The renewable energy sector in India, particularly in Gujarat, is growing significantly. Gujarat contributes around 15% of India's total renewable energy capacity and has an installed wind power capacity of 3,250 MW, the second highest in India. Solar power is also expanding rapidly in Gujarat, with over 850 MW installed currently. The state has abundant renewable resources such as solar radiation, wind potential, and biomass, with an estimated total renewable energy potential of over 748 GW. Favorable policies by the central and state governments have driven the large-scale development of renewable sources like wind and solar in Gujarat.

13. RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR INDIA SCENARIO: WAY FORWARD
Interplay of favorable risk‐return profile at project level coupled with the emerging Indian merchant
power opportunity creates a positive strategic framework for Indian renewable IPP players
PROJECT LEVEL
•Shorter time‐to‐commissioning than conventional power projects
•Fast‐track project approval‐ significantly fewer environmental or CERC clearances required compared to conventional
power projects
•Easier to achieve financial closure vis‐à‐vis larger projects, Greater predictability of project execution
•Plethora of small‐to‐mid size units in “locally constrained” entrepreneurial setups: ideal for consolidation play
•Bidding route not mandatory for new capacities
FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE
•Low working capital requirements, particularly for small hydro and wind projects
•Ability to boost returns through emissions trading options
•Regulatory support, including preferential tariffs
•Fiscal incentives (subsidies, grants and tax incentives) available in some States
SUSTAINABILITY
•Lower fuel sourcing and pricing risk compared to conventional power projects
•Opportunity to de‐risk asset portfolio through geographic and technological options‐ exposure to multiple markets,
regulatory regimes, technologies and climatic conditions
•Lower social friction concerns by promoting ‘inclusive growth’
••Broadening fuel base complements efforts to decouple India’’s economic growth from emissions growth and helps to
achieve energy security
FUND REQUIREMENT
• Consolidated fund requirement estimated by MNRE (Strategic plan for new and renewable energy sector for the
period 2011 ‐17 is:
‐ For grid connected renewable energy technologies – USD 2.6 billion
‐ For off grid renewable energy programs – USD 2.7 billion

coal fired boilers. Under the MNRE programme of energy recovery from industrial & commercial
wastes, the biogas based power project was taken up. The project commissioned in April'2009 and
has been running successfully at about 80% PLF since commissioning.

Government Initiatives & Interventions

39. Renewable Energy Sector Government Initiatives &
Interventions
A robust regulatory framework has been put in place to realize India’s wind, hydro, solar and biomass potential
Electricity Act 2003
•Mandated State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) to
• Promote generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity with
the grid and sale of electricity to any person
• Fix certain minimum percentages for purchase of renewable power
National Electricity Policy 2005
• Further provided for progressive increase in generation of electricity from renewable sources and supported purchases by
distribution companies through competitive bidding process
Tariff Policy 2006
• Provided for fixation by SERCs of a minimum percentage of Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) from RE sources taking
into account availability of such resources in the region and its impact on retail tariffs and procurement by distribution
companies at preferential p p tariffs determined by the SERCs
National Action Plan on Climate Change 2008
• Outlined existing and future policies and programs addressing climate mitigation and adaptation
• NAPCC has advised that starting 2009‐10, RPOs be set at 5% of total grids purchase, and be increased by 1% each year for 10
years.

• Financial as well as economic costs and
benefits of RE are not yet factored in FIT
• Technology upgradation
• Preferred by developers because it enhances project bankability could lead to better returns as it is not
considered in FIT
Accelerated Depreciation (AD)
• Acknowledged as the key instrument for success of wind industry in
India
• Most wind installations in India have been developed under AD.
• The sector has attained scale &
commercial viability on its own.
• Recently introduced to shift investment focus from capacity addition • Presents avenues for additional

• RPOs are mandated by the Electricity Act 2003 and National Tariff
Policy
• RPOs adopted by 23 SERCs
• Readymade market for renewable
power sources
Clean Energy Cess • The government plans to develop these funds for development of

Renewable Energy Certificates
(REC’s)
• MNRE and CERC have developed a REC regime which has kicked off
recently
• Serves as a mechanism to fulfill the RPO obligations thereby
reducing • Helps renewable power developers to

Carbon Trading
• India has largest number of registered and pipeline CDM projects in
the world.
• Helped to push the RE industry by making projects more financially
attractive
• Additional cushion for developers to

State RE Policies • Examples of state with policies for RE include Karnataka, Punjab,

• The number of clearances required for

• One REC to be issued for every MWh of electricity fed to the grid and metered at the bus‐bar of generator
• REC issued is valid for a period of 1 year

Renewable Energy Certificates
• Not related to Carbon Credits, both mechanisms operate independent of each other.
• Pricing of REC component:
• Sold in the exchange within a range of floor price and ceiling price as fixed by CERC from time to time
• A renewable generating entity that has:

• Not entered into any PPA at a preferential tariff
• Sells its power to a local distribution licensee at a cost at or below the Average Power Purchase Cost (excl. RE
power cost)
• Sells power either to the third party or through Power Exchanges
Eligibility
Renewable Purchase Obligations
• In 2007, the Government released draft versions of a new policy which seeks to increase the target to 20 percent by 2020
• Several State Regulators (“SERC”) have translated this national ( SERC ) target into Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO)
• RPOs mandate the minimum quantum of electricity which distribution utilities in the States have to source from renewable
sources (failing which, a penalty may be imposed on them)
• On a pan‐Indian basis, the total RPO commitment by the 12 States that have implemented it constitutes ~5.33 percent of
the total power consumption in 2007‐08
• The RPO system passes on the onus of increasing renewable energy consumption to the State DISCOMS – effectively the cost
of acquiring this renewable electricity is passed onto the consumer through higher power tariffs
