1 Analysis of Renewable Energy Scenario in Assorted Regions of India with Specific Evaluation of Maharashtra Sumant K. Deshpande 1, Dr. S. R. Mahajan 2, Dr. Mohan V. Buke 3 1 Asstt. Professor, Sandipani Tech. Campus Latur, sumant.sandoz@gmail.com 2 Principal, Hirasugar Institute of Technology Nidasoshi, Karnataka, 3 Principal Sandipani Tech. Campus Latur, ABSTRACT Renewable energy advances (RETs) have an inconceivable potential and have the upside of being ecologically maintainable. Table gives a point by point assessed potential for RET in India. India has proved as a major player in the recent international climate talks in Paris. On the world level, India reiterated its commitment towards clean energy and reducing carbon emissions. India s major force on renewable energy in the 2015 national budget, which set target four-fold rise in renewable energy targets to achieve 175 GW by This includes 100 GW solar, 60 GW wind, 10 GW biomass and 5 GW small hydropower capacities, supported by a substantial budgetary allocation. The existing generation capacity is dominated by conventional coal-fired thermal power (211 GW as of May, 2016, 60% of total capacity).however Maharashtra lags a mile behind the target because of wrong policies /absence of polices and inefficient mechanisms Keywords: Energy Conservation, Energy Scenario, Energy Parameters in India, Energy in Maharashtra INTRODUCTION Energy generation, utilization, preservation and optimization are critical for the financial advancement of a nation. The energy distribution is a part of the economy and in addition it itself comprises of parts, for example, energy supply and energy request collaborating with each other. Energy is required for all the monetary exercises. Most oil emergency moved the concentration of energy organizers towards renewable assets and energy protection. In any case, a noteworthy reason for climatic change and air contamination in India is utilization of fossil powers.. 799

could not achieve at its best rather even at a agreeable pace. 2.

2 Fig.1. Present Mix of Energy as per March 2015 Source MNRE, May 2015 It is seen from the data itself being the most solar pro region, India could not achieve at its best rather even at a agreeable pace. 2. Analysis of Statewide Installed Capacity of Grid Interactive Renewable Power From the MNRE recourses following are the tabulation In view of Future requirement, in 2030 the requirement shall be 200% level of The scope is extremely high Figure 3.

Maharashtra clearly lag in the solar power installation while Gugrat

even small hydro power projects needs more seriously when neighbor Karnataka

biomass power,waste to power especially municipal waste and Agriculture waste

5 Maharashtra clearly lag in the solar power installation while Gugrat Madhyapradesh,Andhra-Pradesh score more on it.even small hydro power projects needs more seriously when neighbor Karnataka has done it in very aggressive way.biomass power,waste to power especially municipal waste and Agriculture waste needs a policy structure as to go ahead in. 3.

6 3.2 Policy status regarding Renewable Energy As per the MNRE 2015,the review has been taken to understand the pace of growth and found as follows 13 States have come out with Solar Policy supporting grid Andhra Pradesh Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka Kerala, Manipur, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. SERCs of 20 States/UTs have notified regulations for net metering/feed-in-tariff mechanism. Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Andaman & Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep, Pondicherry, Goa, UP, Rajasthan and Odisha. Maharashtra has yet not come up clear strategy and that is the point where the it call for a major policy reform.also this is the point where the survey turns efficiently towards more core reasons to find the reasons. The Project cost is also Lucrative hence Govt has to take a call. Table 3. Capital Cost of Power Projects as of Source: Central electricity regulatory commission. This clears Fact that the Prices especially for solar Power Project are quite on Decaling side. The thermal Power has double the capital cost and almost double losses hence state govt is bound to take a clear decision to switch from Thermal power to solar power at earliest. 804

7 4 Barriers to Renewable Expansion In India Table 4 A. Policy and regulatory barriers: Absence of unique comprehensive policy statement for RE in the country. Policies had issued as and when necessary to facilitate the growth of specific RETs. Further, the plans for development of RE do not match up to these policies. RE capacity addition targeted by MNRE and the capacity addition planned under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission(JNNSM), also known as Solar India, is inadequate to meet the target for RE generation mandated under the National Action Plan on Climate Change(NAPCC).For example In Madhya pradesh govt Provides additional subsidy to the distribution utilities towards wheeling 4% of the energy injected at the rate of prevailing energy charges for the user for encouraging RE for 5 years only. In Maharashtra the for solar Power Projects, Tariff is only determined through competitive bedding, this brings uncertainty at the Project level itself hence B. Provision of Accelerated Depreciation to wind developers: Wind power growth has hinged on the80% accelerated tax Depreciation that is provided by the GoI. In view of this, a bulk wind power capacity has been set up on the balance sheets of existing companies which wanted to save income tax. This has created the unwanted projects to come up which do not operate at the efficiency expected also some mills are set on low wind speed zone. C. Policy Confusion and Lack of Promotions of RE to investors in Rural Area. The present scenario indicates a large potential is available but the policy framework is not clearly understood by the high approving authorities. The bankers also show resistance to offer the finances in light of uncertainty in the policy. The states are not proffering summits /Platform for the investors. In marathwada, The solar intensity is quite high but barring one or two solar power Projects, No big /Medium enterprise has initiated any interest in the direction D. No /Minimal support for Services of RE appliances One of the fact, that the renewable energy appliances are not so famous are the absence of service support in rural areas. Even solar Lalten and PV modules are not got repaired in the areas which brings apprehension. 805

9 3.Special incentives provision for biogas and biomass plants for rural Panchayat /Household.Pilot Project can be Taken. 4. Appointing Energy managers and auditors for expansion program 5. Establishing skill for maintaining RE equipment 6. Target to districts for own solar power.munciple waste to energy Projects 6 Summery of the Paper The Analysis shows following observations, 1. There is ample potential for solar, biogas biomass energy in Maharashtra. Entire Maharashtra can be supplied with renewable source alone. 2. The current State and Central Govt Policies are not clear /Effective /Attractive and Pro for installing that is the reason Maharashtra Lags in the sector like solar energy, Biogas etc. While it leads in Wind because of policy benefit,but the overall efficiency is too low 3. The solar pumps for agriculture needs special attentions as solar Pump can fetch power independence.
