PSU push soon for renewable energy
The ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) is considering a proposal to set up a company for generating power from renewable sources. The government is expected to be a 100% owner of the proposed firm and it will tap solar, geothermal, wind, biofuel and biomass sources for power generation.
This will be the first PSU generating power from renewable sources. So far, public sector companies National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC) and National Hydro Power Corp (NHPC) are primarily engaged into coal and hydel power generation, respectively.
“The ministry is examining the possibility of setting up a PSU in the renewable energy sector. There are public sector companies such as NTPC and NHPC that are stepping on to renewable power generation. We, therefore, would like to evaluate the proposal,” MNRE secretary Deepak Gupta told ET.
The idea behind the proposal is to have a dedicated power generation firm directly under the central government to tap renewable energy sources. MNRE has promoted a company, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (Ireda), that focuses on funding renewable energy initiatives.
The Standing Committee on Energy and Committee on Public Undertaking has endorsed the proposal. “It suggested that a separate PSU would bring more focus to the capital-intensive renewable sector and support the industry in a big way. A PSU would act as a catalyst and provide leadership role in exploring renewable energy sources and set up power plants,” an official in the government, who didn’t wish to be named, said.
""Renewable energy is definitely a focus area for the government as the country needs to tackle climate change while placing a greater emphasis on continued economic growth. As we have set no target for the reduction on greenhouse gas emissions, we must reduce reliance on fossil fuels and rather use renewable energy sources for generating power and other economic activities,"" he said.
However, the government is being cautious as the cost of renewable power generation is a major issue in India. “One has to keep in mind that power generated from renewable sources is costly in comparison to the power generated by PSUs in other sectors. Also, till now, it has been pushed through private investment. A proposal to put in public money in such an affair has to be examined before we step into it,” he added.
The gross installed capacity of grid-interactive renewable power in the country is estimated at 11,273 mw, which accounts for 8% of the total installed generation capacity in the country. While total power capacity is estimated at 2,00,000 mw by the end of the 11th Plan, the government has set a target of 24,000 mw to come from renewable energy.

Gujarat govt announces new solar power policy
The Gujarat government, on Tuesday, announced its Solar Power Policy, 2009, ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summit. The policy aims at tapping the vast potential for solar energy in the state and transforming it into an “integrated solar generation hub” of the country.
Under the policy, the first of its kind being introduced in Gujarat, the government promises a slew of incentives to prospective developers who may want to set up solar power projects in the state. However, the benefits of this policy will not be available to projects set up under the Union Ministry for Natural and Renewable Energy’s (MNRE) incentive scheme for solar power generation.
Announcing the new Solar Power Policy, Minister of State for Energy, Saurabh Patel, said the developers will be allowed to sell for 25 years energy generated from their projects to licensee distributors in the state under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to be specified by the state utility, Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL).
The government has fixed a tariff of Rs 13 per unit for the first 12 years for the sale of energy by those photovoltaic solar projects commissioned before December 31, 2010, and Rs 3 per unit for the remaining 13 years.
The tariff fixed for other projects commissioned before March 31, 2014 is Rs 12 per unit for the first 12 years, and Rs 3 per unit for the remaining 13 years.
Patel said exemption from the payment of duty will be given for electricity generated from solar power generators (SPGs) used for self-consumption, or sold to the third party or distribution licensees.
Under the policy, the wheeling of electricity generated from the SPGs to desired locations for self-use within the state will be allowed at a charge of two per cent of the energy fed to the grid.
A maximum of 500 MW SPG will be allowed for installation during the operative period (upto March 31, 2014) of the solar power policy. The minimum project capacity of an SPG, in the case of solar photovoltaic (SPV) and solar thermal (ST) will be five MW each.
The minister said distribution licensees in the state are mandated to purchase solar power as per limit/sub-limit specified by the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) from time to time. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) and Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd (GPCL) will be the government's nodal agencies for facilitation and implementation of the policy.
It is envisaged in the policy to provide clean development mechanism (CDM) benefits to solar power project developers. They would, however, have to pass on 50 per cent of the gross CDM benefits to the licensee distributors with whom a PPA is signed.
A four-member committee headed by the Principal Secretary (Energy) has been set up to approve solar power projects on merits.

Karnataka, BHEL speed up 3 power projects
Bangalore, Jan. 5 In a bid to speed up the capacity to meet the steep demand for energy, the Karnataka Government has advanced the development of three power projects (of 660 MW each) in collaboration with the Bharat Heavy Electricals during the 11th Five-Year Plan period itself against its original decision to take them up in 12th Plan.
The three projects would be located at Edlapur and Yeramaraus in Raichur district. Yeramaraus would have two projects of 660 MW each. The Government would be signing MoUs with BHEL in Delhi on January 12. It will also be entering into a separate MoU on the same day with the National Thermal Power Corporation for setting up a 4,000-MW thermal power project at Kudigi in Bijapur district, said the Minister for Energy, Mr K.S. Eshwarappa.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said the details and cost of the three projects would be announced after the MoU was signed. He said KPCL (Karnataka Power Corp Ltd) and BHEL would invest 26 per cent each in the projects. Boards of BHEL and KPCL had given their approvals for the projects, he added.
KPCL would be setting up a Special Purpose Vehicle with BHEL to implement the projects, said the Principal Secretary, Energy, Mr K. Jairaj. The State would be negotiating for obtaining 3,000 MW of power supply form the mega project for its own use.
Mr Eshwarappa said the Government has also decided to set up 270 MW hydro electricity project at an estimated cost of Rs 600 crore at Shivanasamudra.
The proposal would be placed before the next Cabinet meeting.
