India\u2019s western state of Rajasthan which is home to India\u2019s only desert and with one of the least population densities has come out with a new wind energy policy. Note Rajasthan has won the lion\u2019s share of solar power plants in the federal subsidy due to the high solar radiation and cheap land prices. The state also boasts of around 10% of India\u2019s wind energy capacity with most of the wind power plants<\/a> located in the western desert districts of Jaisalmer and Barmer.<\/p>\n The State Government has come out with a new wind Subsidy<\/strong> policy to further boost the renewable energy generation. The policy has incentives like:<\/p>\n a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cheap Land to be given to Wind Farms<\/p>\n b)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Recognition of Wind Energy Generation as an Industry which would result in concessions for developers<\/p>\n c)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Electricity Duty Waiver<\/p>\n d)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Feed in Tariffs<\/p>\n While Rajasthan has announced big bang policies for the different green energy sectors, the implementation has not been up to the mark. While Gujarat has managed to execute spectacularly on its renewable energy policies, Rajasthan like other states has mostly been talking without action. Rajasthan solar energy policy<\/a> has not seen much traction despite highly favorable conditions.<\/p>\n The Indian Desert State of Rajasthan in the West, which borders Pakistan is planning to set up four gigawatt<\/strong> scale solar parks<\/strong> in 4 districts of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Barmer. Note, under the first 2 phase of JNNSM <\/a>, Rajasthan has got the lion\u2019s share of the solar farms being constructed. The State of Solar Energy in India <\/a>has been marked by stiff competition between some states like Gujarat, Rajasthan to take the top solar dog spot.<\/p>\n
