Policy & Regulatory Framework for
Renewable Energy Development
History of creation of MNRE
(SECI)
Policy and regulatory framework for
Renewable Energy(RE)
Electricity Act (EA), 2003
Central Government to develop a national policy for optimal utilization of
resources including RE.
SERCs should specify appropriate tariffs to promote RE and specify targets for
RE.
Grid
connectivity
regulations

Opportunities in Solar Energy
Financing
EPC
Investment to the tune of $ 135
billion required in RE sector and A lot of new entrants in
$ 75 billion in solar by 2022 Market, requiring EPC
Govt. of India open to new ideas Many Govt. companies have
like hedging funds, dollar signed Green energy
denominated tariffs commitments and need EPCs
Project Development Opportunity

Rooftop Solar through Home Loans: DFS has issued guidelines and
circulars issued by various banks to include rooftop under housing loan
Green Bonds: Enabling low cost funding for clean energy , REC, PFC,
IREDA, IDBI and private sector like ICICI, Yes Bank asked to issue green
bonds to raise funding for RE projects

Solar Rooftop
Grid Connected Solar Rooftop
Ministry is implementing a Grid Connected Rooftop and Small Solar
Power Plants Programme since 26th June, 2014.
Against a target for 100 GWp solar power by 2022, 40 GWp has to
come from Grid Connected Solar Rooftop.
Plant size ranges from 1 kWp to 500 kWp and 1 kW solar rooftop
system requires about 10 sq.m. roof area
Rs. 600 crore allocated during 12th Five Year Plan with estimated
target of about 300 MWp has been up-scaled to Rs.5000 crore for
about 4200 MWp to be implemented by 2019-20.

MNRE especially encourages Renewable Energy for Rural Application using small
portable box and dish cookers for households .
Besides this MNRE has support scheme to encourage entrepreneurs/NGOs or any
organizations who come with innovative project ideas. (Up to 30% to 40 % depending on
the merit of the project)
