Bengaluru, August 10: Giving a major thrust to energy security in the state of Karnataka, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy launched the Karnataka State Energy Calculator (KSEC) 2050, a first-of-its-kind web-enabled tool that promises to help the government attain energy security, and plan projects in the sector.

Developed on the lines of the India Energy Security Scenario 2047 calculator, KSEC 2050 is created by Niti Aayog and supported by British High Commission. The tool was first developed by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change.
