UNIT 1
RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIAL IN
INDIA
• 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.
• The domestic power demand of India was 918
billion units in 2012 .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).

Sustainable Development
Government Initiatives
• 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.
• 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.
Mission
The Mission of the Ministry is to ensure
• Energy Security:
Lesser dependence on oil imports through development
and deployment of alternate fuels (hydrogen, biofuels 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;
• 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.
Functions
1) Technology Mapping and Benchmarking;
2) Identify Research, Design, Development and
Manufacture thrust areas and facilitate the same;
3) Lay down standards, specifications and performance
parameters at par with international levels and
facilitate industry in attaining the same;
4) Align costs of new and renewable energy products
and services with international levels and facilitate
industry in attaining the same;
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.
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.
Targets
• The Government of India (GoI) has set a renewable energy capacity
addition target of 29.8 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.
