Lack of a renewable energy policy for the State for the last five years has caused immense loss to Telangana in the matter of enhancing the new and renewable energy generation capacity, Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Finance and Energy M. Bhatti Vikramarka has said.
In a meeting with officials of Telangana State Renewable Energy Development Corporation (TSREDCO) held here on Friday, he said there was a need to focus on development of renewable energy generation capacity keeping in mind the changing times and the incentives/financial assistance being extended by the Centre and other organisations.
Mr. Vikramarka instructed the authorities of TSREDCO to prepare proposals for establishing renewable energy generation capacity in open places, government offices, reservoirs and other installations. Lack of a special policy had denied flow of funds from the Centre for the purpose during the last five years. He enquired with the officials about the scope of renewable energy generation and the present status in the State.
