18 August 2023 | RESIDE Roundtable Aerocity, New Delhi

 

The residential sector in India accounts for 24% of all electricity usage, and by 2050, residential electricity consumption is expected to increase by more than eight times. Understanding the factors that drive the use of residential electricity in India is essential for designing policies that can reduce its expected growth. 

 

This roundtable event shared knowledge, tools and insights produced by the DST/EPSRC funded India-UK RESIDE project on residential building energy demand. The event also stimulated dialogue on the challenges and future directions for residential energy demand research in India.
