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.
