Uttar Pradesh biomass energy policy 2011: draft
Power is the engine for growth and thereby strength of any developing economy. Consumption of electrical energy is a universally accepted indicator of progress in the agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors, as also of the well being of the people of the State. No major economic activity can sustain without adequate and reliable supply of power. It plays a critical role in employment generation, regional development and poverty eradication. The inadequate availability of power plays a spoil spot in the development of Uttar Pradesh. Biomass Power Projects(including project based on Urban Solid Waste) only up to 15MW capacity shall be eligible for benefit under this policy.
