As many as 51 Renewable Energy (RE) projects having accumulative capacity 2,634MW have been commissioned so far and supply clean energy to the national grid.
Official sources told media here that the government was actively promoting and facilitating deployment of RE projects across the country as these projects were being pursued in Independent Power Producers (IPPs) mode through private sector investors under policies.
Utilisation of solar energy technology at consumer ends across domestic, commercial, industrial sectors was also being encouraged. Several other initiatives were being taken for fast-track development of RE projects. They said net-metering based installations were being done under National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Alternative & Renewable Energy) Distributed Generation and Net Metering Regulations, 2015 announced on September 1, 2015.
