A day into the Copenhagen climate change meetings, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has indicated that it has no definite roadmap to implement its ambitious target of 20,000MW of solar power by 2022.
Although, on Tuesday, MNRE Minister Farooq Abdullah inaugurated the country’s first mega-watt level solar photovoltaic plant at Jamuria, near Asansol, he was, however, unable to provide a clear blueprint for his ministry’s plans for bringing solar power into the mainstay of India’s energy mix.
Abdullah said that about 1,300MW of solar power would be added over the next three years, however, moving forward his ministry would first evaluate its initial performance before deciding on the future course of action. Effectively, the enlargement of solar power nationwide over the next two decades continues to seemingly remain without a concrete plan of action.
Despite this, the minister remained confident that there would be increasing private participation in the sector in the coming years.
