Renewable Energy Industry –Brief Overview (1/2)INDIAN RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY India is one of the most dynamic and vibrant markets in the world for renewableenergy. It offers huge renewable resource availability and potential.India is ranked fourth globally in the renewable energy country attractiveness index inthe year 20171.India has the fifth largest power generation sector globally with a total installedcapacity of 344 GW as on 31 March 2018. The Contribution of private sector in theoverall installed capacity is increasing, and now stands at 155 GW (45.2%), followed byState and Central Governments with contribution of 84 GW (24.6%) and 103 GW(30.2%) respectively2.Thermal power dominates the generation mix with an installed capacity of 222.9 GW(64.8%), followed by renewable power with 69 GW (20.1%), hydro with 45.2 GW(13.2%), and nuclear with 6.7 GW (2%).The share of renewable power has increased considerably from 3.5 GW in 2002 to 69GW in 20183. The Private sector investments, primarily driven by governmentincentives such as fiscal incentives, direct and indirect tax benefits, depreciationallowances and 100% FDI allowance have been the major drivers of the renewablesector in India.Installed Capacity of Renewable Energy in India (GW)693.520022018Source: Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, MNRE Page 7The wind power has the highest share in the installed capacity of Renewable Energyin India.

This happens to bethe largest every capacity addition planned. The country’s aspiration to achieve 40%power installed capacity from non-fossil based energy resources by 2030 has made itsnascent solar power industry the destination for global investors, creating growthopportunities for a host of industries 5 India has made several reform initiatives under the ‘Getting Electricity’ reform area ofEase of Doing Business, World Bank initiative, because of which India’s ranking hasimproved from 99 in the 2015 report to 29 in the 2018 report 6 Renewable energy has been re-classified as ‘white category’. Previously, this sector wasunder ‘green category’ and the re-classification will enable ease of doing business assetting up of solar and wind power plants will be exempt from seeking environmentalclearances from Ministry and consent from State Pollution Control Boards India has also launched Wind Atlas, 2015, a GIS (Geographical Information System)software tool to help policy planners and developers.

Key Credentials of the State(1/4)UTTARAKHAND SNAPSHOT Uttarakhand is being developed as an ‘energy state’ to tap the hydropower electricpotential of over 25,000 MW. About 76.85 per cent of the capacity owned by state utilitiesis based on hydropower. In addition, government of Uttarakhand plans to promote anddevelop: Power generation through Hydro projects Co-generation in industries such as Sugar, Paper, Fertilizer and Chemical etc. Power generation from Biomass / Agricultural residue Power generation from urban, municipal and industrial waste Power generation from solar energy Power generation from wind energy Power generation from geothermal energy Energy conservation in domestic, agriculture, industrial, commercial and transportsectors through induction of administrative/statutory/ legislative/ technicalsolutions and imposing stringent conditions for all categories of consumers.
