The Hindu
The Solar Energy Policy 2019 and the Wind and Hybrid Energy Policy 2019 have emerged as major facilitators to harness the natural advantage Rajasthan holds in the renewable energy sector.
“Rajasthan has ranked second after Karnataka on the State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2020 released by the Union Ministry of Power,” an official said on Wednesday.
The state has registered 61 points, which is a tremendous rise from the score of 18.5 in the previous year’s SEEI 2019.
“In the previous year’s rankings, none of the states had qualified in the frontrunner category. However, this year, Rajasthan showing the highest improvement became the second state only after Karnataka to be included in the category,” Additional Chief Secretary (Power) Subodh Agarwal said in a statement.
