The proposed changes in the Electricity Act, 2003, will have a greater focus on renewable energy with renewable generation obligations likely to be made mandatory for power producers.
"We will ensure the renewable generation obligation is enforced strictly and levy penalties on those who do not adhere to it. We will go to the Cabinet very soon with the proposed changes," said Piyush Goyal, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy, on Tuesday
Goyal was speaking at an event organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
