The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing a number of schemes / programmes, throughout the country, for the development and tapping of renewable energy potential. A capacity addition of 11,262 MW against a target of 10,522 MW has been achieved from various renewable energy sources during the last three years. During 2013-14, a capacity addition of 640 MW has been achieved till 30.06.2013 against the target of 4325 MW.
Among the other steps to promote power generation from renewable energy are, setting up of demonstration projects, intensive resource assessment, development of power evacuation and testing facilities.
Details of the Renewable Energy Schemes / Programmes implemented in the country.
1. GRID-INTERACTIVE/ OFF-GRID RENEWABLE POWER:
o Wind Power : MW-scale Wind Farms/Aero generators/ Hybrid systems
o Bio-power: Biomass power/ Cogeneration
o Small Hydro Power : Small hydro power plants upto 25 MW capacity; Watermills/Micro hydel plants
o Solar Power: Grid-interactive -Solar Thermal and SPV power generation plants, and off-grid/ decentralized systems for various applications.
2. RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR RURAL APPLICATIONS:
o Remote Village Electrification Programme : provision of lighting/ electricity in the unelectrifiedremote villages/ hamlets
o Biomass Gasifier for Rural Energy / Industrial Energy.
o Biogas Programme: setting up of Family Type biogas plants for cooking/ lighting/ manure/ small scale power generation
o Solar Thermal Systems: deployment of decentralized solar thermal systems/ devices (mainly solar cookers / driers for cooking, drying farm produce).
3. RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR URBAN, INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL
APPLICATIONS:
o Biomass(non-bagasse) cogeneration/ U&I Waste to Energy
o Solar water heating systems - for domestic, institutional, commercial/ industrial applications.
o Solar air heating/ steam generation systems - for community cooking/other applications in institutions and industry.
o Geen Buildings - incorporating active renewable energy systems and passive designs
o Solar Cities – Planning for reducing their conventional energy consumption
through energy conservation and use of renewable energy devices/ systems
4. RESEARCH, DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT:
o Supporting research and development projects at premier institutions and industries on different aspects of new and renewable energy technologies.
