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

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.

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.

(15)

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

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

Information, Training & Commercial Service Unit Solar Radiation Resource Assessment

(18)

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

(19)

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

State Specific Issues -

GUJARAT

Target for 2012-13 is 300 MW and for 12th _{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

(21)

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.

(22)

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

(23)

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.

(24)

State Specific Issues -

MAHARASHTRA

Target for 12th _{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.

(25)

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

State Specific Issues -

TAMIL NADU

Target for 2012-13 is 1000 MW and for 12th _{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
