India’s Updated (2016) Renewable Energy “Guidelines”: Bold targets, but can we meet them?
Tongia, Rahul | August 2016
Abstract
The Government of India has issued new norms for Renewable Energy (RE) in India, via guidelines for states to buy RE, through updated renewable purchase obligations (RPOs). These are central government guidelines, but ultimately RPOs will have to come from State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs). Historically, states have had weaker RPOs, and limited enforcement or penalties for not meeting targets.
