1.Objectives:

1.1Whereaswithaviewtopromotegenerationofpower fromnonconventionalenergysources,Government of Rajasthan promulgated a Policy on 11.3.1999. This Policy known as "Policy forPromotingGenerationof Power throughNonConventionalEnergySources"endedon31stMarch,2004. A separate Policy was, however, issued on 4th February, 2000 exclusively for promotinggeneration of electricity from wind. This Policy known as "Policy for Promotion of ElectricityGenerationfromWind"tooendedon31stMarch,2004.DuringthecurrencyofWindPolicy2000anewPolicywaspromulgatedinApril2003forperiodupto31stMarch,2009.1.2Andwhereas,thenewCentralElectricityAct2003hascomeintoeffectfrom10.6.2003.1.3Andwhereas,clause4ofPolicy2003providesforsupersessionofthesame.

1.4Andwhereas,amongthenonconventionalsourcesofenergy,Solar,Wind,MiniSmallhydelandBiomasshavegoodpotentialforgeneration of electricity in Rajasthan and after having gathered the experiences from the earlier policies and identifying theimpediments in the process of generation of electricity from nonconventional sources, State Government has decided to issue acomprehensive Policy for generation of electricity from various sources of nonconventional energywhich offers solution to variousproblemsfacedbydevelopers,investorsandutilities,thisPolicyisbeingpromulgated.
