Fuel Mix Energy Efficiency

- Despite high RE targets in power (450 GW by 2030), TPES’ EI may grow, mainly due to - Shift from unaccounted non-commercial biomass (~30% TPES at present) to LPG (Byravan, Ali et al 2017)

- Two interrelated strategies working in opposite directions— Energy efficiency, and electrification of demands:- EVs, electric cooking, railways, industrial and irrigation fuel switch, etc.

- Pitfalls in electricity projections and planning:- CEA has consistently over-projected demand by 1-2 percent points, leading to stranded assets- Each sector heavily influenced by specific drivers, policy bets and exogenous uncertainties (eg. rainfall, heat)- Often not amenable to model using least cost logic—widely varying discount rates and regulated fuel pricing

- rural vs urban, tier I vs tier 2, manufacturing vs SMEs, agricultural supply highly subsidised- behavioural (non-price) factors, supply (reliability issues tech costs often second or third order determinants of demand:

- Demand aggregationmarket certainty on supply side scale economies faster diffusion

India’s NDC:

Approach and salient features

Page 8: Bottom-up analysis of electricity demand: How much, by when … · - CEA has consistently over-projected demand by 1-2 percent points, leading to stranded assets - Each sector heavily

Salient Features

• Assess plausible levels in a modular fashion with greater granularity• Impact on sector-wise application-wise service demands based on hitherto unseen/unforseen

demand/growth, and macro growth and sectoral policy drivers • Complete characterization and calibration with historical (2010-15) end use demands• Inclusion of captive power (~15% of total consumption)

• Good (new electrification) vs bad (inefficiency) demand case-based bounding approach instead of narrative scenarios

• Policy bets, institutional change and behavioural shifts• Demand aggregation: 310/LED to 38/LED in <3 years; USD 1400/hp to 850/ hp in solar pumps• Farming cooperatives and AgDSM scheme on uptake of efficient pump-sets and solar+MI• Institutionalisation of building codes, behavioural impact of visible certifications• National cooling action plan, adaptive thermal comfort and AC use• Basic electricity access sophisticated uses such as electric cooking• Make in India/ National Manufacturing Policy and cap and trade (PAT) scheme and industrial EE and fuel/proces shift• Fleet shift to EV as first mover, followed by private vehicular segment

• B/w 2015 and 2030 approx. 100 million new HH expected

• Driven by urbanisation and shrinking HH size• 75% of new HH in urban areas will have

profound impact on housing demand

• For manufacturing ~25% of GDP by 2030 (~16% presently), industry must grow 1.5% points higher than overall GDP (assuming services retains its share at 60%)

Sectoral Drivers of Future Electricity Consumption

Sector DriversAgriculture Net sown area, cropping intensity, surface and micro irrigation coverage/schemes, cropping pattern and water

requirements, solar pumping, pump-set characteristics (size, head, discharge)

Buildings Floor space area, urbanisation and household sizes (rural and urban), affordable housing provision, service demand in low income households, appliance types, technologies, ownership and use, building shell design efficiency and electrical controls

Industry Manufacturing Policy, Make in India, Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT), infrastructure/development related demand, sub-sectoral policies and targets (eg. Steel target, NG switching in fertiliser production), alternate fuels and raw material, waste/scrap recycling, thermal substitution).

Transport Railway track growth, route kms. electrified, EV urban passenger demand (PKM demand, vehicle ownership and use, EV sales targets, EV technologies, duty cycles and charging provisions)

Others Historical rates of growth and urbanisation.

Cross Sectoral GDP Sectoral Value Added Service Demands (Industrial Production, Residential and Commercial Floor-space Area, Appliance Stock and Ownership)

Cross Sectoral Demographics Household Stock, rural-urban share, household sizes service demand per capita inorganic demand from new households

Water- energy nexus in agriculture

Base-year situation:• 141 mha under cultivation (NSA) with cropping

intensity of 139% (GCA)• More than 50% rainfed—2/3rd irrigation is via

groundwater sources • Water requirement from 24 crops (foodgrains,

vegetables, pulses, fruits, oilseed, fibres and other crops (over 80% GCA) analysed

2030 Scenario:• Cropping pattern assumed to continue, 5-10%

diversion to non-food crops will not significantly affect demand

• 150% cropping intensity by 2030 based on past trends• Upto 60% coverage through enhanced application of

surface +MI schemes • Enhanced water and energy use efficiency can reduce

demand by over 1.5 percentage points.

- If the affordable housing deficit has to be met by 2030, nearly ~6 million new houses to be available annually till 2022 and ~5 million between 2002 and 2030

- Houses populated earlier will have a higher consumption profile than ones populated later (post 2022)- Even if the entire housing deficit is met, the resultant additional electricity demand will be less than 50 TWh

Electric Vehicles- Fuel Cost ArbitrageQ: ASSUMING capital cost (with battery replacement) parity by 2030, how much is tariff is consumer WTP for using EVs instead of ICEVs (i.e. identical INR/km)?

- Tariff Threshold seems high, but so will be the infra costs

- Even at 33% EV sales by 2030 and slow charging, EVs 100 GW in peak demand (w/o captive charging capacity or battery swapping)

CO2 Emissions

Emission Factor

At 33% EV sales, GHG emissions from oil avoided:

- 15 Mt CO2 at current grid emission factors- 41 Mt CO2 if all charging is from zero emission sources.

This is less than 2% of 2014 net GHG Emissions as per BUR.

Key Takeaways- As per capita growth increases, capacity to invest in EE and potential for decoupling also does (see elasticities)

- India does not need to reach world average consumption levels (~2,500 kWh/capita) for high GDP growth

- Agricultural will grow at less than historical; commercial to grow fastest; industry remains largest consumer with untapped EE potential- HVAC share in buildings to rise from nearly a quarter to 60% by 2030

- Urban demand will constitute the bulk of electricity demand, but universal rural ‘energisation’ will continue to be a challenge (<10% of electrified villages have 100% HH electrification)

- EVs likely to be not a problem in BU but in GW terms; several enabling factors on tech and policy missing at present (range and power, duty cycles and solar coincidence, charging infra, battery standardization and costs)

- May partially solve local pollution issues but will not help much with GHG abatement.

- Policy bets on EE like bulk procurement will continue to pay off in unleashing large scale diffusion

- Overall demand will likely grow a percentage point less than the past (since 2000)- New (good) demands that improve quality of life indicators and facilitate energy security (fuel switching) and low-carbon growth (electrification

in industry, cooking, etc.) add ~280 TWh to electricity demand (~12% of mid demand)- Pricing, regulatory and behavioural interventions needed to curtail ‘bad’ growth in load and consumption
