Clean and affordable supply of energy is one of the goals among the 17 sustainable development goals. In developing nations like India the fast development in clean and sustainable energy would allow creating evaluation of the Integrated Sustainable Energy Model scenarios in the context of energy a win-win situation for ensuring the rural energy security, mitigating the impact of rising fossil-fuel cost on the economy and avoid the negative implications of exhausting natural resources and ensure the rural energy security. Therefore, there is substantial scope for the exploitation of renewable energy technologies in bridging this gap by providing affordable and clean energy to the poor to meet their lighting, cooking, and thermal needs. The huge potential for the renewable energy mainly lies in local projects, so there’s need to adopt bottomup energy modelling approaches. Energy modelling at block level is highly influential rather than modelling for one village as the block consists of approximately 80-90 villages. Hence the current study emphasizes on energy planning and scenarios modelling for Gadhinglaj block which consists of 93 villages using LongRange Energy Alternatives Planning system (LEAP) tool. The main objective of the study is to develop Integrated Sustainable Energy Model scenarios for Gadhinglaj block also requirement, Social cost and benefit, and their environmental impact. Survey method is used to collect the data. The main output of this research is the development of alternative renewable energy options under different conditions for Gadhinglaj up to 2030.

Subject. The article reviews the way strategic threats to energy security influence the quality of people's life. Objectives. The study unfolds the theory of analyzing strategic threats to energy security by covering the matter of quality of people's life. Methods. To analyze the way strategic threats to energy security spread across cross-sectoral commodity and production chains and influences quality of people's living, I applied the factor analysis and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Results. I suggest interpreting strategic threats to energy security as risks of people's quality of life due to a reduction in the volume of energy supply. I identified mechanisms reflecting how the fuel and energy complex and its development influence the quality of people's life. The article sets out the method to assess such quality-of-life risks arising from strategic threats to energy security. Conclusions and Relevance. In the current geopolitical situation, strategic threats to energy security cause long-standing adverse consequences for the quality of people's life. If strategic threats to energy security are further construed as risk of quality of people's life, this will facilitate the preparation and performance of a more effective governmental policy on energy, which will subsequently raise the economic well-being of people.
