INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

Renewable energy has been an important component of India’s energy planning. The
importance of renewable energy sources in the transition to a sustainable energy base was
recognized in the early 1970s. Modern renewable energy is being used increasingly in four
distinct markets: power generation, heating and cooling, transport, and rural/off-grid energy
services. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has been facilitating
the implementation of broad spectrum programs including harnessing renewable power,
renewable energy for rural areas for lighting, cooking and motive power, use of renewable
energy in urban, industrial and commercial applications and development of alternate fuels
and applications. In addition, it supports research, design and development of new and
renewable energy technologies, products and services.
The approach for deployment of new and renewable energy systems focused on a mix of
subsidy, fiscal incentives, preferential tariffs, market mechanism and affirmative action such
as renewable purchase obligations by way of legislation and policies. Financial support has
also been extended to research and development (R&D), information & publicity and other
support programs.
Renewable energy plays an important role in the long-term energy supply security,
diversification of energy mix, energy access, environmental security and sustainability.
Renewable energy is bound to play an increasing role in future energy systems. This chapter
analyses central level policies and interventions for renewable energy applications and also
recommends a set of guidelines to serve as a roadmap to accelerate the deployment of
renewable energy technologies.

PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

Power generation from renewable sources is on the rise in India, with the share of
renewable energy in the country’s total installed capacity rising from 7.8% in 2008 to around
13% in 2014 (IREDA, 2014). India now has about 36.4 GW of installed renewable energy
capacity. Of these, wind is the largest contributor and stands at around 23.7 GW of installed
capacity making India the world’s fifth largest wind energy producer. Small hydro power (4.1
GW), bio-energy (4.4 GW) and solar energy (4 GW) constitute the remaining capacity
(MNRE, 2015). It has been reported that in terms of electricity generation, approximately 70
billion units per year is being generated from renewable sources (MNRE, 2014). Figure 1
below shows the renewable energy mix in the total installed capacity in India.
