1. Renewable Energy for Indian Railways Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Government of India Dr. Arun K Tripathi Sr. Director aktripathi@nic.in 04.01.2015

2. WHY RENEWABLES ? Increasing energy demand - supply gap Need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels Increasing cost of electrification to cover villages in far- flung and remote areas High availability of solar, wind, biomass and hydel resources in India Small size, modularity and low gestation periods which favour quick capacity additions Successful demonstration of renewable energy technologies and their viability with declining costs Increasing environmental concerns which favour renewables as they are environmentally benign

3. WHY RENEWABLES FOR INDIAN RAILWAYS Railway sector growth 8-9% Progressive shift of freight traffic to railways 80% of rail freight and 60% passenger traffic on electric energy by 2030 Electricity demand to go 100 billion kWh by 2030 for railway sector alone in India. The current trends indicates constraints in indigenous availability of conventional energy resources. Increasing cost of Conventional Power and decreasing trend in cost of Reenwable Power World trend to achieve min. 25% through RE by 2020 in transport sector leader Germany, Sweden, USA. Current share of RE Power is 13%(installed Capacity) which is planned to 20% by 2030 Fuel diversity No space constraint in Railways
