Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Faced by pressures to increase energy supply as pre-requisite for sustained economic growth and secured social well-being, the Government of India seeks to harness all available energy sources for power generation. By 2012, the Indian Government envisions a 10% contribution of renewable energy sources to power generation out of which 7% has been achieved so far (Planning Commission, Government of India 2006). Looking at the geographical distribution of renewable energy deployment in India a bias towards certain Indian states is apparent. Since this spatial disparity cannot be attributed to the availability of natural resources, questions about driving factors and conditions for private participation in the renewable energy sector arise. This article aims to look closer at the contextual conditions determining private sector participation in renewable energy deployment. As for an empirical background, the wind sector in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala is analysed. The central argument put forward states that mono-theoretical approaches are not sufficient to explain contextual determinants for private sector engagement. Thus integrating insights from Political Sciences and Relational Economic Geography will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of determinants and drivers for private sector participation in renewable energy deployment.
