North East: Priority

• The Government of India is paying special attention todevelop the North Eastern region of India• for the well-being of the people of the region

• for its potential contribution to the Indian economy

• to the fostering of links and economic relations with neighboringcountries.

• Special attention: dedicated and demarcated “Ministry ofDevelopment of North Eastern Region”.

Importance of Solar Power for North-East

• Annual Energy Deficit (2015-16):

• Annual requirement – 14488 MU

• Annual availability – 13735 MU

• Deficit – 753 MU (5.2%)

• Peak deficit (2015-16)

• Annual Peak Demand: 2573 MW

• Annual Peak Met: 2367 MW

• Peak Deficit: 206 MW

• Lack of electrical grid penetration because of difficult terrain

• High investment needed for developing transmission and distribution network

• AT & C losses of NER are very high about 51% as compared to all India average of about 31%.*

• Assuming 10% annual growth in energy demand, the total energy requirement would be more than 25,000 MUs by year 2021-2022.

• 8% is the solar RPO as per new regulation, which inter-alia means that about 2000 MUs of solar energy would be required in NE region. This translates into a solar installed capacity of 1500 MW.

*Ministry of DONER

Setting up of 500 MWp Solar PV project in the NE region could wipe-out total energy deficit in one and half years!
