MUMBAI: Delivering the key note address at a Seminar on Renewable Energy, Minister of State of Power Piyush Goyal said, “The big picture is that renewable energy has arrived in India and it is the future.”He emphasized that a well drawn-out roadmap will help achieve the 175 gigawatt target by 2022. He said, “The framework both for financing renewable energy in the country and creating an enabling infrastructure for solar and wind has been developed.”Highlighting the other thrust areas in the renewables sector, Mr Goyal said, “There needs to be a strong focus on hydro and biofuels. Biofuels should be given an extra thrust not only because they can help address the pollution issue in Delhi and generate income for the farmers, but also primarily because these can help the country reduce reliance on imports of petroleum products.”Elaborating on the plan to scale up solar, he added, “This year about 18 GW will be bid out of which bidding has been completed for 4-5 GW and another 8-9 GW capacity are likely to be awarded shortly. The Ministry is working aggressively with the state governments to ensure adequate transmission capacity and is looking to add another 25 solar parks.
