Institute of Energy Management and Research
Introduction
The Energy sector in India is undergoing unprecedented investment and growth. Theprivate sector has become an integral part of this hitherto public sector dominated industry.The Power sector has become one of the preferred destinations for investors, with severalmulti-billion dollar IPOs in 2009. Dozens of companies have announced projects worthbillions of dollars. Along with the large investments in conventional energy sources,emerging areas like alternative energy, energy efficiency, environmental management andsmart technologies needed for sustainable development have become key considerationsfor corporate management and policy makers.
To tackle these challenges and realize the growth promised by these investments, thereis need for tens of thousands of highly competent managers. However, there has notbeen a commensurate investment in developing human resources and management talentto deliver on these growth plans. Further, there is an urgent need to engage even theexisting managers from the sector with the different facets of sustainable development.
