To give a push to clean energy projects in the country, the government has decided to waive transmission charges for electricity generated from renewable sources, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesdayoday.
“We are bringing out a legal framework where all inter—state transmission of renewable energy will be at zero cost,” New & Renewable Energy Minister Piyush Goyal said here.
“So renewable energy will not be charged any transmission charges across the country,” he said.
The government, which has already sanctioned contracts worth Rs 38,000 crore through competitive bidding for green corridors, is identifying more such areas.
