## ANSWER

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

- (a): As  on  31.10.2016,  the  total  installed  capacity  in  the  country  from  solar  power  was 8727.64 MW and from wind power was 28279.40 MW. The State/UT-wise details is given at Annexure-I.
- (b): The  renewable  energy  sector  in  the  country  is  mainly  driven  by  private  sector.  The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has started compiling the renewable energy generation data from 2014-15 onwards.

The  State/UT-wise  quantum  of  energy  produced  from  wind  and  solar  energy  projects  during 2014-15, 2015-16 and the current year (till 30.09.2016) is given at Annexure-II.

(c): The State/UT-wise budgetary allocation is not made under various schemes/programmes for  solar  and  wind  energy.  However,  details  of  amount  released  by  the  Ministry  of  New  & Renewable  Energy  (MNRE)  for  installation  of  solar  and  wind  energy  projects  in  different States/UTs during the last three years and the current year (till 31.10.2016) are given below:-
