3 Energy poverty in India Access to electricity A significant number of Indian households continue to rely on kerosene for lighting. Although the electricity grid has reached a large part of the country, supply is still unreliable and of poor quality. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Assam consume more than 50 per cent of the total kerosene used for lighting in the country. Sources of basic lighting in India Solar 0.44 Other oils 0.20 Biomass, wood 0.20 No lighting 0.47 Figures in percentage Kerosene Electricity Source: Census of India, 2011 RENEWABLE ENERGY 3 FACTSHEET

4 Energy poverty in India Share of households using electricity and kerosene for lighting Lack of access to electricity is a chronic problem in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, Odisha and Jharkhand. Half the households in these states are yet to be connected to the grid.

5 States using decentralised solar for their lighting needs The states with least access to grid power, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, along with West Bengal, are the largest users of decentralised solar applications for lighting. When the grid power has not reached a large number of households, there is a clear demand for decentralised renewable energy solutions.

Energy poverty in India The burning question Sixty six years since independence, nearly 700 million people in India depend on firewood for cooking using traditional cookstoves.

6 Energy poverty in India The burning question Sixty six years since independence, nearly 700 million people in India depend on firewood for cooking using traditional cookstoves. India has a long way to go before every household has access to clean cooking fuel.

8 Current renewable energy achievements Grid-interactive power The focus of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy policies has shifted from small off-grid systems to grid-connected renewable energy. This is visible from the fact that renewable energy has grown from almost 20,000 MW in March 2011 to 30,000 MW in January 2014 a growth of 50 per cent in less than three years. 30, Actual (MW) as on January 31, , , , , , Total Solar power Waste-toenergy Biogas cogeneration Biomass power & gasification Small hydro power Wind power Source: Ministry of new and renewable energy RENEWABLE ENERGY 8 FACTSHEET

9 Off-grid/captive power Off-grid achievements have been more or less contributed by industrial units for captive power generation.

13 1. A capacity addition of 30,000 MW of gridconnected renewable power is proposed. Institutional mechanisms to accelerate adoption of renewable power by states in the form of renewable purchase obligations are sought to be enforced by bringing in an amendment into the Electricity Act, 2003 To ensure volumes, generation-based incentives will be continued It has been proposed to restrict upfront subsidy for small hydro plants of capacity 10 MW or less from the existing 25 MW 2. A capacity addition target of 3,400 MW for off-grid distributed renewable power is proposed The incentives for such projects would be sourced from a pool of funds originating from National Clean Energy Fund, CSR activities and tax-free donations 3. Renewable energy for cooking Continue biogas and solar cooker programme Solar cooking could be promoted under mid-day meal programme 4. Renewable energy for rural electricity access Models like solar home lighting systems through banking system, entrepreneur based biomass gasifier models for providing basic electricity and micro hydro systems will continue to be supported Special emphasis to be given to pumped water storage hydro plants to address intermittency in solar and wind technology Major New Initiatives 1. National Institute of Solar Energy: Undertaking applied research, demonstration and development in solar energy including solar hybrid areas. 2. National Bioenergy Corporation of India: Set up to implement bioenergy mission including cook stove programme. 3. Renewable Energy Development Fund: Creation of a Renewable Energy Development fund has been proposed to fill the gap between the sector s financing needs and the amount that falls short of the banks obligations to their lending to this priority sector. 4. National Bioenergy Mission: In view of the success of biomass-based off-grid renewable models in rural areas of Bihar, a Biomass Mission has been proposed to create a policy framework for attracting investment and to facilitate rapid development of commercial biomass energy market. 5. Renewable Power Evacuation Infrastructure: Special emphasis will be placed on creating evacuation infrastructure and transmission facilities for renewable power in a time-bound manner to support the large expansion in consumption and production of renewable power and optimal utilisation of transmission system. 6. National Biomass Cook Stove Programme: The initiative plans to universalise access of improved biomass cook stoves by providing assistance in exploring technology deployments, biomass processing and delivery models leveraging public-private partnerships. 5. Off-grid solution for industrial, commercial and buildings applications Existing scheme on solar water heaters will continue with a review on capital subsidy Green building programme and solar city initiative will be expanded to new cities RENEWABLE ENERGY 13 FACTSHEET
