The International Trade Administration, under the United States Department of Commerce, has recommended levying a countervailing duty against wind energy equipment manufacturers from India. The recent steps are a stark reminder of Obama era fight in the World Trade Organisation between India and the United States to protect their local renewable energy industries. With the Joe Biden-led Democrats now in office, the US clean energy lobby appears to be back in action. According a notice by the Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration agency said, “The Department of Commerce preliminarily determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of utility scale wind towers (wind towers) from India. The period of investigation is April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2020.”
