The areas of discussion was

1) Generating more power by various means.
2) Government support for Renewable energy and Enterprenuers
3) Current Problems with Power shortages, (like T&D losses in different states).

The board provided lots of data, which was very useful, it thought i would share.

For all information on Renewable energy development in Karnataka visit www.mnre.gov.in they suggest that information on customs, government subsidy, excise, income tax etc are available in this website.

They also spoke about important topic based on "PUNE" model, which involves load sharing, invloves buying power from local consumers running generators in diesel etc etc.
