Energy Studies

Energy studies includes a very wide range of sub-themes. EECP contributes to many of these sub-themes through its research. This includes studies on the power sector specifically, e.g., evaluating reforms in the power sector, the role and scope of clean coal technologies, developing models for optimal electricity supply, and analysis of inter-regional power flows. Faculty and scholars at the EECP also do research on the energy sector as a whole, including and beyond the power sector, e.g., exploring the role of renewable energy systems and their potential impacts, modelling of solar thermal systems, exploring the potential for sustainable fuels in the transport sector, development of integrated energy-environment-economy models, evaluating the implications of energy transitions for labour and other developmental indicators, and energy use and mechanisation in agriculture, among others.
