The Indian government plans to make bundling of conventional electricity with renewable energy mandatory for all generation companies in the country, including private ones, to reduce the country’s coal demand and make electricity prices cheaper or more attractive for distribution companies (discoms), Union Power Minister RK Singh said last week.
To help with this, he stated that another proposal is in the works under which all power projects, even captive ones, will be mandated to construct renewable projects at their current locations.
