INDIAN WIND ENERGYINDIAN WIND ENERGY

SECTOR OVERVIEW

:SECTOR OVERVIEW

: India has the fifth largest installed wind powercapacity in the world.

As of 30 June 2010 the installed capacity of wind

power in India was 12009.48 MW. Wind power accounts for 6% of India's total installed

power capacity, and it generates 1.6% of the country's

power.

Tamilnadu,Maharashtra & Karnataka are the leaders in

the wind capacity.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)

has fixed a target of 10,500 MW between 200712

SECTOR OVERVIEWSECTOR OVERVIEW The climatic condition in India provides abundant

potential of solar power

Huge potential for solar energy development.

India is now in 7th place worldwide in Solar

Photovoltaic (PV) Cell production & at 9th place inSolar Thermal Systems.

Possibility of Solar Energy development locally.

Public and private capital in abundant supply.

Indian Hydro PowerIndian Hydro Power

Sector OverviewSector Overview The potential for hydroelectric power in India is oneof the greatest in the world, India ranks 8th inhydroelectricity generation.

There is potential for an installed capacity of over150,000 MW.

Of the total hydro potential in India, only 15% has so

far been utilized, with another 7% under variousstages of development.

The share of hydroelectricity has gone down to 25%of the overall national power generation capacity.

Challenges for renewableChallenges for renewable

EnergyEnergy Optimal pricing of power generated from the renewable energysources

Quality and consistency issue of renewable power arising fromthe intermittent nature of electricity from wind and small

hydropower,

The costs of technology development and production need tobe reduced significantly from current levels

Availability of financing especially project finance for Renewable

Creditworthiness of counterparties has posed challenges

Slow pace of rural electrification and pace of reforms in the ruralelectricity sector
