Dedicated to Hazrat Amir Khusro and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab Summary SUMMARY Collective institutional entrepreneurship for fostering sustainable energy transitions in India The objective of this dissertation is to explore the role of multiple actors and their collective strategies in transforming energy systems based on incumbent fossil fuel energy systems in India. India’s energy system which is largely based on coal, large scale hydro power plants, oil and natural gas is currently facing substantial challenges related to climate change, energy security, energy poverty with the need to balance these concerns with demands for rapid economic growth. In order to tackle these energy challenges, the Indian government has started the Jawahar Lal Nehru National Solar Mission and the National Wind Energy mission for mainstreaming sustainable energy technologies such as wind and solar PV energy. Despite promising actions by the Indian government, there are still challenges for mainstreaming wind and solar PV energy due to plurality of social interests and objectives. The challenges are also complex due to multiple and heterogeneous stakeholders at central and state government level in federal context like India and limited capabilities for implementation of policies and regulations. Resolving these challenges and moving ahead requires collective action between different actors with varying levels of power, resources, interests and motivation. This dissertation therefore focuses on understanding these challenges, the different strategies actors collectively use to transform institutional arrangements in the context of the energy system in India. This doctoral dissertation therefore examines the following central research question: How do actors collectively challenge institutional arrangements in the context of energy transitions in India ? The dissertation builds on the sustainability transitions and collective institutional entrepreneurship literature. The main theoretical positioning of the dissertation is that while existing sustainability transitions literature has examined energy transitions using a number of conceptual perspectives, there are relatively limited empirical insights on the role of collective actor strategies in challenging dominant institutional arrangements. The introductory chapter of the dissertation presents an overview of the theoretical positioning of the research focusing on sustainability transitions and collective institutional entrepreneurship literature, research method and overview of the different papers included as chapters. Chapters two, three, four, five and six focus on answering the main research question by studying development of wind and solar PV energy in India through different theoretical lenses and empirical studies conducted at a different unit of analysis. Methodologically the dissertation takes a qualitative case study approach and uses archival data sources, semi-structured interviews and participant observations in forums and conferences collected during field work in India. 6 Summary Chapter 2 focuses on social enterprises providing off grid solar PV solutions to disadvantaged people without energy access in India. It develops a broad classification of different upscaling dimensions of promising business model experiments in India and emphasizes the importance of institutional innovation for sustainability transitions. Chapter 3 focuses on historical development of wind energy in India. This chapter builds upon insights from chapter one and looks at the role of institutional innovation in development of novel innovations. It highlights the importance of collective institutional entrepreneurship where multiple actors are adapting their institutional strategies while facing conflicts with each other. This chapter emphasizes the need for deliberating on ongoing conflicts between powerful and weaker actors by being open to inputs from marginalized actors and providing opportunities to them for participating in decision making process. Chapter 4 compares wind energy development in India considered as an emerging institutional context and Finland considered as a mature institutional context. This chapter building upon insights from third chapter which compares institutional entrepreneurship in mature and emerging institutional contexts. This chapter concludes that emerging institutional contexts such as India, do not

    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.

  • Chengalpattu District
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.
