The Ex-President’s Message: Independence • Cut down energy losses • Utilize technologies to provide a diverse supply of environmentally friendly energy • “We must achieve Energy Independence by 2030”, including a cut down in ALL sectors • Increase the power generated through renewable energy sources from 5% to 25% • This is the nation’s “first and highest priority” Ex-President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (Rocket Scientist)
The Electricity Act, 2003 : Enabling provisions • Section 86(1)(e) : Specify Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), grid connectivity • Section 61(h) : Tariff regulations to be guided by promotion of renewable energy sources • Section 3 : National Electricity Policy, Tariff Policy and Plan • Section 4 : National Policy permitting stand alone systems including renewable sources of energy for rural areas
The Electricity Act, 2003: Section 86(1) (e) The State Commission shall discharge the following functions, namely: “promote cogeneration and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any person, and also specify, for purchase of electricity from such sources, a percentage of the total consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution licensee;”
The Electricity Act, 2003: Section 61(h) The Appropriate Commission shall subject to the provisions of this Act, specify the terms and conditions for the determination of tariff, and in doing so, shall be guided by the following, namely: (h) the promotion of co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy
National Electricity Policy: 2005 • Urgent need for promotion of non-conventional and renewable sources of energy. • Efforts need to be made to reduce the capital cost of such projects. • Adequate promotional measures would have to be taken for development of technologies and sustained growth of these sources. • SERCs to provide suitable measures for connectivity with grid and fix percentage of purchase from Renewable sources. • Progressively such share of electricity need to be increased.
Tariff Policy:2006 • Appropriate Commission shall fix RPO and SERCs shall fix tariff. • In future Discoms to procure Renewable Energy through competitive bidding within suppliers offering same type of RE. • In long-term, RE technologies need to compete with all other sources in terms of full costs.
National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), 2008 National level target for RE Purchase • 5% of total grid purchase in 2010, to be increased by 1% each year for 10 years: 15% by 2020. • SERCs may set higher target. Appropriate authorities may issue certificates that procure RE in excess of the national standard. • Such certificates may be tradable, to enable utilities falling short to meet their RPO. • RE generation capacity needed: From 25000 to 45000 MW by 2015.
National Solar Mission, 2009 MW • Mission aims to achieve grid tariff parity by 2022 through Bundling of solar power with un-allocated quota of central stations by NVVNL for resale to utilities • To deploy 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas by 2022 • Large scale utilization • R&D, Local manufacturing • In addition,100 MW capacity distributed small grid connected power plants during Phase - 1.
RE Development in India Policy and regulatory intervention is essential to promote renewable energy
Various types of Renewable Energy • Wind • On shore • Off shore • Solar • Solar PV (Photo Voltaic, Concentrated PhotoVoltaic) • Solar Thermal (Solar Concentrated, Parabolic trough/dish, Fresnel collector, Heliostat & Solar Tower receiver, Solar updraft receiver) • Small Hydel (upto 25 MW) • Biomass • Bagasse (the dry fibrous waste that is left after sugarcane has been processed) • rice husk, cotton stalk, mustard stalk, groundnut shell, coconut fronds, waste cotton stalks, roots of trees, cane trash, poultry litter etc.) • Co - generation • Municipal Solid waste • Geo -Thermal • Hydro kinetics • Tidal power • Wave technology

Criteria for Site Selection SITE SELECTION – PLAIN TERRAINS SITE SELECTION – HILLY TERRAINS • High annual average Wind Speed ( > 7 m/sec.) • Altitude of the proposed site. • Nature of Ground (soil for proper foundation / civil work ). • Favorable environmental condition to prevent corrosion & not prone to cyclone. • Availability of electrical infrastructure for evacuation of electricity generated . 2.5 D
Solar in India : Potential & Prospects • India receives the highest global solar radiation on a horizontal surface. According to solar energy experts, India has considerable scope for solar energy production. India is bestowed with solar irradiation ranging from 4-7 kWh/ sq. m/ day across the country. • The desert areas in India have the solar radiation required for CSP(concentrating solar power technology) production. A 60 km x 60 km area can produce 1,00,000 MW of power. India has a desert area of 2,08,110 Sq Kms in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Even if India uses only 15,000 Sq. Kms of the desert, it can produce 3,00,000 MW of power. • Government of India is currently envisaging large-scale expansion of solar power capacity by 2022.
Tidal energy & India Long coastline offers huge potential. Identified tidal power potential: 9000 MW Need to be utilized with hydel power plants. Biomass India predominantly agricultural country. Annual production of agro-forest and processing residues: 350 million tons. Power generation potential > 22,000 MW Advantages: • Decentralized generation: close to rural load centers. • Technology reasonably well developed • Environment friendly: No net CO2 No net CO2 emissions
Geothermal energy & India • Yet to be tapped . • Potential capacity over 10000 MW . • Puga valley in Ladakh has an experimental 1 KW generator in geothermal field . • North-western Himalayas & Western coast are considered Geothermal areas.

Need for REC Mechanism • RE Sources Not evenly distributed across India • Inhibits the SERCs of potential deficit states from high RPO • Potential rich states • Already set higher RPO, still avenues left for new plants • Very high cost of generation from RE sources (discourages local DISCOM to purchase beyond RPO) • REC to address the mismatch between availability of RE sources and the requirement of RPO
