Statement Referred to in Reply to parts (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) &(f) of Lok Sabha Starred
Question No.613 for 7th May, 2010
(a)&(b): The Ministry is implementing a number of renewable energy programmes which aim
at meeting various energy needs in rural areas. Of these, Remote Village Electrification
Programme focuses on an unelectrified village/hamlet as the planning unit for providing basic
electricity/lighting facilities to all the households. Those villages/hamlets where grid
connectivity will not be feasible in the near future are covered under the Programme. Locally
available renewable energy resources such as small hydro, biomass and solar energy are
utilized for this purpose. 90% of the project costs, subject to pre-specified maximum
amounts, are provided as Central Financial Assistance under the Programme. The Ministry has
also taken up a limited number of test projects on village energy security with the objective
of demonstrating viability of meeting all the energy needs of a village through locally
available biomass resources.
(c): Under the Remote Village Electrification Programme, financial support has been
sanctioned for covering around 10,700 remote villages and hamlets of which around 6700 have
been completed successfully. On the other hand, 109 Test Projects on village energy security
have been sanctioned of which 18 have been completed.
(d): As on 31-3-2010, a capacity for generation of 16817 MW of electric power had been
installed in the country, based on various renewable energy resources, which included 1344
MW from bagasse based cogeneration projects. State-wise/Source wise details are given in the
enclosed table.
(e)&(f): Private sector developers have played an important role in creation of
renewable energy based power generation capacity in the country. Their participation is
facilitated through technology specific incentives and promotional measures, such as tax
concessions, capital/interest subsidies, generation based incentives, term loans through
IREDA, etc.
