ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Increase in energy demand rapid economic growth in developing economies, especially China and India
Since 2005, the energy and climate change agenda has taken
center stage in the domestic and international policy arena.
UN Climate Change Conference, 2009- India pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 2025% below 2005 levels by 2020 Renewable energy - Energy produced and/or derived from sources that can be renewed indefinitely, such as hydro, solar and wind power, or sustainably produced, such as biomass Renewable 10.73% Hydro (large hydro) , 21.73% Nuclear , 2.78%
Power Sources-India
Total Power Installed Capacity, India: 171 GW ( Feb 2011) Thermal , 64.75%
PRESENT SCENARIO
India has 150GW of renewable energy potential and ranks fifth in the world in total installed renewable energy capacity ( World Bank ,2010) Present installed renewable energy generation capacity- 18 GW (as of February,2011) Targetso Increase the capacity to generate renewable energy by 40GW to 55GW by the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2022) o National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)- 1 % annual increase in renewable energy generation o Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)- Ambitious target of adding 1GW of capacity between 2010 and 2013. It seeks to increase combined solar capacity from 9MW in 2010 to 20GW by 2022 o Government of India plans to provide universal access and to increase per capita consumption to 1,000 kWh by 2012

RENEWABLE ENERGY
WIND
Fifth largest installed capacity(14GW) 50 GW by 2020 Bottlenecks : Demand supply gap in turbines widening Opportunities: Developers, turbine component manufacturing, wind energy analytics Major Players: Suzlon, Vestas, GE, Siemens, Enercon
SMALL HYDRO
Potential 15 GW Current Status 2.9GW (20% of total) Drivers : Power requirements in remote locations and availability of small hydro resources in these locations Bottlenecks :Long approval times (over 3 years), environmental clearances Opportunities: Equipment supply, especially more efficient turbines and accessories
Major Players :
BIOMASS
Total installed capacity (including cogeneration): about 2.2 GW Drivers rural power needs, small scale power needs
