• Karnataka receives global solar radiation in the
range of 5.1 - 6.4 kWh/m2 (summer), 3.5 - 5.3
kWh/m2 (monsoon), and 3.8 – 5.9 kWh/m2
(winter), making solar energy generation across
all seasons.

Solar power - Karnataka Solar Policy 2014-21
In support of the national and state targets, with over 700MW in development.
• Government of Karnataka (GoK) on 22nd May
2014 revised its existing state solar power policy
• 2000 MW (in phased manner) by 2021 i.e. 3%
of solar energy out of total projected
consumption.
o Grid connected projects - 1600 MW.
− Projects by land owning farmers - 300
MW.
− Projects under REC mechanism,
captive/group captive, IPPs – No limit.
− Projects under bundled power
− Projects selected by competitive bidding
(capacity > 3 MWp)
o Grid connected rooftop projects – 400 MW
by 2018.
o Rooftop solar to be promoted; net-metering
provisions included.

Key initiatives.
•
GoK encourages energy-efficient design standards
for energy generation, maximizing natural light entry,
options that provide heat insulation including grid tied
building integrated PV (BIPV)
•
Amendments t0 building bye laws in respect of FAR
(Floor Area Ratio) to exempt FAR in respect of
additional floor area created under solar PV panels.
•
Policy supports deployment of solar powered
irrigation pump sets.
•
Solar parks. Development of solar parks helps to utilize
uneven waste land for power generation.
•
GoK contemplates to create private land banks owned by
farmers or associations for development of solar projects
on long term lease up-to 30 years at lease rates.
•
Grid tied canal corridor projects.
•
Grid connected “solar with other renewable
hybrid projects”. To maximise existing project
infrastructure. Hybrid projects having minimum 25% of
overall generation coming from respective generation
sources shall be promoted through this policy.

Section 2 – One State, many investment opportunity.
Incentives & support to solar power projects.
• Time bound permissions to acquire land
under section 109 of land reforms act
and deemed conversion of lands acquired.
• Time bound clearance for evacuation
approval from KPTCL.
• Reduction of supervision charges by
KPTCL/ESCOMs from 10% to 5%.
• Exempted for obtaining clearance from state
pollution control Board.
(1)
Fiscal incentives
o Developers can avail tax concessions in
respect of Entry Tax, Stamp Duty
and Registration as per industrial
policy of GoK.
o Measures to exempt VAT: The Value
Added Tax applicable on various
Renewable Energy Equipment's,
Instruments & inputs required for
establishment of Solar Power Project
shall be considered for applicable VAT
reimbursement.
o Government of India incentives:
Concessional Excise Duty & Customs
Duty exemptions are allowed to project
developer by Ministry of New &

Incentives & support to solar power projects.
Solar roof top PV systems and net
metering .
•
Solar Roof Top PV systems can be installed
on residential /commercial / industrial
buildings in the state.
•
Excess Generated energy can be fed to the
grid with net metering
•
Attractive Tariff for roof top solar:
o Rs. 9.56/ - Without Subsidy
o Rs . 7.20/ - With Subsidy
(2)
Surya Raitha Scheme for Promoting Solar
Irrigation Pumpset.
o To promote adoption of Solar PV pumpset
by farmers, GoK has announced Surya
Raitha scheme for Solar PV irrigation
pumpset.
o This scheme is applicable for IP sets to the
extent of 10HP capacity. Net-metering
concept for rooftop solar power as per
KERC order is being adopted for this
scheme.
o For investment farmer can avail soft loan
from banks and subsidy from MNRE.

Solar Parks
o The Solar Parks are to be developed in
private dry lands/waste lands which will
provide plug and play facility for
developers.
o A MoU has been signed on 07.01.2015
between SECI and KREDL for
development of 2 solar parks of 800
MW each in Karnataka.
o 11,000 acres of land has been identified

Land Document verification is under
process.
Karnataka supports the
development of solar parks and
provides incentives/ concessions
to developers as per MNRE /
SECI guidelines.
2 x 800 MW solar park for
development.
o Land lease rate will be finalised after
negotiation.
o Promotion of distributed generation
through small solar parks (Min 100 acre)
Promotion of integrated solar parks.

2. Wind power
• Karnataka is one of the wind-rich states in
India and has a potential around 14 GW.
Currently a capacity of 2.6 GW has been
installed in the state.
• The capacity addition in state has been
quite stable of around +250 MW/annum
in the last 3 years.
• During the Financial year 2014-15, it was
targeted to achieve 350 MW Wind Power
Project in the State, of which 250 MW has
been commissioned.

A 30GW* estimate at 100mtr hub height, opens up strong
investment opportunity in wind power projects.
WPD > 200 W/m2 at 100 and 120 mtr hub height
• Independent study, identifies various wind
rich locations in the state (Bellary,
Chitradurga, Chamrajnagar, parts of
Kolar, Chikballapur, Hassan, Haveri,
Gadag, Koppal and Bijapur), estimating
over 30GW potential.
• With the simplification of land acquisition
and conversion process, expedition of
forest clearances, industrial status to wind
