MINISTER OF STATE FOR NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES (SHRI M. KANNAPPAN)
(a), (b) & (c): The Government have a wide range of programmes for the promotion and utilization of various non-conventional energy sources like solar, wind, small hydro and biomass throughout the country, including Uttar Pradesh. Details of major non-conventional energy programmes and the achievements therein as on 31.3.2002 in Uttar Pradesh are given in Annexure. The proposals received from the States are considered and sanctioned based on techno-economic viability and availability of funds. Annual targets are fixed under biogas and solar photovoltaic programmes in consultation with the State Governments. Targets for Uttar Pradesh for 2002-03 for the installation of 10,000 biogas plants, 6,000 solar home lighting systems and 100 solar street lighting systems have been fixed.
