Power Growth Perspective in India

MNRE

Electricity demand growing @ 8% annually Capacity addition of about 130,000 MW required in the next 10 years Challenge is to meet the energy needs in a sustainable manner

GRID INTERACTIVE RENEWABLE POWER

MNRE

The Government aims at 10-12 percent of the grid interactive power generation installed capacity from renewable by the end of the 11th Plan (2007-2012) Deployment of renewable power during the 10th plan has made it the second largest source after conventional power. A target of 14,000 MW capacity addition has been planned for the 11th Plan (2007-08 to 2011-12).

Wind Power Technology

MNRE

Wind Energy - What is it? Wind is the natural movement of air across the land or sea. Wind is caused by uneven heating and cooling of the earth's surface and by the earth's rotation. Land and water areas absorb and release different amount of heat received from the sun. As warm air rises, cooler air rushes in to take its place, causing local winds. The rotation of the earth changes the direction of the flow of air.

Limitations of Wind Energy

Can be located only where strong and dependable winds are available. Wind is intermittent and hence infirm power Wind towers and blades subject to damage from very high wind and lightning Electricity produced by wind sometimes fluctuate in voltage and power factor

Wind Resource in India

Winds in India influenced by Strong South-West Summer Monsoon (April-September) Weaker North-East Winter Monsoon 1150 wind monitoring stations in 32 States/UTs established. Seven handbooks on Wind Energy Resource States with high potential Andhra Pradesh Gujarat Karnataka Kerala M.P. Maharashtra Rajasthan Tamil Nadu 216 sites with annual average wind power density > 200 Watts/m2 A Wind Atlas for India using models like WAsP and KAMM is under finalisation.

FISCAL INCENTIVES
MNRE

Accelerated depreciation (80%) in first year Income Tax Holiday under section 80 1A (common for all infrastructure projects) Sales tax, excise duty reliefs Concessional import duty on specified parts and components IREDA provides loan for commercial wind power projects Preferential tariff by State utilities

MNRE POLICY GUIDELINES

PRE-ELECTRICITY ACT 2003
MNRE

Guidelines issued to States in 1993-94 & 1994-95 Power Purchase rate @Rs.2.25/unit (1994-95 base year) escalation @ 5% Wheeling and banking facilities for one year at nominal charges Permission for third party sale to any unit anywhere in the state

Regulatory Framework
MNRE

The Electricity Act-2003 Section 86(i)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

Regulatory Framework
MNRE

As per National Electricity Act-2003, state regulators to specify a minimum percentage of power to be purchased from renewable sources. RPOs have been announced by major states As per National Tariff Policy-2005, state regulators to provide preferential tariff for renewable power. Tariff rates offered in the range from Rs. 3.00 to Rs. 4.58/kwh (7-10 US cents/kwh) The purchase of renewable power in the near term would be based on competitive bidding within each renewable resource and in the medium term within all renewables. In the long term, however, would need to compete with conventional power.
