As I type this, a UPS beeps furiously behind me, and the growl of half-a-dozen diesel generators is audible down the street. I'm in Leh, a city nestled in a Himalayan valley surrounded by 6,000-metre / 20,000-foot peaks, the fast-growing capital of India's northernmost territory Ladakh. It's clearly outgrown its electrical capacity; power cuts hit several times a day.Power generation is a deeply unsexy but profoundly important subject in the developing world.
