- (b) whether proposals are undertaken for research and innovation in the field of renewable and green energy such as solar, wind and thermal power and if so, the details thereof;
- (c) whether there are estimates on India's capacity to generate renewable energy and if so, the details thereof, State-wise; and
- (d) whether the current estimates will enable India to reduce its energy import dependency and move towards renewable energy in the upcoming decade and if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (I/C) FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY, POWER and MoS for SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a)  As per 19 th Electric Power Survey (EPS) conducted by CEA, the electrical energy requirement of the Country for the year 2031-32 has been projected at 25,30,531 Million Units(MUs).
- (b)  Under  the  Ministry's  R&D  scheme,  proposals  for  assistance  for  research  and  innovation  are invited from R&D institutes/ Universities/IITs/NITs/ Industry in the R&D thrust area identified by the  Ministry.  The  details  of  ongoing  R&D  Projects  being  assisted  by  the  Ministry  are  given  at Annexure-I .
- (c)  The  details  of  estimated  renewable  energy  potential  identified  for  various  renewable  energy sources in the country are given at Annexure-II.
- (d) At present, the Country is self sufficient to meet its electricity requirements. However, as a part of Intended  Nationally  Determined  Contributions  at  the  Paris  Accord  on  Climate  Change,  India  has undertaken to install at least forty percent of its total electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030.
