## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR POWER, COAL, NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY &  MINES (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

- (a): The generation of power from various energy sources depends largely upon the capacity addition during the year. The macro level targets are therefore fixed by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) only for the capacity addition under various sources of renewable energy at the beginning of the financial year. The Central Electricity Authority under the Ministry of Power collects and maintains the database for power generated from various sources of power including the RE sources. Source and state-wise  details of power generated from various renewable energy sources during the current and the last three years are given in the statement at Annexure-I.
- (b): Generally,  implementation  of  various  renewable  energy  programmes  is  satisfactory.  However, some  of  the  hurdles  faced  in  the  implementation  of  these  programmes  in  states,  inter-alia,  include servicing  and  maintenance  of  renewable  energy  systems  in  remote  areas;  delay  in  submission  of Utilization  Certificates  of  grants  released  earlier;  non-compliance  of  Renewable  Purchase  Obligations (RPO); and non-revision of tariffs regularly as per Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) guidelines.

(c): The details  of  incentives/  subsidy  /central  financial  assistance  presently  being  provided  by  the MNRE under various programmes is given at Annexure-II

(d): All the major programmes being promoted by MNRE have an established mechanism to monitor the implementation of the schemes. The provision include   :

· Project developers provide generation data.

· 100 percent physical verification by State implementing agency.

· Periodic  inspection  by  the  officials  of  MNRE  and  Indian  Renewable  Energy  Development Agency Limited.

· Third party monitoring of the implementation of the projects.

(e): Renewable Energy projects are mostly installed by private sector investments. The developers are free to use indigenous technology or technology imported from other countries for improving efficiency and reducing the cost of the power.

(f): Various policy measures have been initiated  in addition to providing financial support to various schemes being implemented by the MNRE for achieving the target of  renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by 2022. These include, suitable amendments to the Electricity Act and Tariff Policy for strong enforcement  of  Renewable  Purchase  Obligation  (RPO)  and  for  providing  Renewable  Generation Obligation  (RGO);  setting  up  of  exclusive  solar  parks;  development  of  power  transmission  network through  Green  Energy  Corridor  project;  identification  of  large  government  complexes/  buildings  for rooftop  projects;  provision  of  roof  top  solar  and  10  percent  renewable  energy  as  mandatory  under Mission Statement and Guidelines for development of smart cities; amendments in building bye-laws for mandatory provision of roof top solar for new construction or higher Floor Area Ratio; infrastructure status for solar projects; raising tax free solar bonds; providing long tenor loans; making roof top solar as a  part  of  housing  loan  by  banks/  NHB;  incorporating  measures  in  Integrated  Power  Development Scheme  (IPDS)  for  encouraging  distribution  companies  and  making  net-metering  compulsory  and raising  funds  from  bilateral  and  international  donors  as  also  the  Green  Climate  Fund  to  achieve  the target.
