\u201cThe government envisages to meet maximum energy requirement\nby tapping renewal energy resources and, to achieve the target of clean energy\nin a time bound manner, various policies and regulations are being constantly\nupdated.\u201d, said the Environment minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, to establish wind power project over forest land,\nthe existing procedure requires payment of mandatory charges for compensatory\nafforestation and Net Present value (NPV). In addition to mandatory charges, the\nwind power companies had to pay additional lease rent of 30,000 per MW. This\nadditional cost is not mandatory for other renewal energy projects such as\nsolar power and hydel electric projects. Additional cost for generation of\nclean energy through wind power, in turn escalate the per unit cost of power at\nconsumer level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Promotions of such projects also strengthen Government of\nIndia commitments towards International Agreements, and one of the National\nCommitment pledged in Paris in 2015 was to have 40% of the power from renewable\nresources by 2030 .It is noteworthy that currently India has over achieved the\ntarget and is well on track to ensure that more than 50% of our installed\ncapacity will come from renewable by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
