In recent times, the shift from non-renewable energy to renewable energy has brought about a paradigm shift in the energy sector.Ā Security and self-sufficiency, as regards energy, has led to a situation where in the role of new and renewable energy has become important. The Government has given significant thrust to the research, development and induction of energy technologies in different sectors. However, a distinct coverage of the energy sector in India is not provided for by the legal regime. At the same time there are a number of statutes, supplementary laws and policies that have a significant bearing on the Energy sector in India.
As the adage goes, it is not the presence of laws that bring out the very best in governance, but a proper implementation of the same. Laws, aplenty, would be of no avail and would serve no purpose, unless properly implemented. This calls for and accentuates the need of having properly trained and efficient personnel. Lack of such a group has always been a bane for India, in many a sector and renewable energy sector too, is no exception. More importantly, conceptualization, visualization, planning and bringing into effect a robust policy and law, and to equip the personnel to put it into application in the Renewable Energy Sector is an imperative need.
The objective of the programme is mainly to educate and equip the target groups mainly consisting of personnel who are involved in the energy sector of government, energy regulators, industrialists who invest and bring about development in this sector and practitioners of law. The programme will provide an outline of law and policies involved in the Energy sector, the procedure of implementation of the same and the various incentives, options for investment within the framework of law.
