India to pip EU as world's 3rd largest power consumer by 2040: IEA

到2040年，印度将超过欧盟，成为全球第三大电力消费国

NEW DELHI: India will dislodge the European Union as the world’s third-largest energy consumer by 2030 as urbanised population expands and rapid economic growth pulls more people out of poverty, says the International Energy Agency’s second ‘India Energy Outlook’ released on Tuesday.

新德里：国际能源机构周二发布的第二份《印度能源展望》报告称，随着城市化、人口扩张和快速经济增长，更多的人摆脱贫困，到2030年，印度将取代欧盟，成为全球第三大能源消费国。

By 2040, India’s electricity system will be larger than the EU in terms of generation capacity and the country will have more renewable capacity than the US.

到2040年，印度电力系统的发电量将超过欧盟，可再生能源发电量将超过美国。

The country will contribute 25% of the global growth in energy demand through 2040, posting the largest increase for any country, the report says.

报告称，到2040年，印度对全球能源需求增长的贡献将达到25%，是增长幅度最大的国家。

But this will also pose twin challenges of securing energy supplies and meeting the “swelling demand without exacerbating issues like costly energy imports, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions”.

这也将带来双重挑战：既要确保能源供应，又要在“不增加能源进口、空气污染和温室气体排放等的情况下”满足“不断增长的需求”。

IEA executive director Fatih Birol says, “The stakes could not be higher, for India and for the world. All roads to successful global clean energy transitions go via India.”

国际能源机构执行主任Fatih Birol说：“对印度和全世界来说，这关系重大。全球清洁能源转型的成功之路必定经过印度。”

If you look at the charts, after 2014 both clean cooking and electricity access has increase dramatically. Thank you Modiji!

2014年之后，清洁烹饪和电力供应都大幅增加。感谢莫迪!

All this accompanies by huge growth...

印度能有消耗将大幅增长

To achieve such long term projects and goals, we need NDA led by Modhiji to continue for another Fifteen Years at least.

为了实现这个长远目标，我们需要莫迪领导的人民党至少再执政15年。

The pollution is already so bad you can barely breathe and most people coughing is because of high pollution. Looks like it is only going to get worse and there will be related lung diseases. What India also needs to do is get a handle on population growth.

污染太严重了，我们都快无法呼吸了，大多数人咳嗽是空气污染导致的。

看来情况只会变得更糟，污染还会引发相关的肺部疾病。

印度还需要做的是控制人口增长。

There are Considerable Confluence and Concentration of Chamcha Corrupt CONGIS, Cheap Capital Crazy COMMUNISTS like the Gold Smuggling CM of Kerala, Communal forces, Regional Zealots out to destroy India from within to dampen the Development Agenda. Get Rid of them, First and Foremost.

腐败的国大党，比如走私黄金的喀拉拉邦首席部长，地区狂热分子，他们试图从内部摧毁印度，破坏印度。先把他们除掉

Market economy global economy,large consumer market with affordability are in INDIA's favour making it consumer driven market demand promoting energy supply to INDIA both from within&without.A rising INDIA which is not a threat to global market will help in global peace&progress unlike the mercantile hegemonic CHINA.

市场经济、全球经济对印度有利，消费者驱动的市场需求促进了印度内外的能源供应。与商业霸权的不同，崛起的印度不会对全球市场构成威胁，将有助于全球和平与进步。

Most remarkable thing in the Budget was the HYDROGEN MISSION - the fuel of the future. Thanks Modiji and Team. For pollution solution, there is no better solution.

预算中最引人注目的是——推动使用未来的燃料氢。谢谢莫迪及其团队。要解决污染问题，没有比这更好的办法了。

I hope govt pushes for renewable power sources. Then only it makes sense. Otherwise it’ll cause more issues like the recent avalanche.

我希望政府推动可再生能源的发展。只有这样做才有意义，否则将会引起更多的问题，就像最近的冰川断裂。

Recent avalanche washed away a renewable power source. Did you know that?

最近的冰川断裂冲走了一种可再生能源，你知道吗?

Creating a market for Adani Power ???

为阿达尼电力创造市场??

We need clean energy transition plan. We cannot rely on oil and gas for our energy needs. What are the states doing to increase clean energy transition?

我们的清洁能源应当转型。我们不能依赖石油和天然气来满足能源需求。各邦在促进清洁能源转型方面做了哪些工作?

Each house in Europe consumes so much power in heating that can light up an entire Indian village. Westerners have destroyed the equilibrium of planet Earth.

在欧洲，每户人家在供暖方面所消耗的电力足以照亮一个印度村庄。西方人破坏了地球的平衡。

jumla charts prepared by some dkhead bhakt...bodi and his team not fit to even be a good chaiwala...live in reality or just die

报告是由一些白痴准备的…莫迪和他的团队只适合去卖茶…要么活在现实中，要么死去

Seshasai Srinivasan

The data is coming from International Energy Agency, not form GOI. Please read before dismissing anything just because you don't like Modi.

数据来自国际能源机构，而不是印度政府。不要因为你不喜欢莫迪而胡乱抨击。

Why are you talking about something another 20yrs from. Lot could change in thise 20yrs and no one cares about what you wrote. Write about what India can do next 5yrs even if its small accomplishments.

为什么要说20年后的事。在这20年里会发生很多变化，没人在乎你写了什么。写一写印度未来5年能做什么，即使只是小小的成就也行。
