This is part one of our interview with Mohua Mukherjee, a Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Previously, she was a development economist and project manager with the World Bank, working in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n
In this episode, we discuss the overall energy mix in India, and explore the dynamics of the coal power sector. We then take a deep dive into the solar power sector, including India\u2019s innovative financing strategy leveraging a World Bank loan. Finally, we wrap it up with a look at the wind power sector.<\/p>\n
In the second part, which will run as Episode #201, we\u2019ll talk about India\u2019s use of oil and natural gas, including why they are using gas for transportation. We\u2019ll explore India\u2019s investments into manufacturing clean technologies. We\u2019ll review how their distribution utilities are improving access to grid power and improving efficiency. And we\u2019ll end with a discussion about how India is taking a \u201cjust transition\u201d approach to winding down its dependence on coal-fired power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
