Total Reserves = 94125 Mega Watt Percentage % RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES India has one of the highest potentials for the effective use of renewable energy. Sourcewise Estimated Potential of Renewable Power in India as on 31.03.13 There is a significant potential in India for generation of power from renewable energy sources 60 50 40 52.2 The total potential for renewable power generation as on 31.03.13 is estimated at 94125 MW. 30 20 10 20.98 18.63 5.31 2.88 Wind power potential of 49130 MW (54.73%), SHP (small-hydro power) 15399 MW (17.15%), Biomass power 17,538 MW(19.54%) and 5000 MW (5.57%) from bagassebased cogeneration 0
RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES The total installed capacity of grid interactive renewable power, which was 24,914 MW as on 31.03.2012 had gone up to 28067 MW as on 31.03.2013 indicating growth of 12.66% during the period. Out of the total installed generation capacity of renewable power as on 31-03-2013,wind power accounted for about 67.88%, followed by small hydro power (12.94%)and Biomass power (12.83%).
RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES Other renewable energy technologies, including solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, small hydro, and biomass power are also spreading. Greater reliance on renewable energy sources offers enormous economic, social, and environmental benefits. The potential for power production from captive and fieldbased biomass resources, using technologies for distributed power generation, is currently assessed at 19500 MW including 3500 MW of exportable surplus power from bagassebased cogeneration in sugar mills.
The Indian Energy Sector is being administered & monitored by CCI, Ministry of Coal; CEA, Ministry of Power; Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas; Ministry of New and Renewable Energy; Nuclear Power Corporation of India, DAE. 7
More About Data Sources Each of the line Ministries/organizations collects, compiles and disseminates energy data pertaining to its own domain, and they are not the primary sources of data; The primary data sources are the production & distribution companies/organizations; The energy sector in India is largely dominated by state monopolies, at both central and state levels; State monopoly facilitates compilation of data, although data compilation, in both quantity & quality terms, is not satisfactory; Time-lag in data reporting from secondary sources is quite natural. 8
CSO is the nodal statistical organization of the Govt. of India under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation; It provides the necessary guidance in respect of developing concepts, definitions, methodologies on statistical matters to other Ministries/bodies of GOI and provincial governments. It also co-ordinates on statistical matters with International Bodies, on request; Energy data is obtained by CSO from the line Ministries, which are not the primary source of information; A Publication viz Energy Statistics is released every year on the web-site of the Ministry. 9
Legal Backing for Data Collection Legal/statutory backing facilitates data collection by making it binding on the producers and consumers of energy for supply of relevant information to the data collecting agencies; The Coal Controller is the Statistics Authority for Coal Statistics under the Collection of Statistics Act, 1953 and Rules framed there under. Besides, CC enjoys the legal authority under Coal Mines (Conservation and Development) Act 1974 and the Colliery Control Order 2000; The Central Electricity Authority generates and disseminates the Electricity Statistics under Electricity Act, 2003; No legal backing is available for generation of statistics pertaining to new and renewable energy sources. 10
Energy Statistics- A Publication Purpose: To meet the information needs of national and international policy makers, administrators and researchers concerned with the energy sector. It contains time series data relating to reserves, installed capacity, production, capacity utilization, availability, import, export, consumption, price indices and commodity balance of major sources energy in India. 11
Publication Coverage Sectors Covered: 1. Coal 2. Petroleum & Natural Gas, 3. Electricity 4. New & Renewable Energy. 5. Nuclear Energy Indicators Covered: 1. Production, 2. Consumption, 3. Import & Export, 4. Wholesale Price. 5. Est. Reserves 6. Estimated Potential 7. Capacity Generation 8. Energy Balance, and 9. Energy Efficiency Indicators. 12
Incompleteness of Energy consumption data; Unorganized coal production not fully captured; Inconsistency between energy consumption data of utilities generated through ASI and suppliers figures; Poor Energy Balance. 13
Future Concerns Increasing pressure of population and increasing use of energy in different sectors of the economy, as also the non-availability of complete energy data is an area of concern for India. About 60% of the projected growth in coal consumption is attributed to the increased demand of coal in the electricity sector, while the industrial sector accounts for most of the remaining increase; The use of coal for electricity generation in India is expected to increase by 2.2% per annum during 2002 25, thus requiring an additional 59000 MW of coal-fired capacity; Oil demand in India is expected to increase by 3.5% per annum during the same time. 14
