...SUMMARY The total installed capacity in India is 1,50,000MW but we are facing a power deficit of around 10%. The per capita power consumption is 665 kWh and this figure is steadily increasing. To meet this increasing demand and reduce the current peak shortage, the Government has planned to double the existing capacity to 3,00,000MW over the next decade (2010-20). BIOMASS POWER SCENARIO India has a biomass availability of 150 million MT per annum which gives us a potential to install 16,000MW of biomass based power plants. But only 600MW is installed and another 600MW is under implementation. To realise this huge potential we need an investment of Rs.1,00,000 crore. Some reasons for lack of investments in Biomass sector are: It costs around Rs.6cr/MW for a Biomass plant whereas a thermal plant requires only about Rs.4.5cr/MW. Availability of Biomass fuel with high calorific value (> 4000kcal/kg) PROMOTIONAL INCENTIVES Accelerated Depreciation 80% in first year (Boiler and Turbine). Income Tax Holiday under Section 80 1A for 10 years. Concessional import duty; excise duty exemptions on equipments & components required for initial setting of the project. Sales tax exemption in some states. IREDA provides loans for biomass power projects. Preferential Tariff in 14 States. INVESTMENTS India and Germany have signed a Rs.140 crore deal to install 7 Biomass projects in India. During the 11th Plan period, the Government of India aims to add 500MW capacity through...

...around $758 billion in 2011. In International trade, the largest exporter is China and importer is Germany of EGS. The promotion of EGS is been done by providing subsidy and standardising the EGS products. According to the International Energy Agency IEA (2011), global renewable energy subsidies were about $66 billion in 2010, and will reach almost $250 billion in 2035. Total global investment in EGS is $260 billion in 2011 – up 5 percent above 2010 levels and almost five times the total of $54 billion in 2004. The tariffs rates imposed on EGS generally range between 5%-10% Introduction International trade in environmental goods and services (EGS) may contribute to the achievement of environmental, economic and developmental benefits and to the transition towards a “green economy”. The international community has been exploring several strategies to promote sustainable development through enhanced trade in EGS. The WTO negotiations on EGS seek to reduce or eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade in EGS. The Doha Ministerial Declaration in paragraph 31 (iii) provides the mandate for WTO negotiations on environmental goods and services liberalization by way of “the reduction or, as appropriate, elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to environmental goods and services (EGS)”.The “EGS industry”, according to European Union estimates, generates 54 billion Euros in economic activity per year and employs more than 2 million people in European Union.

...enewable Energy technologies (RET) are amenable to adoption at different scales viz. a few hundred Megawatts to a few kilowatts and can be matched with end use requirements enabling their decentralized deployment. They can help promote sustainable development through increased opportunities for local employment, particularly the rural people and environmental improvement through reduced GHG emissions. Primary biomass combustion has been the main source of energy for India. According to the Integrated Energy Policy Report (2006), about 80 mtoe is currently used in the rural households. The Ministry of New and Renewable energy has estimated state-wise gross and net availability of agro residue for power generation through Biomass Resource Atlas. Projects based on both biomass combustion and biomass gasification technologies are promoted by the Ministry. Biomass based renewable energy has the potential to be at the forefront in India with the large amount of varied kinds of feedstock available, especially agricultural residues. Such projects will be sustainable with a viable business model. The lessons learnt from DESI Power project has been included in this issue. The recently launched Renewable Global Status Report 2009 is also featured here, which offers an optimistic picture about the global renewable energy industry, including the biomass sector and especially covers India’s Remote Village Electrification program that has been successful and continues to progress ...

...Experience with Promotion of Renewable Energy: Successes and Lessons Learned Parliamentarian Forum on Energy Legislation and Sustainable Development Cape Town, South Africa 5-7 October, 2005 Richard L. Ottinger[?] Abstract: Renewable energy is becoming economic in all markets as its rapid growth results in more competitive prices. It is particularly appropriate and increasingly being adopted for providing electric power services to rural areas in developing countries unlikely to be served by grid electricity. Policies needed to implement renewable energy systems in rural areas are discussed in this paper. Most prominent are removal of subsidies to traditional energy primarily benefiting the wealthiest; involving the local populace in decision making; educating financial institutions about the economics of investing in renewable energy systems and creating investment vehicles appropriate to financing them in poor localities; training personnel on management, maintenance and drafting contracts; requiring vendor provision of maintenance and parts; and effective regulation and oversight of system management and financing. I. Introduction The recent sharp increases in the prices of oil, natural gas, uranium and coal underline the importance for all countries to focus on development of alternative energy resources. For developing countries, these price increases can have ruinous economic consequences; for many countries already plagued by poverty this means...

... Year 2006: In the year 2006 a total of 19 wind energy projects were registered out of which 14 were small scale projects. Small scale projects: Additionality of 3 small scale projects has been studied as a sample. These projects are: 1. Generation of electricity from 6.25 MW capacity wind mills by Sun-n-Sand Hotels Pvt. Ltd at Soda Mada Rajasthan 2. 3.75 MW Small Scale Grid Connected “Demonstration Wind Farm Project” at Chalkewadi, District Satara, State Mahararashtra 3. 10.6 MW wind farm at Village Badabagh, District Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. All the 3 projects demonstrated investment barrier in the additionality. The 6.25 MW and 10.6 MW project showed that the cost of power generation through wind is higher compared to that of coal and fuel oil, whereas. The 3.75 MW project has shown how due to non payment by Maharashtra state electricity board the project participants were not able to repay the loan (50 % of the total project cost). This has also been shown as a regulatory risk by the project proponent. The projects have demonstrated technology barrier faced due to poor penetration of wind energy and uncertainty in power generation through wind. The 6.25 MW project also faced technological barrier by using higher capacity of WTGs (1250 Kw) and other barriers like investment in power evacuation, unskilled manpower and lack of experience due to new technology. The 10.6 MW project in Rajasthan faced regulatory barriers because the policies of the Rajasthan electricity...

...Off-Grid Renewable Energy Applications- World Wide School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Abstract: About 1.4 billion urban and rural households around the world remain without electricity access today. 85% of these households are in rural areas and find it geographically challenging to benefit from grid-connected electricity for power supply. In the developing countries, rural areas mainly rely on inconvenient non-commercial resources like wood, agricultural residues etc. as sources of power generation. Hence, Off-Grid power, which can be generated on-site from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass, plays a major role for the future of rural electrification world-wide. To achieve universal access of electricity, International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2030 about 171 TWh of Off-Grid electricity will need to be generated for providing power to approximately 210M or 20% of total rural households. This paper focuses on understanding the implementation and impact of three Off-Grid renewable energy systems in three different developing countries. Two of them are successfully implemented and the other is currently under implementation. The fully implemented Off-Grid systems selected for this paper are “Off-Grid Rural Electrification-Ladakh” in India and “Off grid Solar Power System for a rural village” in Malaysia. The system that is currently being implemented is the “Rural Renewable Energy Development Project” in Bhutan. These projects have...

...production, it is not available for agriculture or domestic consumption. Water is a classic example of the distribution problem of scarce resources. There is actually enough water in the world for everyone's needs, and it is not a resource that is ever 'used up' in the way that other resources can be consumed. The amount of water in the earth's water cycle - evaporating from the sea, then falling as precipitation over land - is constant, the problem is one of distribution - it is not always located where it is needed.

...POWER AND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN INDIA 1. OVERVIEW OF INDIA’S POWER SECTOR 1.1 Background India's power market is the fifth largest in the world. The power sector is high on India's priority as it offers tremendous potential for investing companies based on the sheer size of the market and the returns available on investment capital. Contribution from different sources of power generation Gas based 10% Coal based Gas based Hydro Renewable Nuclear Diesel Source: Ministry of Power, Government of India Almost 55 per cent of this capacity is based on coal, about 10 per cent on gas, 26 per cent on hydro, approximately 5 per cent on renewable sources, about 3 per cent on nuclear and 1 per cent on diesel. In the past five years, there has been a much greater emphasis on transmission and distribution reforms. The government aims to provide "power to all" by 2012. To achieve that promise, it will have to add as much as 1,00,000 MW of generation capacity, cut AT&C losses substantially to below 20 per cent, rationalize tariffs and ensure that average revenue realization is greater than the cost of production. It will have to continue to push the process of reform and restructuring and ensure greater private participation, in every segment. In the past few years, there has been considerable growth in power plants based on renewable sources of energy. The Plant Load Factor (PLF) of generating plants has improved consistently over the last 10 years. The share of thermal power...
