    Renewable Energy in India: Status and Future Prospects

    the time is running outsoon, there will be nothing left to burn on earth but earth itself

    Guided By: Prof. Joshi

    ENERGY IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW


    India consumes 3.7% of the worlds commercial energy making it the 5th largest consumer of energy globally. Total installed capacity of 1,44,912 MW. Per capita electricity consumption: 600 KW/hr per year. About 80% of total rural energy consumption comes from non-commercial energy. 84% villages electrified. 44% of rural households electrified.

    INDIAN POWER SECTOR

    Source: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

    ENERGY SCENARIO IN INDIA


    Rapid economic development & Increasing population = High demand for Energy A sustained 8% GDP growth of India requires an annual increase of:

    a) Commercial energy supply from 3.7% to 6.1% b) Total primary energy supply from 2.2% to 5.1%

    Limited supply of COAL, coupled with its poor quality, low level of technologies advancements and high environmental hazards. Limited domestic reserves and uncertain foreign supply of hydrocarbons.

    WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR INDIA?


    Power

    shortage Rising Prices of Oils & Gases Ecological Hazards Ample resources and sites available Abundant sunshine Government incentive Increased financing options

    BENEFITS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY


    Avoid the high costs involved in transmission capex. Avoid distribution losses Technical & otherwise Avoid recurring fuel cost Boost the rural economy Encourage self help groups & self dependence Enable village co-operatives to supply and / or monitor distribution Make available much needed energy for basic needs at the doorstep at affordable prices.

    INSTALLED CAPACITY FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY

    Source: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

    CURRENT FOCUS

    Promoting rural energy for productive uses and linked social benefits
    Promoting renewable energy for rural electrification and industrial applications Enhancing access of the rural poor to affordable and sustainable energy services Supporting training and capacity building for manufacture, local assembly and maintenance of renewable energy technologies / systems

    INDIA AN ATTRACTIVE RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET


    India has a large potential for energy generation by utilization of renewable energy source MNRE (Ministry of New & Renewable Energy) has planned a target capacity addition of 10,000 MW during the 11th five year plan

    10% of annual power capacity additions to be from Renewable between 2003-2012

    As per the E&Y Index, India is ranked 3rd overall. High potential for development across various renewable source

    INDIAN WIND ENERGY SECTOR OVERVIEW


    CURRENT SCENARIO
    4th largest producers of wind energy in the world. Indias current installed wind capacity is 8.7 GW (approx. 10% of the worlds total installed capacity). Capacity growth has been strong with a 22% CAGR over last decade. Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra & Karnataka are the leaders in wind capacity.

    INDIAN WIND ENERGY SECTOR OVERVIEW


    FUTURE POTENTIAL
    Cumulative installed capacity is expected to reach 12 GW by 2010. Generation based subsidy of Rs 0.50per unit recently announced for 10 years (limit of 5 MW per developer and 50 MW in aggregate).

    INDIAN SOLAR ENERGY MARKET OVERVIEW


    MASSIVE POTENTIAL OF INDIA
    Huge potential for Solar Energy development in India High sunshine days, abundance of sites make soalr energy an enticing prospect

    MARKET IN GROWTH STAGE


    Installed manufacturing capacity has grown from a meager 10 MW in 2000 to a total of 435 MW by 2010. India is now 7th worldwide in Solar PV Cell production Generation capacities expected to pick up with generation linked subsidy announced by government

    KEY TRENDS IN INDIAN SOLAR INDUSTRY

    Various existing players planning Brownfield expansion. Huge new Greenfield facilities being planned.

    KEY DRIVERS INCLUDE:


    Low operating costs Capital subsidy (20/25%) by government for large semi-conductor based units (for large investments above certain limits) Possibility of Solar Energy development locally. Public and private capital in abundant supply.

    INDIAN HYDRO POWER SECTOR OVERVIEW


    POTENTIAL FOR HYDRO POWER GENERATION

    India ranks 8th in terms of hydro-electricity generated Potential to provide energy in remote and hilly areas where extension of an electrical transmission grid system is uneconomical Till now, 14 States have announced policies for setting up commercial HP generation projects.

    KEY POSITIVE

    Proven Technology Low O&M Costs High energy conversion efficiency (70%)

    INDIAN HYDRO POWER SECTOR OVERVIEW


    KEY DRAWBACKS

    High conception & development period High capital costs (per MW) Social Costs

    FUTURE POTENTIAL Hydro capacity expected to reach 57 GW by 2015. Small hydro potential is expected close to 15 GW. Government has introduced subsidy schemes for HPPs up to 25 MW. Well-established manufacturing base for full range and type of small hydro equipments.

    BIOMASS ENERGY OVERVIEW


    Agricultural Crops and Residues Oil Bearing Plants Bio Mass Woody Biomass Resources Industrial and Municipal Waste Harvesting Collection Handling Storage

    INDIAN BIOMASS MARKET OVERVIEW


    CHALLENGES

    POTENTIAL

    DRIVERS

    Small sized Dependence on agricultural output Insecure raw material linkage Shortage of equipment Lack of cheap financing, both debt & equity Currently, few focused biomass players

    20 GW of power may be generated from 300 MT of agro waste (currently produced) 50% currently burnt in the open Less than 3% potential realized Can revolutionize pace of rural electrification.

    Agro based economy Large, Unexploited domestic resource Favorably aligned regulatory environment Simple technology Power deficit across states

    SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL RETURNS IN RE BASE GENERATION PROJECTS


    Given the comparatively higher cost of generating energy from renewable sources, necessity for financial support for the industry. Government has introduced subsidies to make returns attractive for developers. Indicative expected returns:
