Renewable Energy Scenario in India At a
GlanceAs on 31 March 2007

• The cumulative grid-interactive power generating
  capacity using renewable energy sources was about
• Wind energy 6315 MW
• Small Hydropower 1905 MW
• Bio-power 1152 MW

4
Contd..

• Renewable energy power generation systems
  constitute about 7 of the total installed
  power-generating capacity in the country

5
Contd..

• About 5923 MW of capacity has been added since
  the beginning of the tenth Five-year plan against
  a target of 3074 MW

6
Contd..

• About 1201 MW of installed capacity was added
  during 2006/07 alone.
• Of this maximum capacity addition came from the
  installation of
• Wind turbines 933MW
• Biopower 199 MW
• Small Hydropower 69 MW

7
Contd..

• Gross wind power potential has been assessed at
  45000 MW.
• However, the technical potential is estimated at
  about 13390 MW, assuming 20 grid generation,
  which is expected to go up with the augmentation
  of grid capacity in potential states.

8
Contd..

• Wind turbine units valued at about 250 million
  were exported to the international markets during
  2006-07.

9
Contd..

• The cumulative installed capacity for small
  hydropower projects (upto 25MW), as on 31 March
  2007, was 1905 MW.

10
Contd..

• A total of 4400 potential sites have been
  identified, with an aggregate capacity of 10500
  MW, for setting up small hydropower projects
  (upto 25 MW) in the country.

11
Contd..

• The current potential of conversion of surplus
  agro and forestry residues to energy is estimated
  to be about 16000 MWe and the estimated potential
  for bagasse-based cogeneration in sugar mills is
  estimated to be about 5000 MWe.

12
Contd..

• The cumulative installed capacity of
  grid-interactive biomass power generation and
  bagase cogeneration was 1212.4 MW.
• Installed capacity of biomass gasifier for
  distributed power generated was about 75.85 MW

13
Contd..

• The installed solar thermal collector area as on
  31 Jan 2007 was 1.66 million m2.
• The reassessed gross potential for solar thermal
  collectors is 140 million m2.
• About 0.66 million m2 of solar thermal collectors
  were installed during 2006/07.

14
Contd..

• The potential for energy recovery from urban
  waste is estimated at 2550 MWe and from
  industrial waste, at about 1287 MWe.

15
Contd..

• Under the MNRE demonstration programme, 54,659
  solar street lighting systems, 301603
  home-lighting systems, and 463058 solar lanterns
  have been deployed in the country (as on 31 Jan
  2007)

16
Contd..

• Under the NBMMP (National Biogas and Manure
  Management Programme) of the MNRE, about 3.89
  million biogas plants have been installed in the
  country.

17
Contd..

• As on 31 Jan 2007, 2501 villages and 830 remote
  hamlets have been electrified through the RVE
  (Remote Electricification) Programme of MNRE.

18
Contd..

• In line with the Central Governments plans for
  accelerated economic development of the north
  eastern region, about 262 remote villages /
  hamlets under the RVE programme have been
  electrified.
• In addition, about 1246 family-type biogas plants
  have been installed as on 31 Jan 2006.

19
Contd..

• During the 11th Five-year Plan period (2007-12),
  it is expected that atleast 10 of the installed
  capacity in the country (with 4-5) share in
  electricity mix) will come from renewable energy,
  that is, of the 70000 MW capacity addition
  planned during this period, about 14500 MW (20)
  is proposed to be supplied by renewable energy
  resources.

Renewable energy targets for the 10th 11th Five
Year plans and achievements during the Tenth Plan
period
21
Proposed Energy Policy of Karnataka

• Setting up dedicated SEZs
• Increasing generation capacity of renewable
  energy by 3,392 MW by 2012 and 6050 MW by 2018
• Planned addition of 3392 MW by 2012 is expected
  to bring investments of about Rs 22341 Crore

22
Proposed Energy Policy of Karnataka Contd..

• Addition of 6050 MW by 2018 will fetch
  investments of Rs 46250 crore
• Setting up single window clearance mechanism
  for quick approvals and sanctions.
• Exemption from entry tax on generation equipment.
