Lesson-2: Tackling Intermittence 16 1. Regional Smart
Supergrids can enable us to share renewable resources over a wide

Lesson-3: Tackling High Costs Give infrastructure status to RE
projects Allows longer term lending by banks Allows renewable
energy companies to raise public money through long-term bonds
Allows enhanced tax credits Establish replenishable Risk Guarantee
Fund Assures generators/ distributors for the returns Should be
simple to operate and located conveniently In-built mechanism for
quantitative and qualitative check Build capacity of regulators To
prescribe right amount and right combination of incentives (e.g.
FiTs in combination of RECs) Create a large public R&D Fund
