1 Development and Financing of Renewable Energy Projects in India A Perspective By K.S. Popli Director (Technical) Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited New Delhi ( India )

2 World primary energy consumption World primary energy consumption fell by 1.1% in 2009 first time since 1982 and consumption of coal was the highest since 1970 Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy

3 Proven Oil Reserves Oil reserves in Asia-Pacific Region are the lowest at 3.5% and highest in the Middle-East at 57% Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy

4 Proved natural gas reserves Natural Gas reserves in Asia-Pacific Region are only 8.7% with highest reserves in Middle East at 40% Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy

5 Proved coal reserves Coal reserves in Asia-Pacific Region is 32% Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy

6 Installed Power Capacity - India Total Installed Capacity : 1,71,926 MW GDP Growth : 8% Energy Growth : 6% Captive Capacity : 19.5 GW Per Capita consumption : 730 units Hydro 22% Nuclear 3% Renewables 11% Thermal 64% Thermal MW Hydro MW Renewable MW Nuclear 4780 MW As on February, 2011

7 Coal production Coal consumption Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy

8 Issues and Challenges GDP Growth of 8-9 % To maintain this growth, we require similar growth in availability of power Present power mix dominated by coal based power plants with over 65% share It is expected that Coal shall remain the mainstay in India s power mix in the coming years

9 Power Sector suffering from huge inefficiencies More than 50% ATC losses Inadequate generation capacity Inadequate transmission and distribution network Lower realisation by SEBs. Therefore, need for reforms in Power Sector brought in by Electricity Act, 2003 Generation sector de-licensed Non-discriminatory provision for use of transmission lines and distribution system Captive users can access grid through open access State transmission utilities to charge for open access and include surcharges for wheeling and cross subsidies

10 Power Market and Power Trading Electricity Act created a new Industry in India i.e., Power Trading CERCs and SERCs entrusted with the responsibility of promoting power market License required for entering into trading business More than 30 licensed traders and 2 functional power exchanges Current share of power being traded is 9% of total power generated

11 National Electricity Policy & Tariff Policy SERCs to provide suitable measures for grid connectivity to RE projects Specify percentage of total consumption from such Renewable sources in the area of distribution licensee (RPO) Preferential tariffs to be determined for Renewable energy technologies on cost-plus approach till the time they can compete with conventional power

12 Challenge for sustainable growth GHG Emissions India is 4 th largest GHG emitter In the Indian context, 40% contribution in the emissions is from the Power Sector (coal based power plants) To reduce GHG emissions and address global concerns on climate change with the GDP growth, Government of India announced the National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC)

13 National Action Plan on Climate Change Outlines India s strategy to meet the challenge of Climate Change Eight National Missions, form the core of the National Action Plan, representing multi-pronged, long term and integrate strategies for achieving key goals in the context of climate change. National Solar Mission National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency National Mission on Sustainable Habitat National Water Mission National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Eco-system National Mission for a Green India National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change

14 National Action Plan on Climate Change ( NAPCC )

15 Thrust on RE in NAPCC National Action Plan for Climate Change envisages 4% contribution by Renewable Energy in the Indian power mix by 2010, to be increased by 1% every year to reach 15% by 2020 This would require cumulative installed RE capacity of more than 100 GW to meet the 15% RPO target

16 RE Sector in India: Potential and Achievements [As on ] Sector Appx. Potential (MW) Installed Capacity (MW) Wind Small Hydro (upto 25MW) Bagasse Cogeneration Biomass Waste to Energy Solar Power Total
