    Renewable Energy in India: Status and Future Prospects

    Uploaded by

    Shounak Roy
    India has significant potential for renewable energy but currently relies heavily on non-renewable sources. Renewable energy resources could help meet increasing energy demand, avoid environmental issues, and boost rural development. Key renewable sources for India include wind (potential 45GW), solar (50GW), biomass (45GW), and small hydro (15GW). The government is promoting renewable energy through generation-based incentives to attract investment and make projects economically viable. If developed fully, renewable sources could contribute meaningfully to India's energy needs while bringing socio-economic benefits.

    Renewable Energy in India: Status and Future Prospects

    the time is running outsoon, there will be nothing left to burn on earth but earth itself

    By: Pushkar Shanker Dept. of Electrical Engineering Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College

    ENERGY IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW


    India consumes 3.7% of the worlds commercial energy making it the 5th largest consumer of energy globally. Total installed capacity of 1,44,912 MW. 350 kgoe per capita primary commercial energy consumption. 22% of world average. Per capita electricity consumption: 600 kWhr per year. About 80% of total rural energy consumption comes from non-commercial energy. 84% villages electrified. 44% of rural households electrified.

    ENERGY CONSUMPTION TREND

    ENERGY SCENARIO IN INDIA


    Rapid economic development & Increasing population = High demand for Energy A sustained 8% GDP growth of India requires an annual increase of:

    a) Commercial energy supply from 3.7% to 6.1% b) Total primary energy supply from 2.2% to 5.1%

    Limited supply of COAL, coupled with its poor quality, low level of technologies advancements and high environmental hazards. Limited domestic reserves and uncertain foreign supply of hydrocarbons.

    WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR INDIA?


    Power

    shortage Rising Prices of Oils & Gases Ecological Hazards Ample resources and sites available Abundant sunshine Government incentive Increased financing options

    BENEFITS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY


    Avoid the high costs involved in transmission capex. Avoid distribution losses Technical & otherwise Avoid recurring fuel cost Boost the rural economy Encourage self help groups & self dependence Enable village co-operatives to supply and / or monitor distribution Make available much needed energy for basic needs at the doorstep at affordable prices.

    INSTALLED CAPACITY FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY
