relation to other actors (nations). These strategies are not necessarily the direct consequence of these threats but the political interpretations of the treat (a process that is defined as securitisation in international relations theory). They are essentially non-linear responses to the perceived threats. Recommendations by government and non-government agencies made in the last two decades towards building an energy secure India are largely responses to the threat of scarcity and uncertainty (in securing energy resources) derived from a wide range of academic

  • Indie - Energetický Profil
    Věc: Indie - energetický profil 1. Skladba energetického mixu 1.1. Celková nabídka primárních zdrojů energie – TPES Indický energetický sektor je velmi diverzifikovaný. Primárním zdrojem energie jsou jak konvenční zdroje (uhlí, lignit, zemní plyn, ropa, voda a jádro), tak i nekonvenční zdroje (vítr, slunce, zemědělský a komunální odpad). V roce 2015 bylo procentuální složení výroby elektrické energie následující: 69-70 % tepelné elektrárny, 15 % vodní elektrárny, 2 % jaderné elektrárny a 13 % obnovitelné zdroje. Indie je 5. největším výrobcem elektřiny na světě. Indie je zároveň 4. největším spotřebitelem energie na světě po Číně, USA a Rusku. Populace Indie se blíží počtu obyvatel Číny, ale energetická spotřeba Indie je pouhá jedna čtvrtina spotřeby Číny. V roce 2016 činí poptávka po elektřině cca 155 GW. Odhaduje se, že v letech 2021-22 to bude cca 217 GW. TIC, strana 1 1.2.

The new enlarged IBERDROLA Group ended 2007 as one of the worlds largest electricity companies by market capitalisation. Through the friendly integration, now successfully completed, we have reinforced our shared commitment to Corporate Responsibility. Our reporting year has been aligned to IBERDROLA so going forward we will be working on a calendar year basis. Achieving Scottish Business in the Community Large Company of the Year in 2007 was an important endorsement for ScottishPowers work and to our commitment to environmental and social issues. During 2007, we have announced significant investments in sustainable generation projects and environmental technologies; increased our 2010 target for delivery of wind energy projects in the UK to 1,200 MW and established partnerships that will help secure Scotlands place as the world leader in marine energy. In addition, we announced the UKs largest energy crop project and embarked on a major study into cleaner coal generation.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
