1 Energizing States: A Strategic Vision for U.S. India Cooperation September 20, 2017 Dr. Kar.keya Singh Deputy Director and Fellow Wadhwani Chair in U.S.- India Policy Studies CSIS ksingh@csis.org

2 U.S.- India State and Urban Ini/a/ve Purpose: To expand U.S.- India energy coopera4on by strengthening direct engagement with India s powerful states. promo.ng energy security and energy sector reform through direct engagement between U.S. and Indian subna.onal en..es; by establishing close, sustainable working rela.onships between Indian subna.onal officials, their U.S. counterparts, research ins.tu.ons, civil society organiza.ons working in the areas of governance and renewable energy, and the private sector.

3 India s Key Power Projects 24 x 7 Power for All Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) 175 GW of Renewable Energy by 2022 Objec&ve: to supply 24x7 quality, reliable and affordable power to all domes.c, commercial and industrial consumers by Ac.ons taken under the ini.a.ve include: Objec&ve: to improve the financial health of state distribu.on companies (DISCOMs) through four ini.a.ves: Objec&ve: The BJP- led government has revised the country s renewable energy targets and aims to install 175 GW by Distribu.on of na.onal target: 1) village electrifica.on 2) providing access to households 3) feeder separa.on 4) strengthening of sub- transmission and distribu.on network and 5) roll out of meters 1) improving opera.onal efficiencies; 2) reduc.on of cost of power; 3) reduc.on in interest cost of DISCOMs; and 4) enforcing financial discipline on DISCOMs through alignment with State finances. 1) Solar: 100 GW 2) Wind: 60 GW 3) Biomass: 10 GW 4) Small Hydro: 5 GW

4 Energized Indian States CSIS surveyed senior power sector ofoicials from 13 Indian states: Key Stakeholders: Secretary/Principal Secretary of Power Secretary of New & Renewable Energy Nodal Agencies Chairman or Managing Director of the State Genera.on, Transmission, or Distribu.on Companies Regulators Directors of Na.onal Research Ins.tu.ons Group of all 13 Indian States engaged by CSIS for the U.S.- India State and Urban Ini&a&ve

5 Assam Status of Projects Power for All: 53% UDAY: 25.09% State Energy Needs Formula.on of strategies and iden.fica.on of specific measures to be taken to curtail Transmission and Commercial losses Formula.on of policy for promo.on of private investment in renewable energy, specially solar energy, in Assam Designing of Power Purchase Agreements Principles of tariff fixa.on for private producers Incen.ves for private producers Provision of inputs on technology / best prac.ces for harnessing of biomass / solar / small hydel etc. resources of Assam

6 Haryana Status of Projects Power for All: 79% UDAY: 25.92% State Energy Needs Technologies needed: micro- hydel, biomass energy to deal with agricultural residue, smart power technologies for urban areas including piezoelectric and more efficient use of draught animal power Technical exper.se on grid- connected solar water pumps, DC off- grid appliances, research on use of sand for storing heat Capacity building assistance to establish an energy curriculum or educa.onal ins.tu.ons and develop partnerships with consumer advocacy groups for renewable energy technologies (par.cularly solar)

7 Rajasthan Status of Projects Power for All: 75% UDAY: 23.61% State Energy Needs Renewable energy integra.on into the grid/ thermal power plant flexibility and management of DISCOMs is a key focus of the state Need to demonstrate storage pilot Technologies that can help clean high- Sulphur content coal to be able to u.lize stranded assets Need to understand what to do with surplus power, par.cularly solar build- up (how to store, how to export, addi.onal ver.cals for the DISCOMs) Research opportuni.es with IIT Jodhpur on solar; state is also hotbed of off- grid/energy access technology deployment

8 Tamil Nadu Status of Projects Power for All: 100% UDAY: 14.53% State Energy Needs Want to learn from the experience of U.S. states on how to integrate renewables into the grid Training in best management prac.ces for energy officers in the state s various corpora.ons Assistance in semng up the Renewable Energy Management Center in Chennai Deployment of smart grids, energy storage technologies and concentrated solar thermal power

9 Telangana Status of Projects Power for All: 82% UDAY: 14.2% State Energy Needs Technologies and technical exper.se in thermal power plant flexibility and grid integra.on of renewables Interested in wind- solar hybrid Energy storage technologies including pilot projects to manage peak energy demand They want to be Best in Class for deployment and management of energy storage technologies Energy efficiency improvements to their exis.ng thermal power and hydro plants Interested in collec.ng feedback on their smart meter pilots Signatory to the Under 2 MoU

10 UGar Pradesh Status of Projects Power for All: 48% UDAY: 30.21% State Energy Needs Need strategies for integra.ng many mini- grids into the state s expanding central grid network. Looking for feedback on new draq solar rooqop policy (immediate) Technical and entrepreneurship training to build a workforce capable of dealing with new energy technology deployment. Interested in deploying or pilo.ng technologies that make the most of the state s agricultural residue and animal waste into energy

11 West Bengal Status of Projects Power for All: 99% UDAY: 30% State Energy Needs Want to be the East India Energy Hub Technologies and best prac.ces for berer use of West Bengal s coal reserves (including boiler efficiency improvements at power plant, fly- ash u.liza.on, and coal bed gasifica.on technologies) On solar, could use guidance on best prac.ces for procurement and capacity building on roll out of solar rooqop for urban areas as well as off- grid Interested in best management prac.ces and technologies to help integrate more renewables into the grid and in electricity transmission planning Want to set up an energy R&D hub in Kolkata Open to the idea of innova.on challenges that the state can design and sponsor Will be hos.ng an energy session at the next Bengal Business Investors Summit in Kolkata (January 2018)
