Renewable Regulatory Fund (RRF) Mechanism As per Grid Code, complementary commercial mechanism was to be implemented from 01.01.2011 On request of IWTMA, implementation of RRF Mechanism postponed to 01.01.2012 CERC directed MNRE to convene a meeting among stakeholders to resolve RRF related issues Task Force constituted to resolve the RRF issues formed under the chairmanship of Shri S.K. Soonee, CEO, POSOCO After several rounds of discussions among the stakeholders and experts, Task Force submitted its report recently which is under consideration 10
Wind Resource Assessment Issues Wind Resource Re-assessment at 100 m height Wind resource re-assessment at 100 m height to be done at 75 sites across seven states. State No. of sites NOCs awaited Andhra Pradesh 10 - Karnataka 13 1 Rajasthan 12 12 Tamil Nadu 12 6 Maharashtra 8 - Gujarat 12 11 Madhya Pradesh 8 - States requested to send remaining NOCs 11
General Wind Resource Assessment Programme of C-WET WRA for 54 sites sanctioned in 2010-11 27 stations already commissioned (AP all 15; Karnataka-10; Kerala-2) No response from Tamilnadu(3), Puducherry(2), Rajasthan(2) States are requested to commission the remaining sites 10 sites finalised under WRA Programme 2010-11 for NE States. NOCs for all 10 sites received. Year 2011-12 Odisha - 7 sites finalised, masts being set-up 12
Offshore Wind Power in India India has a coast line of about 7600 km. Preliminary assessment at 54 locations on the coast in the states of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Odisha, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, West Bengal, Puducherry and Goa. 13
Offshore Wind Power in India A Steering Committee formed by the Ministry A subcommittee of the Steering committee assigned the task of preparing draft policy for offshore wind power development. Preliminary assessment done by Scottish Agency shows a potential of around 1000 (Rameshwaram) and another 1000 MW (Kaniyakumari). This needs validation. 14
Re-powering of Old Sites About 4000 MW with unit size below 500 kw For better potential harnessing replace old and smaller generators by larger capacity & new generation wind turbines. Issues - Land ownership, land costing and decommissioning cost States reluctant to go for new PPA Realistic assessment of re-powering potential Creation of an appropriate policy framework for re-powering including- Revision of PPA for repowered projects, transmission of power to other states 15
C-WET S ROLE Established at Chennai as an autonomous institution of MNRE Objectives and Functions: Technical focal point for wind power development Wind Resource Assessment Standardization and certification Testing facilities as per international standards Type approval for wind turbines Information, Training & Commercial Services Research and Development 16
Organization of C-WET Divisions in C-WET: The Centre for Wind Energy Technology is working with the following structure Research & Development unit Wind Resource Assessment Unit Wind Turbine Testing Unit Standards and Certification Unit Information, Training & Commercial Service Unit Solar Radiation Resource Assessment 17
Issues in Wind Power Development Forest land clearance, mainly in Karnataka Creation of infrastructure for power evacuation and transmission facilities Availability of land Potential land mostly acquired by manufacturers/ developers States to revise Tariff as per CERC guidelines Development of scheduling and forecasting system Industry and LDCs not yet fully prepared Withdrawal of Accelerated Depreciation Continuation of GBI Scheme 18
State Specific Issues ANDHRAPRADESH Target for 2012-13 is 500 MW. Inadequate Tariff at low PLF sites. For Captive Generation, Banking and Wheeling not permitted Entire cost of evacuation infrastructure has to be borne by the developer No time limit on private wind monitoring due to which a few developers are holding potential land for long time 150 MW installed but not commissioned (as on 31.05.2012) 19
State Specific Issues - GUJARAT Target for 2012-13 is 300 MW and for 12 th Plan 2100 MW Tariff control period and wind policy ending in current year Identification and purchase of land for compensatory afforestation is costly and long drawn process Direct purchase of private land is not allowed Construction of evacuation lines has to be done by developer without any assistance from GETCO/GUVNL 20
State Specific Issues - KARNATAKA Target for 2012-13 is 604 MW. Difficulty in getting forest land clearances on Western Ghats retarding the growth. Formulation of policy for private wind resource assessment in consultation with C-WET. Purchase of private land by developer not allowed Procedure for conversion to Non-Agricultural use- Alienation Procedure is time consuming Actual potential of the state not clear - required to have long-term plan for development of the sector. To take up repowering of the old sites in the state. 21
State Specific Issues - KERALA In potential sites, availability of land a major concern since most of them fall in tea or coffee estates. Grid network in estate areas very weak, investments required from state government to strengthen the connectivity State has to take pro-active approach to attract private investors Delays in power evacuation clearances from KSEB 22
State Specific Issues - MADHYA PRADESH Target for 2012-13 is 250 MW and for 2013-14 its 590 MW. Proposal for licensing of tribal land at the value of land for a fixed period. Has prepared detailed guidelines for implementation of projects giving time lines Time taken for various clearances long To carry out survey for re-powering of old sites Working on a model of repowering where the owner of the old machines may be given share as per the average generation of the old machines for the remaining period of the otherwise replaced project. 23
State Specific Issues - MAHARASHTRA Target for 12 th Plan is 1800 MW Only slight addition to the potential when revised from 50 m to 80 m mast height. Difficulty in getting forest clearance in the buffer area at Tiger Reserves. Different rates of Gram Panchayat Tax and Right of Way charges (for erection of poles) across the state which should be uniform. Sharing of Capital Subsidy from State Government, between MSEDCL and developer. Issue of Mining Royalty levied on Wind Power developers. 24
State Specific Issues - RAJASTHAN With most of the high wind potential areas utilized by developers, fresh studies are required to be carried at new sites on higher altitude Grid needs to be strengthened in Jaisalmer region to support the development of more wind power projects A few instances of delay in payments have been reported, which needs to be improved 25
State Specific Issues - TAMIL NADU Target for 2012-13 is 1000 MW and for 12 th Plan it is 5000 MW Target for Repowering is 80 MW During peak windy season, many wind power projects were disconnected from grid, which caused a lot of wastage of power A few instances of delay in payments have been reported, which needs to be addressed. TNEB has constraints in providing power evacuation facilities to the new developers 26
