MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES (SHRI M. KANNAPPAN)
(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) & (f) : A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.
STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.491 FOR 24.04. 2003 ON `ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY NCES`
(a), (b) & (c): The installed power generation capacity from non-conventional energy projects based on wind, small hydro, biomass and waste-to-energy projects was 2674 MW, 3002 MW, 3457 MW and 3875 MW, as on 31.3.2000, 31.3.2001, 31.3.2002 and 31.3.2003 respectively. The generation of electricity from these sources has progressively increased in consonance with the annual increase in installed capacity. The annual electricity production has been estimated at more than 8.5 billion units during 2002-03. The State-wise break-up is given in the Annexure.
(d)&(e): A total power generating capacity of 1174 MW based on non-conventional energy sources has already been installed in Tamil Nadu, as on 31.03.2003. Projects of about 115 MW comprising bagasse cogeneration, biomass power, small hydro, waste-to-energy and biomass gasifier projects are under construction in the State; and, 60 MW wind power capacity is planned to be added during the current year. Further, the State Government propose to promote biomass power projects of about 300 MW capacity in the next two years using locally available biomass in various districts. Under the proposed biomass power programme of the State Government, no proposal has so far been received or is pending with Government.
(f): The steps taken to promote electricity production from non-conventional energy sources include provision of Central Financial Assistance in the form of capital subsidy or interest subsidy depending upon the type of project; fiscal incentives such as 80% accelerated depreciation and concessional duties and taxes; and, term loans from Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency. The State Government have introduced a policy for power generation from non-conventional energy sources.
