## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (I/C) (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a) & (b) A special provision of 10 percent of annual budget allocation has been made by the Ministry of New  &  Renewable  Energy  for  implementation  of  various  renewable  energy  programs  in  the  NorthEastern states. The Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is released on project to project basis. No state wise budget allocation is made. However, the scheme-wise details of budget allocation made for NorthEastern states during the last three years are given in Annexure-I .
- (c) The Government is promoting deployment of renewable energy in the North-Eastern states such as solar  power,  small  hydro  power,  biogas  plants,  etc.  The  state-wise  details  of  grid  connected  and  off grid/decentralized renewable energy capacity installed in North-Eastern states are given in Annexure-II .
- (d)  &  (e)  The  state-wise  details  of  estimated  potential  available  for  harnessing  solar  and  small  hydro energy  in  North-Eastern  states  are  given  in Annexure-III .  A  total  of  338.58  MW  of  grid  connected renewable energy capacity has been installed in North-Eastern states as on 30th June, 2018. Further, six solar parks have been sanctioned in North-Eastern states.
- (f) The state wise details of solar parks sanctioned in North-Eastern states are given in Annexure-IV .

Annexure referred in reply to part (a) & (b) of the Lok Sabha Un-starred question number 2536 for  2-8-2018  showing  scheme-wise  details  of  budget  allocation  made  for  North-Eastern  states during the last three years.
