There has been great interest in the Indian renewable energy sector, both domestically in India as well as from major corporates abroad, with the Indian Government making it a priority sector in its reforms agenda. A host of changes have been proposed in the regulatory and policy landscape to attract investments and ensure rapid growth of the renewable energy sector in India. The most seminal of these changes is the proposed enactment of the National Renewable Energy Act 2015. This article analyses the key provisions of the Act in the broader context of the development of renewable energy in India; it highlights the key changes, loopholes, hurdles and the road that lies ahead for the industry stakeholders.
Never has there been a time when so much of the world's attention is focused on the rapidly increasing potential and need for renewable energy. The Journal of Renewable Energy Law and Policy provides a platform for review and discussion, both in Europe and internationally, of the legal and policy issues surrounding renewable energy. The journal reports on the dynamic and quickly changing developments taking place in Europe and around the world in the renewable energy sector, from bio-energy, solar and wind power to developing technologies like fuel cells and nuclear fusion. The journal serves a growing international community of renewable energy practitioners, lawyers and thought leaders with timely updates on legal and policy issues impacting renewable energy technologies and development. Each issue reports on trends and critical issues from the European Union and its active Member States, cutting edge experience from North America, Australia, and Japan, as well as opportunities and challenges in emerging markets and various corners of the developing world. Leading renewable energy scholars and practitioners report on the legal and policy implications of recent technology advances, political and regulatory decisions, market trends, as well as insightful new literature and relevant events. Above all, the journal provides a discussion forum and source of ideas and opportunities about critical issues of renewable energy - issues that will likely change our world.
Claeys & Casteels is a publishing house specialising in European Law. Its aim is to publish a portfolio of titles, written by the leading practitioners and policy makers in the area. Our titles provide a complete and definitive working guide to the areas covered. Our objective is to gradually produce a series of books covering all the main areas of EU law. We specialise in EU Energy Law and EU Competition Law and have recently started a series on EU Transportation Law. We also publish three academic journals: European Energy Journal, Competition Law & Policy Debate, and Renewable Energy Law & Policy Debate.
