ASSESSMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY POTENTIAL 19 th August, 2013 RSQ *167 SHRI V.P.SINGH BADNORE (a) whether any assessment has been made regarding the potential of grid fed solar energy prospects in Ladakh area; (b) and (c) which other State in the country has abundance of land for solar energy (Grid) that has been surveyed; the progress made in that field and the details of constraints being faced? THE MINISTER OF NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY (DR. FAROOQ ABDULLAH) (a),(b)&(c): A Statement is laid on the Table of the House. Statement Statement referred to in reply to parts (a), (b) & (c) of the Rajya Sabha Starred Question No. 167 on 19/08/2013. (a): The Government has initiated a comprehensive programme to augment solar radiation resource assessment in the country including Ladakh area. In Phase I of this programme, one Solar Radiation Monitoring Station has been established at Leh through Centre for Wind Technology, Chennai. The data from various stations is transmitted to a central server maintained at C WET and is made available to various stakeholders after carrying out quality checks. As per data recorded through one of such stations, the peak value of solar radiation at Leh reaches upto 7 kilowatt hour per day per square metre of area which is quite high as compared to other locations in the country. However, no assessment of the potential of grid fed solar energy in Ladakh area has been carried out taking into account availability of land area.

171 (b)&(c): As indicated by solar radiation data available for various parts of the country, several States, especially the Western States viz. Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and some parts of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, have very good potential of setting up grid connected solar power projects in the country. However, a comprehensive survey of land for setting up of solar projects, has not been carried out in any state.
