- More about Eradicating Energy Poverty: Overcoming 'Barriers' to Decentralized Energy Systems in India
Decentralized energy systems paradigm calls for evidence-based policy for local resource assessment and context-specific energy needs assessment to overcome barriers to decentralized energy systems in India. Inter-disciplinarity and mixed methods approach are used to understand spaces and cultures of energy consumption. Demand side management involves migration from a target-based approach to an evidence-based approach for designing context-based policies, and a policy shift from a techno-economic regime to a socio-technical regime. Prosumerism holds the key to democratization of energy systems in India.

The decentralized energy systems paradigm necessitates two key elements: a) the establishment of evidence-based policy frameworks for local resource assessment, and b) the conduct of context-specific energy needs assessments to overcome the barriers hindering the development of decentralized energy systems in India. At the heart of this comprehensive book lies a solid theoretical foundation, drawing upon empiricism, behaviorism, and realism. These concepts are further enriched through interdisciplinary approaches and the mixed methods approach employed to understand the spaces and cultures of energy consumption.
In the realm of energy sector demand side management, a significant shift is underway. Traditionally, policies have been designed based on target-based approaches (TB). However, the need for an evidence-based (EB) approach has arisen, enabling the creation of context-based policies tailored to energy demand. This shift entails a departure from a techno-economic regime and a move towards a socio-technical regime that is firmly embedded in appropriate contexts.
One of the critical drivers towards democratization of energy systems in India is the concept of prosumerism. Prosumers, individuals and communities who produce and consume energy, hold the potential to transform the energy landscape. By embracing renewable energy technologies, implementing energy efficiency measures, and engaging in smart grid technologies, prosumers can contribute to the decentralization of energy systems, increase energy access, and reduce energy costs.
The book emphasizes the importance of integrating diverse stakeholders, including policymakers, industry experts, researchers, and community representatives, in the development and implementation of decentralized energy systems. By fostering collaboration and promoting dialogue, the book aims to create a sustainable and inclusive energy future for India.
In conclusion, the decentralized energy systems paradigm presents a transformative opportunity for India to address its energy challenges and achieve sustainable development. By adopting evidence-based policy frameworks, conducting context-specific energy needs assessments, and promoting prosumerism, India can unlock the full potential of decentralized energy systems and pave the way for a more resilient, efficient, and equitable energy future.
