This document outlines Jammu and Kashmir's Solar Power Policy. It aims to promote solar power generation in the state to meet national targets under India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. The policy provides incentives for solar power projects such as no entry tax on equipment, land lease at nominal rates, assistance with clearances, and exemption from electricity duty. It establishes procedures for allotting land and evaluating project proposals. Solar plants must be commissioned within 24 months of receiving approvals and will be eligible for incentives for 25 years. The energy can be used captively or sold to the state power utility or third parties.

China Clean Energy Industry Report, 2009 2010ResearchInChina
Clean energy refers to the energy that doesn’t discharge pollutants, mainly including nuclear energy, hydropower, wind power, solar power, bio-energy (biogas), and tidal energy. At present, China's energy consumption structure is still dominated by thermal power, and the structure won’t change in the near future. But in the long run, clean energy will account for an increasingly larger proportion in electricity generating capacity. The figure below shows that the proportion of nuclear power, hydropower and other power sources increased from 19.7% in 2007 to 23.0% in March 2010, up 3.3 percentage points. As China launches more preferential policies for nuclear power, wind power and solar energy industry, the proportion of clean energy power generation will increase substantially.

Softer Solar Landings: Options to Avoid the Investment Tax Credit CliffGW Solar Institute
Federal tax policies have been an important driver for solar’s recent remarkable growth, but without action during the 114th Congress, the 30-percent investment tax credit (ITC) for solar and other clean energy technologies will expire at the end of 2016. If Congress were to allow this policy shock to occur, the economics of solar investments would worsen, reducing solar deployments in 2017 and beyond. Solar jobs would be lost, and solar cost reductions would be delayed. While these negative impacts of current law are undeniable, their magnitude remains an open question. This policy brief estimates the impacts that current law would have on the solar industry. It also formulates several
policy alternatives and estimates their effectiveness at mitigating the negative impacts of the investment tax credit cliff embedded within current law.
The usage of solar energy is a new phenomenon. It has various advantages over other traditional forms of energy.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The challenges of climate change and global warming continuously threaten the
world community. The Government of Jammu & Kashmir has taken note of the growing
recognition of impact of climate change at the local, national and global levels. The
Government recognizes the urgent need to tackle challenges that arise on account of these
impacts through integrated policy prescriptions and programmes aimed at mitigation of
impacts and adaptation to reduce vulnerability of systems. The Government is also
cognizant of the cross-cutting nature of impacts with enormous cost implications for
tackling them and that these costs could escalate if preventive action is not taken
immediately. Besides this MNRE has launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission
(JNNSM) under the brand 'Solar India' with the objective to establish India as a global
leader in solar energy, by creating the policy conditions for its diffusion across the country
as quickly as possible. The Mission has set a target of 20,000MWand stipulates
implementation and achievement of the target in 3 phases (first phase upto 2012-13,
second phase from 2013 to 2017 and the third phase from 2017 to 2022) for various
components, including grid connected solar power.
1.2 The successful implementation of the JNNSM requires the identification of
resources to overcome the financial, investment, technology, institutional and other related
barriers which confront solar power development in India. The penetration of solar power,
therefore, requires substantial support. The policy framework of the Mission will facilitate
the process of achieving grid parity by 2022.
1.3 To ramp up capacity of grid-connected solar power generation to 1000 MW
within three years – by 2013; an additional 3000 MW by 2017 through the mandatory use
of the renewable purchase obligation by utilities backed with a preferential tariff. This
capacity can be more than doubled – reaching 10,000MW installed power by 2017 and
20,000 MW or more by 2022 in the country. The transition could be appropriately up
scaled, based on availability of international finance and technology.

Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency Page 4
2. NEED FOR SOLAR POWER PROJECTS
2.1 Solar energy is environmentally friendly as it has zero emissions while generating
electricity or heat. The exhaustible reserves of fossil fuels and their volatile market prices
further contribute towards energy insecurity. Government recognizes the central role of
energy and the need to have a policy to promote efficient use of conventional energy
together with proactive establishment and promotion of sustained use of new and non-
conventional energy sources and applications to reduce emissions and other impacts of
climate change. Based on this “climate efficient initiative” the state has decided to promote
energy efficiency measures, adopt preventive management techniques and build capacities
for all the concerned stakeholders to contribute and sustain successful transitions to a more
energy efficient future duly emphasizing the local relevance of alternatives.
2.2 From an energy security perspective, solar is the most secure of all sources, since
it is abundantly available. Theoretically, a small fraction of the total incident solar energy
(if captured effectively) can meet the entire country’s power requirements. It is also clear
that given the large proportion of poor and energy un-served population in the country,
every effort needs to be made to exploit the relatively abundant sources of energy
available to the country. While, today, domestic coal based power generation is the
cheapest electricity source, future scenarios suggest that this could well change. Already,
faced with crippling electricity shortages, price of electricity traded internally, touched Rs
7 per unit for base loads and around Rs 8.50 per unit during peak periods. The situation
will also change, as the country moves towards imported coal to meet its energy demand.
The price of power will have to factor in the availability of coal in international markets
and the cost of developing import infrastructure. It is also evident that as the cost of
environmental degradation is factored into the mining of coal, as it must, the price of this
raw material will increase. In the situation of energy shortages, the country is increasing
the use of diesel-based electricity, which is both expensive – costs as high as Rs 15 per unit
- and polluting. It is in this situation the solar imperative is both urgent and feasible to
enable the country to meet long-term energy needs.
