development began in 1964 by
commissioning of two boiling water
reactors at Tarapur.
9. HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER
0 India is one of the pioneering countries in establishing hydro-electric
power plants. The power plants at Darjeeling and Shimsha
(Shivanasamudra) were established in 1898 and 1902 respectively
and are among the first in Asia.
0 India is endowed with economically exploitable and viable hydro
potential assessed to be about 84,000 MW at 60% load factor. In
addition, 6,780 MW in terms of installed capacity from Small, Mini,
and Micro Hydel schemes have been assessed. used form of

highest global solar radiation on a horizontal surface.
0 Government of India launched its Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar
Mission.
0 The first Indian solar thermal power project (2X50MW) is in
progress in Phalodi Rajasthan.
13. Wind Energy
0 India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
0 The largest wind power generating state is TAMIL NADU
accounting for 30% of installed capacity, followed in decreasing
order by Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan.
0 The state of Gujarat is estimated
to have the maximum gross wind
power potential in India, with a
potential of 10.6 GW.
14. GEO-THERMAL ENERGY
0 India’s geothermal energy installed capacity is experimental at the
moment. So commercial use is insignificant.
0 India has about 340 hot springs spread over the country. Of this, 62
are distributed along the northwest Himalaya, in the States of Jammu
and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
0 Andaman and Nicobar arc is the only
place in India where volcanic activity
geo-thermal energy is present.
15. TIDAL WAVE ENERGY
0 India is surrounded by sea on three sides, its potential to harness tidal
energy is significant.
0 The Gulf of Khambhat and the Gulf of Kutch on India’s west coast
where the maximum tidal range is 11 m and 8 m with average tidal
range of 6.77 m and 5.23 m respectively AND 4m is sufficient.
0 Barrage technology could harvest about 8 GW from tidal energy in
India, mostly in Gujarat.
0 Potential along the Indian coast is between 5 MW to 15 MW per
meter, suggesting a theoretical maximum potential for electricity
harvesting from India’s 7500 kilometer coast line may be about 40
GW.
16. BIO-MASS POWER
0 In this system biomass, bagasse, forestry and agro residue &
agricultural wastes are used as fuel to produce electricity.
0 In 2011, India started a new initiative with the aim to demonstrate
medium size mixed feed biogas-fertilizer pilot plants. This
technology aims for generation, purification/enrichment, bottling and
piped distribution of biogas.
0 India has additionally commissioned 158 projects under its Biogas
based Distributed/Grid Power Generation programme, with a total
installed capacity of about 2 MW.
