Solar Mission of Indian Railways

2. ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION- Key Statistics of 13-14
IR consumed 17.5 billion units- 1.8% of the country’s power generation.
-15 BUs for traction
- 2.5 BUs for non traction
Total annual bill was Rs.11,300 crore
- Rs.9650 cr. for traction
- Rs.1650 cr. for non traction
Peak requirement of power – 4000 MW
Average cost of power – Rs.6.50 per unit (ranging from Rs.4.11 to Rs.8.38 per unit)

3. Solar Mission of Indian Railways
IR envisages to source 10% of electrical energy from renewable sources by 2020.
Budgetary pronouncement to harness solar energy by utilizing roof top spaces and land including PPP mode.

4. Renewable Energy

5. Railway Energy Management Company (REMC):
REMC, a JV of RITES and MoR, set up to renewable energy projects
Activities mandated to REMC
Harnessing Green Energy
Undertaking power trading activities to reduce electricity bill.
Developing power projects to economise electricity tariff.
Co-ordination with regulatory authorities to obtain relief on increased electricity tariff.
Efficient Power evacuation from captive power plants to TSS
Initiative taken so far :
Setting up of 25 MW wind mill in Rajasthan
Pilot projects for procuring power at a lower tariff through bi-lateral arrangements (a) from Gujarat for Maharashtra and (b) From DVC for Delhi Kanpur Section of NCR.
Further planning to set up MW wind mill plants for Railways

6. SOLAR ENERGY MISSION- Initiative Capacity Under IR’s funding
Railway’s funding :
Capacity Installed : 10 MWp solar energy being harnessed at LC gates, stations, office buildings, hospitals etc..
Sanctioned Works: Total 7.82 MWp of solar plants - SN

Phase-IV:100 MW on Rooftop with Central Financial Assistance (CFA) from MNRE.
100 MW e
Phase-IV:150 MW with CFA support from MNRE. (Ground mounted).
150MW

9. 500 MWp Ground Mounted solar plant
MODALITIES:
Policy issued vide letter dt
REMC will select the developer, identify the sites/states, interact with DISCOMS for wheeling of power, co-ordination with Railways for signing of PPAs, payment mechanism etc
Priority in States having higher tariff & declared Solar Policy
Power generated will be fed to the grid & utilised at railway end.
Developer will set up the solar plant at its own cost.
Zonal Railways to sign Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for getting power at a fixed tariff for next 25 years.
VGF support upto Rs. 1 Cr/MW from MNRE will be passed on to developer.
