Energy Plan Implementation

  The   framework  of   energy   planning   for  a   region  or 
  implementation  of  the   ecologically   sound   technologies, 
  discussed so far,can become operational only after overcoming 
  a large  number of  barriers  and  constraints, which usually 
  come in the  way  of  integration of energy supply programmes 
  with the  energy  needs at the local level. These constraints 
  include, among  others, lack of  mechanism at the local level   
  to carry out assessment with the involvement of the potential 
  beneficiaries, energy planning mechanism, project formulation 
  and  implementation. Proper  coordination  between the energy 
  sector and the  overall planning and development machinery is 
  needed in a  region  for  successful  implementation  of  the 
  energy  plan. These and  related  issues are discussed in the 
  following section.
