Transmission
• Initially, State grids were inter-connected to form regional grid • India was demarcated into 5 regions namely Northern, Eastern, Western, North Eastern and Southern region • In October 1991 North Eastern and Eastern grids were connected. • In March 2003 WR and ER-NER were interconnected . • August 2006 North and East grids were interconnected • On 31 December 2013, Southern Region was connected to Central Grid 'ONE NATION'-'ONE GRID'

Energy Access
Access to Affordable, Reliable, Sustainable and Modern Energy for all its citizens
Indoor air pollution Toxic cooking smoke claims 1.9 million lives a year–making it the fifth worst threat to public health in the developing world.
Demand for modern energy services
Globally, over 3 billion people depend on biomass stoves for cooking. With 4 people per stove the World needs ≈ 700 million biomass cook stoves

Energy security: country wide, large-scale
Energy security: security of supply aspect such as continuous availability of
energy (fuel) and prices (market). It also includes downstream effects such as
the impact on economic and social welfare of the society.

National Energy security
India is endowed with good renewable energy resources like solar, wind, and biomass
Even at village level, use of locally available resources is preferable than using fuels transported from the far-flung areas.
Renewable energy is more appropriate as the resources are diffused and decentralized.
