(a) whether the Government has set up any co-ordinating agency to look into the early and
timely implementation of the renewable energy sources in the country;
(b) if so, the details thereof;
(c) whether the Government has set up any regional units for the proper management and
development of renewable energy sources in the country; and
(d) if so, the details thereof?
THE MINISTER OF NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY(DR. FAROOQ ABDULLAH)
(a),(b),(c)&(d): The renewable energy programmes are being implemented in the country through
the State Government Departments/designated State Nodal Agencies (SNAs), detailed list of
which is given in Annexure.Having a single coordinating agency at the Central level apart from
the Ministry or Regional units for management and development has not been considered
desirable as renewable energy sources are highly decentralized/ dispersed and location
specific and the programmes for their development need to be formulated, managed and
coordinated at the local levels, preferably at the district, block, village and panchayat
levels for proper impact.
