I. INTRODUCTION
Energy is basic requirement of human beings in modern society .it is an important input in all sectors of country’s economy. As such there is a close relationship between the availability of energy and the growth of a country. The degree of prosperity of a country can be measured from the energy consumption by its people. Lack of energy resources has an adverse effect on the economic growth and the progress of country. Power generation is done from the various sources of energy. It is increasing exponently from last few decades due to increasing demands in industries, domestic use and other purposes. As population is increasing day by day, the energy consumption is also increasing very rapidly. Therefore, adequate supplies of clean, reliable and economic energy is required through exploiting various sources of energy. The energy available in the natural form is not directly usable. The natural forms of energy are chemical energy of fossil fuels, nuclear energy of radioactive materials, photon and thermal energy of the sun and potential or kinetic energy of air and water flow.
II. ENERGY CRISIS
India faces an enormous demand supply gap of about 11% energy shortage and 14% peak power shortage.
III. ENERGY CRISIS IN INDIA
There have been 3 chief energy crises until now – the 1973 oil crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, and the 1990 oil-price hike, aside from a couple of regional crises. Prices have been briskly escalating for the past five years, due to the rising desire and the escalating shortage of energy resources.
