1. Potential and Opportunity for Development of Power Generation Projects from Solar, Wind, Biomass, Lignite, Petroleum and Natural Gas ***Presentation to Work shop on Solar Energy at IIT Rajasthanon 22nd April .2010***

2. Energy Resource covered in this presentation … Western Rajasthan – Potential Energy Zone Rajasthan – Preferred State for Solar Energy Power Scenario Solar Power Potential in Rajasthan Growth of Wind and Biomass Energy Solar Power Projects- Current Status State initiatives to Boost Solar Power Generation Crude oil discovery in Rajasthan Hydrocarbon production development in Rajasthan Key investors and developers Advantages – Rajasthan Hybrid and Integration of Solar Energy with Natural Gas

4. Rajasthan – Preferred State for Solar Energy The state in its western part blessed with abundant natural resource i.e. optimum sunshine and wind With more than 325 days of sunshine every year The state has the highest solar radiation in the country Jodhpur, popularly known as the SUN CITY of India Assured power evacuation arrangements in place. Setting up 400 / 220 / 132 KV network for solar and wind energy based power plants in progress. Sparsely populated. Revenue land is available in abundance Land is allocated at reserve price under G O R Policy Density of population – 165 per sq. km

6. Update Power Scenario in Rajasthan Installed Power Plant Capacity - 7950 MW Installed Renewable Capacity - 1160 MW (14.8%) included in 7950 MW Capacity addition plan for remaining period of 11th Five year plan (2010-2012) Conventional sources 4465 MW Renewable sources 1200 MW Capacity addition during 12th Five year plan (2012-2017) Projects in progress 5730 MW Projects approved in principle 4780 MW Renewable Energy 3000 MW

7. Solar Power Potential in Rajasthan Solar Irradiance (6.0–7.0 kWh/sq.m/day) DNI in the range of 2100 - 2260W/M2/Year >325 number yearly Sunny days in a year Abundant govt. land. Availability is assured by GOR Land is flat and has < 1 degree slope Land is allocated at reserve price by GOR under Policy Immense solar energy potential Rajasthan has around 208,110 Sq.km of desert land (60% of total area) Land required for 100,000 MW- 60 km x 60 km = 3600 sq.km (i.e. <2% of desert land) 15,000 sq. km desert and flat land is sufficient to meet Energy Demand of the country using Solar Energy for power generation

8. Solar Power Potential in Rajasthan (CSP)

12. Solar Power Potential is Comparable Arid and semi arid region in Western Rajasthan is identical and comparable with potential solar zone in California, Spain and South Africa in terms of availability of land resources , solar radiation and no of Sun days. Exploitation of Solar energy generation will meet growing energy needs of the State resulting to sustainable development in Power Sector

13. Growth of Wind and Biomass Energy

14. Solar Power Projects- Current Status To support National Solar Mission, State approved 11 Solar Power Projects of 66 MW capacity. Land and Water allotment already done. Power Evacuation system approved. Projects migrated to NSM 2012In addition to this Two additional Solar Power Projects of 5 MW each are progressing under GBI scheme of MNRE.

15. Regulatory and State Support RERC – RRECL Regulations and efforts for promotion of Solar Energy Clear mandate on providing grid connectivity by State Transmission Utility. No Grid connectivity charges for Solar Power Project sanctioned under State RPO. Evacuation system from the Solar Projects to be laid by State Transmission Utility. Draft Tariff Regulation order issued RREC has invited EOI for setting up 1 MW each upto20 MW SPV Plant in Rajasthan under NSM

16. State Initiatives to Boost Solar Power Generation Overwhelming response from Solar Power Producers Solar Projects of 8110 MW Capacity already Registered. More than 265 applications by Solar Power Producers, investors and new entrepreneurs registered with RRECL 20,000 Hectares Land Identified and reserved in Land Bank available with RRECL Adequate power evacuation system Dedicated 400 kV network in Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner assured by GOR Earmarked Canal Water for power plants. Provision of open access for third party sale

37. Advantages - Rajasthan Raj Govt. Leader in RE RE Policies Issued in 1999, 2003 & 2004 Issue of Separate Biomass, Wind & Solar Policies in February-March 2010. SP Plant in Desert area of Raj Max. Irradiation in India Max. Energy output Best Return on investment Transmission Infra Structure in Desert Area Only state with Six 400 kV GSS Associated 400 kV Trans. lines and number of 220 kV and 132 kV GSS available

38. Advantages - Rajasthan (cont.) Climatic Conditions Dry and Calm No Sea Cyclone No Sea Water Corrosion to modules , its frame and outdoor equipments Lowest Earthquake Seismic Intensity Zone (Z-2) Long Life of System- Assured 25 years Benefit. Industrial Atmosphere Known for peaceful , cordial, cultured behavior Good Law and Order situation Availability of labor Skilled and un skilled at low cost

39. Advantages - Rajasthan (cont.) Ease in Selection of Land Govt. Land Bank in 8 districts available with RREC Government Land Allotment at 10% DLC Rate Water Availability for Thermal CSP From Raj Canal within few km. Connectivity to SP Plant Direct to 132/33 kV or 220/132/33 kV RVPN GSS Assured 24 Hrs Grid Availability to SPP Supported With Reliable and Stable Network of Transmission System

40. Advantages - Rajasthan (cont.) RERC Among First in India in framing RE Regulations and tariff orders First in India Issued RPO to Discoms for Solar Power in 2008 RREC Single Window Clearance for projects SP Producer to interact with RREC for land allotment , Power Evacuation , Water allocation, Allocation of plant capacity, PPA etc Won INDIA POWER Award-2009 in Nov. 2009 Won IEEMA Power Award-2009 in Feb 2009 Investment in the state as assured for viable returns

41. Concept for Hybrid and Integration with Natural Gas This concept will place these projects comparable with base load station The energy cost will be affordable to distribution companies. ISCC concept will enhance efficiency and increase capacity utilization to > 90% Meet growing energy demand in the state on long term and life extension in operation.

44. Development of Mathania Project Availability of optimum solar potential, Water from Indira Gandhi Canal, Transmission system for power evacuation, abundant flat land with < 1 degree slope around Jodhpur and registration of applications worth 8000 MW Solar Projects, Jodhpur become a strong candidate justifying laying the gas pipeline for integration and implementation of ISCC Project at Mathania.
