Renewable Regulatory Fund (RRF)

MechanismAs per Grid Code, complementary commercial

mechanism was to be implemented from 01.01.2011

On request of IWTMA, implementation of RRFMechanism 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 thestakeholders 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, AndhraPradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, West

Bengal, Puducherry and Goa.

14/27

Offshore Wind Power in India

A Steering Committee formed by the Ministry

A subcommittee of the Steering committee assignedthe 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.

14


15/27

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 costStates reluctant to go for new PPA

Realistic assessment of re-powering potential

Creation of an appropriate policy framework forre-powering including- Revision of PPA for

repowered projects, transmission of power to other

states

Divisions in C-WET:

The Centre for Wind Energy Technology is working

with the following structure

Issues in Wind Power Development

Forest land clearance, mainly in Karnataka

Creation of infrastructure for power evacuation and

transmission facilitiesAvailability of land

Potential land mostly acquired by manufacturers/

developersStates 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

19/27

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 on31.05.2012)

19


20/27

State Specific Issues - GUJARAT

Target for 2012-13 is 300 MW and for 12th Plan 2100

MWTariff control period and wind policy ending in current

year

Identification and purchase of land for compensatoryafforestation 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

20


21/27

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 allowedProcedure 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.

21


22/27

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 attractprivate investors

Delays in power evacuation clearances from KSEB

22


23/27

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 landfor 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.

23


24/27

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.

24


25/27

State Specific Issues - RAJASTHANWith most of the high wind potential areas utilized by

developers, fresh studies are required to be carried at

new sites on higher altitudeGrid 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

reported, which needs to be improved

25


26/27

State Specific Issues - TAMIL NADUTarget 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 powerA 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
