RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIAL IN INDIA

2. Current scenario of energy demand and supply demands the research and development activities in exploration of new reserves. There are huge amount of potential available in the renewable energy system which can be explored and harnessed to meet the energy demand.

3. The domestic power demand of India was 918 billion units in 2012
The domestic power demand of India was 918 billion units in It is expected that at 9.8% annual growth the demand will reach 1640 billion units by 2020.At this pace India will require 390 GW in the next 8 years which is almost double its current installed capacity of 210 GW(including all sources).

17. Sustainable Development
Government Initiatives

18. Commission for Additional Sources of Energy (CASE) in 1981.
Department of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (DNES) in 1982 Under Ministry of Energy..
Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) in 1992.
Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) renamed as Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in 2006.

19. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is the nodal Ministry of the Government of India for all matters relating to new and renewable energy. The broad aim of the Ministry is to develop and deploy new and renewable energy for supplementing the energy requirements of the country.

20. Mission The Mission of the Ministry is to ensure Energy Security:
Lesser dependence on oil imports through development and deployment of alternate fuels (hydrogen, bio-fuels and synthetic fuels) and their applications to contribute towards bridging the gap between domestic oil supply and demand;
Increase in the share of clean power:
Renewable (bio, wind, hydro, solar, geothermal & tidal) electricity to supplement fossil fuel based electricity generation;

21. Energy Availability and Access:
Supplement energy needs of cooking, heating, motive power and captive generation in rural, urban, industrial and commercial sectors;
Energy Affordability:
Cost-competitive, convenient, safe, and reliable new and renewable energy supply options; and
Energy Equity:
Per-capita energy consumption at par with the global average level by 2050, through a sustainable and diverse fuel- mix.

22. Functions Technology Mapping and Benchmarking;
Identify Research, Design, Development and Manufacture thrust areas and facilitate the same;
Lay down standards, specifications and performance parameters at par with international levels and facilitate industry in attaining the same;
Align costs of new and renewable energy products and services with international levels and facilitate industry in attaining the same;

23. 5)Appropriate international level quality assurance accreditation and facilitate industry in obtaining the same;
6)Provide sustained feed-back to manufacturers on performance parameters of new and renewable energy products and services with the aim of effecting continuous upgradation so as to attain international levels in the shortest possible time span;
7)Facilitate industry in becoming internationally competitive and a net foreign exchange earner especially through (ii) to (v) above and related measures;
8)Resource Survey, Assessment, Mapping and Dissemination.

24. 9) Identify areas in which new and renewable energy products and services need to be deployed in keeping with the goal of national energy security and energy independence;
10) Deployment strategy for various indigenously developed and manufactured new and renewable energy products and services;
11) Provision of cost-competitive new and renewable energy supply options.

25. Targets
The Government of India (GoI) has set a renewable energy capacity addition target of GW for the twelfth FYP, taking the total renewable capacity to almost 55 GW by the end of FY17. This includes 15 GW from wind, 10 GW from solar, 2.7 GW from biomass and 2.1 GW from small hydro.
Investment in renewable energy is expected to almost quadruple to INR 3,186 billion in the 12th FYP from INR 892 billion in the 11th FYP, implying average annual investments of nearly INR 640 billion.
