India’s Energy Challenge

In next 12 years India’s electricity requirement

to grow 2.5 times

Climate Change is also an important

issue

India is dependent on oil imports for 80% of

its demand

400 Million people still

without access to electricity

Electricity shortage

estimated at 25-35 GW

India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)

• National Action Plan on Climate Change was released by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 30th June, 2008.

• Eight Missions were envisaged on

– Solar Energy,

– Enhanced Energy Efficiency,

– Sustainable Habitat,

– Water,

– Sustaining the Himalayan Eco-system,

– Green India,

– Sustainable Agriculture and

– Strategic knowledge for Climate Change7

Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)

• One of the eight Missions under National Action Plan on Climate Change

• Launched by the Government of India in January 2010.• JNNSM is one of the major global initiatives in promotion of

solar energy technologies.• Mission aims to achieve grid tariff parity by 2022 through

Large scale utilization, rapid diffusion and deployment at a scale which leads to cost reduction

R&D, Pilot Projects and Technology Demonstration Local manufacturing and support infrastructure

Mandatory Solar RPO Mechanism

• State Electricity Regulators to fix a percentage of energy purchased from Solar Power under RPO.

• The Solar RPO has to begin with 0.25 % of the energy procured reaching 3% by 2022.

• This requirement likely to go up to 30,000 MW by 2022.
