The Central government has issued a circular to all power distribution companies stating it was mandatory for them to buy electricity from power plants fuelled by solid waste. In case the companies brush aside the instructions, the government would impose severe penalties on them, an entitlement that comes from the recent amendment of the Electricity Regulatory Act (2013), the notice said.
“It’s a big decision taken by the government,” said Praveen Prakash, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Urban Development.
