  1. Renewable Energy Development in India Dr. P C Maithani Adviser Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

  2. India has low per capita energy and electricity consumption, and also CO2 emission Source: IEA 2017

  3. India’s commercial energy demand is on the rise Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook 2017

  4. Bright future for Renewables Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook 2017

  5. India’s Energy Challenge Creating pan-India market for renewables Growing electricity demand India’s INDCs under Climate Change seeks 40% of electric installed capacity by non-fossil fuel by 2030 India is yet to achieve universal electricity Access India is dependent on oil imports for 80% of its demand

  6. Share of Renewable Energy Installed capacity : 332 GW as on 31 October 2017

  7. Inter–se share of Renewables as on 31 October 2017 Installed capacity : 61 GW

  8. Share of Renewable Energy in Electricity Mix

  9. Renewable Energy in the legal Context • India has a bicameral parliamentary system - Parliament has supreme law- making powers • The Concurrent list which contains subjects under the shared purview of the Union and State governments • Electricity is a concurrent subject (Entry 38 in concurrent list) • The sub-State level, i.e. Municipal Corporations, Municipalities or Panchayats.

  10. Policy Framework for Renewables • Public Private Partnerships - Framework for Participation • Fiscal and other support for Investors to keep the tariffs affordable • Move towards competitively determined tariffs in Solar and wind • Develop eco-system for decentralized and off-grid solutions for improved energy access • Strengthen and incentivise Intra State and Inter State transmission infrastructure • Progressive focus on improving generation efficiencies • Strengthen Institutional framework

  11. Institutional Structure Renewable Energy Development in India Ministry of New and Renewable Energy State nodal agencies for renewable energy development • National Institutes for Solar, Wind, and Bio Energy • Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd • Alternate Hydro Energy Centre (AHEC) for small hydro Central & State Electricity Regulatory Commissions Other Partners Educational Institutions Non Profit Organizations & NGOs Surya Mitra, Renewable Energy Service Companies (RESCO) -Developers, Aggregators etc. Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) Research & Development Institutions Banking & Financial Institutions

  12. Role of Policy and Regulation in Renewables Growth Preferential Tariffs by SERCs/Price discovery Renewable Energy development in India has been aided by strong policy and regulatory backing State Renewable Energy Policies

  13. Mission 175 GW by 2022 India made a commitment in Paris Climate Agreement to reduce emission intensity of the economy and for having at least 40 % electric power installed capacity from clean energy sources by the year 2030

  14. National Solar Mission (NSM) was launched on 11th January, 2010. • Mission targets : • 20GW grid connected solar power by 2022; • 2GW off-grid solar applications including 20 million solar lights by 2022; • 20 million sq. m. solar thermal collector area; • to create favourable conditions for developing solar manufacturing capability in the country; and • support R&D and capacity building activities to achieve grid parity by 2022. • In June 2015 the targets were scaled up to 100 GW by 2022 • Broadly consists of 40 GW Grid connected Rooftop and 60 GW large and medium size land based solar power projects. National Solar Mission (NSM)

  15. Growth of Solar Capacity in India The sector has been registering exponential growth

  16. Year-wise lowest solar tariff in (Rs./kWh)

  17. Factors leading to reduction in solar tariffs

  18. Wind Power • Increased competitiveness • Strong manufacturing base in India • Wind turbines becoming stronger, higher and with better CUF • Forecasting and Scheduling Regulations getting in shape

  19. Small Hydro Power • Less than 25 MW • Potential : 21 GW from 7100 sites • Achievement 4.4 GW

  20. Tasks in Hand • Handling Intermittency • Integration of renewables in Grid • Domestic Manufacturing • Innovation & Research and Development • Ensure stability of the grid infrastructure • Development of Smart Grid for renewable power

  21. Thank You
