Centre for Science & Environment comments on the draft policy document of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), Phase II

Capital subsidies for renewable energy, both off-grid and on-grid, have been abandoned in favour of some kind of generation based incentives or other financial instruments like soft loans in the case of off-grid solar in almost all parts of the world. The draft of JNNSM, Phase II continues this conservative approach to funding renewable energy projects, says CSE.
