India revises new wind turbine models
In a major policy shift, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) disbanded the committee, which oversaw approval of new wind turbine models for sale in India. According to previous regulations, it was mandatory for all wind turbine models to be approved by the RLMM committee comprising representatives from government, wind power producers and domestic wind turbine manufacturers. Wind energy generators and independent power producers have strongly supported the change. In a statement to a leading media outlet, Wind Independent Power Producers Association president Sunil Jain said: "This is a welcome step by the MNRE to remove non-tariff barriers and reduce the delays manufacturers faced in getting certification."
