Agenda….

India energy - facts

One of the fastest growing economy

Energy demand exceeds supply by 13.3%

Energy intensity is higher than USA, Japan and Asia as a whole.

Long term energy plan

Projecting the energy demand.

Projecting the energy mix.

Exploring the possibilities for alternative sources.

Suggesting measures for energy efficient uses.

Renewable energy in India : History

Commission for additional sources of energy (CASE)

• Established in 1981

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Resources(MNRES)• Established in 1992 with special focus on non conventional energy

Each state has own support activities like GEDA, MEDA.

First country has set up separate ministry (MNRES)

Why wind energy ?

Pollution free and nature friendly.

Very good potential and fastest growing energy source.

Technology is becoming more advanced and windmills are more efficient.

Why wind energy ?

Sustenance of energy demand can’t be achieved through fossil fuels only.

Global warming and clean development drive.

Carbon credits encourage companies to invest in renewable resources.

650 stations spread over 27 States in the countryThe (MNRE), Govt. of India has established a Centre for Wind Energy Technology at Chennai

225 Wind Monitoring stations have indicated wind power density more than 200 W/m2 at 50 m above ground level.

Kayathar, Tamil Nadu

Potential Relook

Past data available at 25 m hub height

Introducing higher hub heights of 75 ,85 & 90 meters

Many areas have been successfully developed as potential sites.

Few more states other than 8 presently mapped are also being explored by C- WET and private wind energy players

Installed capacity•Tamil Nadu has the most wind power generating capacity : 4900 MW

•Not far from Aralvaymoli, the Muppandal wind farm, the largest in the subcontinent

•The village had been selected as the showcase for India's $2 billion clean energy program

• In Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore and Tiruppur Districts having more wind Mills from 2002 onwards

Tamil nadu

Generating capacity of 1942 MW

Suzlon operates what was once Asia's largest wind farm

The Vankusawade Wind Park (201 MW), near the Koyna reservoir in Satara district of Maharashtra.

Maharastra

Generating capacity of 1782 MW

Samana & sadodar in jamanagar district is set to host energy companies like China Light Power (CLP) and Tata Power

ONGC Ltd has commissioned its first wind power project

Gujarat

Samana, Gujarat- Tata Power

Generating capacity of 1340.23 MW

The 13.2 MW Arasinagundi (ARA) and 16.5 MW Anaburu (ANA) wind farms are ACCIONA’S first in India.

ACCIONA is in talks with the World Bank for The Spanish Carbon Fund which is assessing participation in the project as buyer for CERs likely to arise between 2010 and 2012.

Karnataka

Rajasthan- 738.5 MW

Madhya Pradesh – 212.8 MW

Kerala – 26.5 MW

West Bengal – 1.10 MW

Other states

Ambitions

The goal is the ability to supply 7.5 % of the electricity consumption by 2020 from wind.

* •By 2020 consumption will increase up to 400,000 MW

* •Increase 2000 MW/yr from wind to reach the 30,000 MW

Short term goals

How we are going to achieve it ?

Major wind turbine manufacturers .

Component manufacturing expertise.

Large availability of wind resources.

Long coastline for offshore wind energy potential

Subsidized incentives for wind energy manufacturers.

Required

Require low wind speed turbines

Design to site specific conditions.

Grid compatibility

Challenges…

Optimal pricing of power from conventional sources.

Quality and consistency issue.

Cost of technology.

Availability of financing.

Optimal pricing of power generated from the renewable energy sources

Quality and consistency issue of renewable power arising from the intermittent nature of electricity from wind and small hydropower,

The costs of technology development and production need to be 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 rural electricity sector

An initiative by SBI

Optimal pricing of power generated from the renewable energy sources

Quality and consistency issue of renewable power arising from the intermittent nature of electricity from wind and small hydropower,

The costs of technology development and production need to be 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 rural electricity sector

State Bank of India has set up wind farm project for 15 MW, covering TN, Gujarat and Maharashtra , for captive consumption

Besides, SBI will be eligible now to get carbon credit also due to its clean energy initiative

Suzlon Energy was the supplier of wind turbines for this project which was completed in 4 months .

As a corporate social initiative for clean energy drive this is the first initiative in the country

This sets a new trend in terms of clean energy projects in India and more corporates may follow the footsteps of SBI

A Comparison

Conclusion

7.5 % production penetration in India is an ambitious goal

A coherent national policy for wind energy.

Wind energy projects offer good commercial value and size advantage

1. Wind energy is pollution free and nature friendly

2. Wind energy has very good potential and it is the fastest

growing energy source

3. The future looks bright for wind energy because technology is

becoming more advanced and windmills are becoming more

efficient
