Gender Analysis of Renewable Energy in India, 2009
ENERGIA partnered with Integrated Research and Action for Development (IRADe) to perform a gender analysis of national energy policies in India. In India, the demand for energy is increasing to fuel a rapidly expanding economy, and large investments are being made in exploration, fuel production, the generation, transmission and distribution of power and in setting up grid infrastructure. These massive efforts in energy development do not consider the needs of women, their access to and control over energy resources or support a gender based empowerment process.
