  • As per the report received from the State, about 92% of 39,967 biogas plants installed are in working condition in the State of Himachal Pradesh.

  • Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has supported efficient biogas stoves through research and development projects. Biogas stoves with BIS specifications are produced by  about 10 manufacturers in the country. Beneficiaries have the choice to procure the stoves either from biogas programme implementing  department/ agency or purchase directly from the approved manufacturers of biogas stoves.

  • MNRE is encouraging private sector participation in setting up of renewable energy power projects through various financial and fiscal incentives.

  • MNRE provides capital subsidy or generation based incentives depending upon category of the proposal. Besides, fiscal incentives such as excise and custom duty concessions, preferential tariff on sale of power and ten years tax holiday are eligible for setting up of renewable energy power projects. Renewable power obligation (RPO) and renewable energy certificates (RECs), clean development mechanism (CDM) are the other instruments for promotion of renewable energy power projects.

  • This information was given by the Minister of New and Renewable Energy Dr. Farooq Abdullah in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
