This data is about important energy facts for India, provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA)(IEA – International Energy Agency - IEA, 2023). According to the IEA, India is one of the biggest energy users in the world, and its demand for energy will increase quickly in the future. While India has challenges with making sure that energy is reliable and affordable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and balancing energy needs with climate change, it has set goals to use more renewable energy and be more energy efficient. These goals will increase the amount of renewable energy used in India and reduce the use of fossil fuels. India's energy industry has plenty of room to grow and improve, especially when it comes to renewable energy and energy efficiency. I downloaded a dataset of key indicators for different energy mixes. The dataset contained information on various energy sources such as coal, oil, gas, nuclear, and renewables. The indicators included annual emissions, installed capacity, and electricity generation. After examining the dataset, I decided to put together a selection of the data that I found most relevant to my research. I organized this selection into a folder containing 55 Excel files, with each file focusing on a specific aspect of the data. For instance, one file contained information on coal emissions, while another file focused on renewable energy generation. Overall, I believe that this selection of data will be instrumental in helping me gain a better understanding of the energy landscape and how it is changing over time.
