Renewable Energy Source(RES)

Need Renewable Energy Power shortage Rising Prices of Oils & Gases Ecological Hazards Ample resources and sites available Abundant sunshine Government incentive Reduced dependence on fossil fuel Control cost of generation Job creation

International Energy Agency - Analysis Energy consumption set to triple by 2030 Set to become 3rd largest emitter of CO2 Power plants emit 0.94 kg CO2 per kWh

Total installed capacity of 263.66 GW RE capacity of 34.35 GW (13%)

Wind power started years back and has been popular in coastal areas and south. The main limitation is location – there are vast areas where wind turbines cannot work. Mini hydro, similarly is limited location, even more than wind. Bio mass & waste co-generation have scale problems. New technologies are not yet commercialized Solar photovoltaic is possible almost in the entire country, but works only in daylight hours.

Areas RE Development Grid interactive Renewable Energy Generation systems Renewable Energy for Urban, Industrial and Commercial applications Renewable Energy for Rural applications, Irrigation, enterprises, cooking, lighting etc. Research, Design and Development in new Renewable energy generation and applications

Future growth -RE in India Reduced Demand Supply Gap Large renewable energy potential Availability of New forms of capital Private equity Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Increasing state level initiatives – States such as Punjab, Haryana, AP taking the lead in development of RE projects Funding for Institutions Funding for Start up Funding for Incubation
