projects commission to the respective geographical ESCOM in which the project is located at the
tariff determined by KERC under a long term power purchase agreement
 Target for wind power capacity addition by 2014 will be 4337MW
 The barren government lands, reserved as per industrial planning for industrial use at declared
renewable energy sites. 10% of such lands will be kept at the disposal at KREDL for developing
the land to set up the renewable energy power projects
 The identified revenue private and forest lands will be developed by KREDL to facilitate setting
up of various renewable energy projects in an efficient manner
 Various statutory clearances that are essential for the development and commissioning of the
renewable energy project will be dealt by the KREDL with the concerned department and

chairman will provide single window clearances for developing the renewable energy source
power plant
 Respective renewable energy project developer will bear the cost of transmission lines from the
project site to the substation as per grid norms
 Wheeling charges @ 5% will be applicable subject to the KERC norms

use purpose will be allowed
 Revised value added tax on various renewable energy equipment and instruments
 Letter of credit to the developer for realizing payment in scheduled period for the renewable
energy power sold to the ESCOM
 To avoid locking of huge capacities the wind power project allotment will be restricted to 59
MW at a given area each time. The government waste land in windy location identified for
industrial use development will be offer to set up wind projects
