The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has issued a notice announcing an exemption to promote renewable energy adoption and facilitate the production of green hydrogen. This exemption applies to renewable energy plants located within Special Economic Zones (SEZs) or Export Oriented Units (EOUs) that exclusively supply power to production units engaged in green hydrogen or its derivatives. By exempting these plants from certain regulations, the government aims to create a conducive environment for renewable energy growth and promote green hydrogen as a cleaner fuel alternative. The exemption, detailed in the notice, relieves qualifying RE plants commissioned by December 31, 2030, from specific obligations related to the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) requirements for Solar PV Modules. This regulatory relief recognizes the importance of green hydrogen in transitioning towards a low-carbon economy and provides a boost to the development of cleaner energy solutions. Furthermore, India's National Green Hydrogen Mission projects a substantial investment of INR 8 lakh crore by 2030 to develop a green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT per annum. This investment is coupled with a renewable energy capacity addition target of about 125 GW by the same deadline, emphasizing the country's commitment to sustainable energy initiatives and a cleaner future.
