- Challenges in increasing sourcing of renewable power (stood at 9.2% of electricity consumption)
- Significant challenges in implementing renewable energy strategies owing to temporary operations at project sites, open boundaries, and extensive spatial coverage
- Challenges in sourcing renewable energy at project sites due to unavailability of adequate area for installing solar modules, difficulties in getting green open access for temporary connections, developers’ preference for long term power purchase agreements (10-15 years) and varying regulations and charges across the states
