US blocks India’s solar power plan
http://climatenewsnetwork.net/us-blocks-indias-solar-power-plan/February 26, 2016, by Alex Kirby
LONDON, 27 February, 2016 – India has been told that it cannot go ahead as planned with its ambitious plan for a huge expansion of its renewable energy sector, because it seeks to provide work for Indian people. The case against India was brought by the US.
The ruling, by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), says India’s National Solar Mission ? which would create local jobs, while bringing electricity to millions of people ? must be changed because it includes a domestic content clause requiring part of the solar cells to be produced nationally.
