“…In addition to this, the government of India needs to encourage the local manufacturing industry to meet the demand for and supply of CSP technology in order to lower imports from international manufacturing units. This is in line with recent major national programs called "Make in India" and "Atmanirbhar Bharat" [80,81]. The main aim of these programs is to support the local manufacturing units.…”

“…In India, there is the lack of infrastructural development; investors are therefore required to spend a lot of research and time to locate the potential sites for the construction of CSP plants [1]. Another challenge is that after identifying the potential sites, investors require approval from various authorities in order to develop CSP technologies [11,13,80,86]. To address this matter, the government needs to support the entire project implementation, including the allocation of potential sites, funds, transportation facilities, water resources, and other development measures required for the infrastructure.…”

“…These states are ruled by local ministers, and the eight union territories are under the control of the President of India. According to the constitution of India, states can frame their own energy policies [80]. Because of the lack of renewable energy technology policies, investors need to wait for a long period of time [80,85].…”

India is endowed with a lot of solar radiation as a result of its location. The Indian government therefore intends to maximize the usage of its solar energy resources through the development of solar power plants across the country. The concentrated solar power plant (CSP) is one of the technologies that rely on solar energy for its electricity generation. The type of condenser model in the CSP technology has the potential to affect its techno-economic viability. In this paper, a 100 MW solar tower power plant (STPP) with two different condenser models, i.e., the dry-cooled STPP and wet-cooled STPP models, are studied using the System Advisor Model (SAM) at six different geographical areas in India. The study employed the optimization of the thermal energy storage and the solar field size to identify the minimum levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for all six locations. Results from the simulation show that the LCOE will range between 13 and 17 cents/kWh under the optimization conditions for the STPP dry-cooled condenser model, while that of the wet-cooled condenser model will range between 12.40 and 12.96 USD cents/kWh for the study locations. It was also observed that the optimized solar multiple (SM) for the dry-cooled STPP model ranges between 1.4 and 1.8, whereas that of the wet-cooled model ranges between 1 and 1.8. The study identified Bhopal as the best location for installing the STPP plant for both condenser models. In addition, this paper also discusses major potential barriers and government policies that are needed to develop CSP technologies in India. The outcome of the study is expected to help both government and other stakeholders in decision making and policy formulation for the sector.

“…The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) plays a major part in the development of wind power projects. However, there is a need for developing financial institutions, particularly those backing the wind energy plants [117]. The various financial constraints faced by wind farms for their development [118] are high financial costs, volatile market, uncertain policy environment, lack of fixed interest rate loans, unavailability of long-term hedging instruments, uncertainty in financial markets, and availability of funds.…”

Given the recent increasing public focus on climate change issues, the share of electricity generation by renewable energy resources is increasing day by day. Increased renewables share will give us robust, sustainable, and climate-friendly energy systems for the future. Renewable energy penetration with the current power systems needs substantial research, planning and development which are now the primary focus throughout the world. In this study, a global renewable energy scenario is explained in detail in contrast with India, considering a case study elucidating the comprehensive review of the Gujarat state in India. The primary focus is on Gujarat state's actions plans to pertain to harvest renewable energy and maximizing its share in the energy mix. This study examines the actions and the policies adopted by the Gujarat government to overcome the potential barriers in order to support non-conventional as well as renewable energy development. It also investigates the numerous techno-economic and social constraints with possible solutions in promoting the deployment of upcoming renewable energy resources across Gujarat. This study can be used as a guideline for the government, policymakers, utilities, stakeholders and researchers to promote an increased renewable energy share in Gujarat as well as at other places around the globe.Energies 2020, 13, 40 2 of 30 Development Goals (SDGs) in January 2016, with 17 goals, which also aimed at achieving affordable and clean energy for all [4]. The government of India, under the SDG's India Index, is planning to deliver a complete view on the "social, economic, and environmental status of the country". The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI), shortly referred to as NITI Aayog, started a broad exercise to measure the progress of "India and its States towards the SDGs for 2030" [5]. As of 2010, the global power production from non-hydro renewable energy resources accounted for about 3.3%. The support from the new policies, there has been a growth in renewables, which increased to 5% by 2011 [6]. In the early days, most industrialized countries were considered as the roots of renewable energy innovation. However, in recent years, many developing countries, especially China and India, have become popular leaders in renewable energy use, as well as an innovation [7].Considering India's current energy situation, it should decrease the emissions from the energy sector in the future and is expected to curb the rise in temperatures to below 2 • C by 2100 to support the global effect indicated in the Paris agreement [8]. About 44% of India's rural households, i.e., 138 million, produce lighting through electricity, an efficient and reliable source of power. The remaining 55% primarily use kerosene, an inefficient source and its price have also become costly [9]. The depletion of natural resources and increasing demand is ubiquitous in all states of India. There is a shortage of energy, and hence, it slows down India's industrial and economic growth.
