BENGALURU: To reduce transmission and distribution losses and decentralise power generation and distribution, the Energy Department is working on a new energy policy where renewable energy, preferably solar, will be generated near substations and added to the grid for distribution locally.
Energy Minister KJ George said on Tuesday that officials of the department, including engineers, have been given the task of preparing the policy. The aim of the new policy is to help consumers reduce their financial burden. All sources of green energy – solar, wind and hydrogen – will be tapped.
