نقش انرژی تجدید پذیر در بخش برق هند

Renewable energy in the form of small hydro, biomass, solar, urban waste, industrial waste and wind together accounts for 14.8% of the total installed power generation capacity in India (as on Dec 2016). Deregulation, liberalization and opening up of Indian electricity market post enactment of Indian Electricity Act 2003 has ensured complete participation by private producers. Today 99% of total installed generation capacity using Renewable energy (other than Hydro) is by private producers. In this study we review the role played by Renewable Energy in Indian Power sector, REC trading and the role played by power/energy exchanges in Indian electricity market with the objective of aiding policymakers to bring forth further measures to stimulate future growth of Renewable energy in India for decades to come.
