Land Acquisition Issues Mar Solar Investments
Large-scale solar power projects continue to face land acquisition challenges and other bureaucratic hurdles even as the government is looking to attract investments in this sector. The industry is asking for faster decision-making for making land available and simplifying government approvals to attract investments in power projects. Further there is delay in approvals, which is another hurdle. Large projects take time to get commissioned and delays add to the complexity in terms of execution time. Another problem that the industry faces is the availability of an evacuation line, with a sub-station transformer, to evacuate the power generated from a renewable energy resource. Power is a concurrent subject and industry watchers opine that potential investors as well as developers continue to find it challenging to work with various government departments to obtain clearances.
