In order to harness full potential the state needs hugeinvestment.
In addition the state also encourages investment in themanufacturing of RE products. In the recent past Rs 400
crore (USD 80 mn) have been invested in the state only inthe SPV manufacturing sector. Some investments havealso come in the green Building sector and LEDmanufacturing units.
National Action Plan on climate change and National SolarMission will open up many more new investment areas inthe state of West Bengal.

Ministry of Power, Government of India has alsoannounced DDG scheme for Remote Rural India.Sundarban area of West Bengal is ideally suited for suchscheme.
The State has identified 44 nos. of remote villages inSundarban where 24 hours electricity will be available oncommercial basis through DDG mode. Rural ElectrificationCorporation has agreed in principle to support the project.
Technology : Solar PV, Biomass and Bio Diesel.
Renewable Energy could play a major role in India and inthe State of West Bengal since West Bengal is 97%dependent on coal based thermal generation.
