The government of India will come out with (at least its first instalment of) green hydrogen policy document today (Thursday, February 17), Union Power Minister R K Singh has told reporters.
Here is a video of his interactions with reporters, as provided by Economic Times.
The policy will offer 'open access', free transmission and storage of electricity that is to be used in electrolysers, the Business Line newspaper reports, quoting the minister.
The report says: "The government will notify first part of the National Hydrogen Policy this week to promote manufacturing of green hydrogen, under which any entity can set up a renewable energy (RE) capacity anywhere in the country and the government will provide the open access, free storage for 30 days and free transmission if the facility is set up before 2025.
The first part of Green Hydrogen Policy will come out tomorrow (Thursday) or day after. For manufacturing green hydrogen, we will give the liberty to the entities that they can set up RE capacity anywhere in India by themselves or through a developer. The government will provide them open access, banking (energy storage with Discom) for 30 days, and free transmission if that capacity is set up before 2025. They can produce green hydrogen or green ammonia.”
