|April 29, 2025
SIGNALLING the centre's strong push towards clean energy adoption, the Ministry of Power has revised the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) target for Tamil Nadu to 33.01% for the financial year 2025-26, marking a jump from last year's target of 29.91%.
However, the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) has failed to meet the previous year's RPO target, as it managed to achieve only around 26% in FY 2024-25, sources said. According to officials, the final figure will be confirmed after an audit.
