“…Among the renewable sources of energy, wind power has been widely used to satisfy the increasing need for affordable and clean energy (Deep et al 2020) and it contributes to the sustainable growth of the country (Sadorsky 2021). The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), India, has been instrumental in providing adequate policy support and a conducive regulatory environment to ensure the sector's rapid and orderly development (Khan and Khan 2013). The country has taken several steps to encourage wind energy, including the introduction of Generation-Based Incentives (GBI), Accelerated Depreciation (AD), Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), reform of the Electricity Act 2003 and tariff rules, competitive bidding, and the implementation of an offshore wind energy policy in 2018.…”

Graphical abstract The Indian renewable energy sector has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 15.51% in the last five years, where wind growth is about 8%. The Indian government has been adopting changes to create a safe, cheap, and sustainable energy system to fuel vigorous economic growth. The government has made significant efforts in ensuring universal access to energy, giving power to its residents. It is implementing a large-scale deployment of renewable energy, particularly solar and wind. This paper examines the country's wind sector in-depth, including the government policy, financial incentives, and accomplishments. The study goes on to discuss the prospects and problems of the wind sector, as well as solutions to overcome them to reach the estimated target of 140–150 GW by 2030. Wind power growth in the country has weakened in the last few years which may hamper the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets. Wind industry is facing several hindrances ranging from discontinuation of incentives, land acquisition, DISCOM’s poor health, change in bidding scheme, old wind sites, etc. Certain steps, such as repowering outdated wind farms, giving generation-based incentives, tax concessions, reassessing the country’s wind potential, and constructing competitive renewable energy zones could aid in reviving the wind energy sector.

“…The ones mentioned most frequently are: Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha, and Kerala (Table 3). Numerous state-level studies focus on various aspects of renewable energy, such as solar energy resource potential [139,140], public acceptance of small hydroelectric power [141], diffusion of renewable energy [142][143][144], policy implementation [145], or the management of biomass energy [146]. Research has also delved into the energy-food or the energy-water nexus, for example, in the case of Gujarat [147], Karnataka [148], Tamil Nadu [149], or West Bengal [150].…”

Limited Demand or Unreliable Supply? A Bibliometric Review and Computational Text Analysis of Research on Energy Policy in India

Although India has made significant progress towards the sustainable development goal on energy (SDG 7), further policy innovations are essential for closing the gap, addressing geographic disparities, and harnessing energy for transformative change. Research can support this process by creating policy-relevant knowledge regarding the energy transition, but there is no systematic account of the literature pertaining to energy policy in India to map the research area and suggest key avenues for future research. In this study, I conduct a bibliometric review and computational text analysis of over 2700 publications to identify the key themes, geographies, and public policy concepts (not) examined in the research on energy policy in India. I find that: (i) the literature is dominated by topics in energy supply and less attention is paid to demand-side management, energy efficiency, and electricity distribution; (ii) existing studies have hardly examined subnational policy (-making), especially in the case of eastern and north-eastern India; and (iii) research on both analysis for policy and analysis of policy is limited. I conclude that the current foci lack the breadth and depth necessary for supporting the Indian energy transition and urge scholars to diversify the thematic, geographic, and conceptual engagement in future research.

Clean energy resources is the domain where India should thrust to promote ecofriendly power generation and save the regularly diminishing coal reserves, Khan et al [7], Athanas et al, [8], and L-1.Seeing the popularity of solar tree application worldwide it felt necessary to design and erect small scaled solar tree in India.…”

Clean/green energy embraces renewable resources like bio, geo, hydro, oceanic, solar, and aeolian power. They are utilized in energy generation, heating and cooling processes, transport, domestic and urban niches. India has aimed to rise in its per capita energy use to rise by 40%, and emission cut/GDP pledge by 33-35% till 2030 compared to 2005 level by building extra carbon sink 2.5-3.0 billion MT CO2e by targeting renewable source to 175GW (100GW of Solar) by 2022. The killer SARSCoV-2 virus has the target and the clean/green energy growth. The reduction of CO2 has been depleted due to industrial, urban and transportation shut downs and the 2019 grey sky has converted old blue environment, Solar power plants considered to be best remedy for apocalyptic. The Solar tree or Solar Parks concept is novel and the most easy, economic and commercial method that can have utilities in all development sector. The work envisages the design by MATLAB (Simulink simulated). The fabrication of solar trees of 180 watt capacity in workshop including has been tested under different solar insulations. The result inferred that the solar tree can be a part to solar park, installed at fallow/hilly terrains in less area, low cost by 18.51%, with higher power generation by sustaining the environment serve as real trees. The solar trees near National Highways shall sell/hire batteries on commercial basis like fuel pumps and gas cylinders for supply to e-vehicles.
