Executive Summary -- Introduction -- Overview of Indian Solar Energy Sector -- Power Scenario in Tamil Nadu -- Institutional Framework and Policies on Renewable Energy in Tamil Nadu Power Scenario in Karnataka -- Institutional Framework and Policies on Renewable Energy in Karnataka -- Solar Technology Assessment and Appropriate Technology Options -- Recommendations -- Appendices.

Summary: Currently most of the energy needs in India are met through fossil fuels. However, the potential for renewable energy in the country is enormous. While the contribution of renewable energy is 7.7% in the overall energy mix, the government is putting in a lot of efforts in increasing its share, with a target of 20 GW generation by 2022. This publication analyzes the performance of two states in India— Karnataka and Tamil Nadu— in their efforts toward installing solar and wind energy. It attempts to distill the reasons for their success, albeit in two very different renewable energy programs. It covers the major initiatives taken by the country in the form of policy and regulations including the formation of a full-fledged Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
