Business Standard|November 10, 2022

Renewable power generation may become a must for new coal plants

The ministry has proposed amendments to Tariff Policy 2016 to include the provision of "renewable generation obligation" (RGO). It has proposed that after April 2024, any new thermal power capacity will need to build or procure a similar quantum of renewable energy. It has also proposed an alternative where the Centre will prescribe the quantum of renewable to be built but the minimum threshold will be 25 per cent of the coal capacity being built.
