The strategic objective is to provide the analytical basis for assisting these states develop power sector policies, and strategies that are environmentally sustainable.

The difference in emissions (and damage costs) between reform, and stalled reform far exceeds the difference across all other options, such as DSM, or the use of renewables. 2) The further addition of environmental benefits yields the social net benefit. The only (significant) winners of stalled reform are the pilferers, who would benefit from the failure to further reduce non-technical losses. Unless the reforms progress to completion, all other stakeholders, including the environment, would lose. 2014-04-25T20:59:36Z 2014-04-25T20:59:36Z 2004-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/10/5742706/environmental-issues-power-sector-long-term-impacts-policy-options-rajasthan http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18082 English en_US Energy Sector Management Assistance Program; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ Washington, DC Publications & Research :: ESMAP Paper Publications & Research South Asia India
