BACKGROUND India has world’s 5th largest installed electricity capacity

India is the 4th largest energy consumer in the world after the

United States, China, and Russia.

Energy demand is growing at an average of 3.6 percent per

annum

Energy conservation potential has been assessed as 23 percent,

nearly 25,000 MW

A 2012 report by the IEA estimated that nearly 25 percent of

the population lacks basic access to electricity, while electrified

areas suffer from rolling electricity blackouts.

Of the 1.4 billion people of the world who have no access to

electricity in the world, India accounts for over 300 million.

WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY?

Power Shortage

Rising Prices

Environmental Concerns

Depleting Conventional Resources

Abundance of Renewable

Resources

Sustainability

11

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Any sustainable energy source that comes from natural environment.

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat.

12

MAJOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

Solar Energy

Wind Energy

Hydro Energy

Geothermal Energy

Biomass

13

ASPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

It exists perpetually and in abundant in the

environment

Ready to be harnessed, inexhaustible

It is a clean alternative of fossil fuels

Energy that is derived from natural process that

are replenished constantly

14

REGULATORY SUPPORT FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT

Electricity Act, 2003

Promoted generation of electricity from renewable sources

National Electricity Policy, 2005

The Policy emphasized on the full development of feasible hydro projects and Laid down procedures for the speedy implementation of the same

Integrated Energy Policy, 2006

Emphasized use of Renewables for reducing dependence on energy imports

Rural Electrification Policy, 2006

The Policy recognized that non-conventional energy sources can be appropriately and optimally utilized to make available reliable supply of electricity to each and every household

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

16

WHY ENERGY EFFICIENCY? Convenient solution to bridge the gap

between demand and supply

Reduce capital investment in fuel, mining, transport, water and land required for power generation

Ensure sustainable growth of country

One Unit of energy saved, avoids three units of fresh capacity addition

17

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy Efficiency involves efficient utilisation of resources, which is a key to sustainable development

Improving energy efficiency increases productivity, significantly reduces the green house gas emissions

18

MODES OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Demand Side Management

Standard and Labelling

Energy Audits

Awareness and Practice

19

SCOPE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Generation

Transmission & Distribution

Consumption

Improved technology with more focus on research & development

Improved technology with better informed consumers to avoid electricity wastage

Efficient utilisation of available resources/products

20

REGULATORY SUPPORT FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY DEVELOPMENT

Energy Conservation Act, 2001 Established BEE, State designated consumers and

funds to promote Energy Efficiency

Energy Conservation Building Code sets minimum energy standards for new

commercial buildings having a connected load of 100kW or contract demand of 120kVA

National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency The National Action Plan on Climate Change was

released in June 2008. It outlines 8 Missions including National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE).
