Renewable Energy — Policy Changes

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2022 (Proposed)	2022	This proposed amendment aims to further liberalize the power sector, promote competition, and strengthen regulatory mechanisms. Key provisions include enabling multiple distribution licensees in the same area, strengthening the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) framework, and ensuring timely payment to power generators. It also proposes to empower the Central Government to specify a minimum percentage of renewable energy for procurement by distribution licensees.	If enacted, it would significantly boost renewable energy procurement by making RPOs more stringent and enforceable. It could also enhance consumer choice and promote efficiency in the distribution sector, indirectly benefiting renewable energy generators by creating a more competitive market. The focus on payment security would also de-risk investments in the renewable sector.
Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill, 2022	2022	This Bill amends the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, to empower the central government to specify a carbon credit trading scheme. It also mandates the use of non-fossil sources of energy for industrial, transport, and other purposes, and introduces energy consumption standards for vehicles and vessels. A key provision is the definition of 'green hydrogen' and 'green ammonia' to promote their use.	The amendment is crucial for accelerating India's decarbonization efforts. By mandating non-fossil fuel use and establishing a carbon credit market, it creates economic incentives for industries to switch to renewable energy. The focus on green hydrogen and ammonia directly supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission, fostering new renewable energy-based industries and enhancing energy security.
