## ANSWER

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

(SHRI R. K. SINGH)

- (a)  and  (b)  The  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  has  planned  to  set  up  solar  power projects with cumulative capacity of around 14 MW with battery storage capacity of 42 MWh in Leh  and  Kargil  under  Prime  Minister  Development  Package  (PMDP)-2015  for  Jammu  and Kashmir.
- c)  and  (d)  The  Government  has  set  a  target  of  installation  of  175  GW  of  grid  connected renewable power capacity by 2022. Of this, 100 GW will come from solar, 60 GW from wind, 5 GW from  Small  Hydro  and  10  GW  from  Bio-energy.  The  Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable Energy has launched various schemes for achieving the target. Most of the projects in RE sector are  implemented through private investment. Assuming average investment costs of Rs.4,000, 6000, 10000, and 7000 Crore per GW for Solar, Wind, Small Hydro and Bio-energy projects respectively, an investment of Rs. 8,80,000 crore is involved for setting up of 175 GW capacity in the Country.
- (e)  The  country  and  year-wise  details  of  Memorandums of  Understanding  (MoU)/Agreements signed with other countries are given in Annexure. These MoUs/Agreements have overreaching framework for cooperation in Renewable Energy sector including technical cooperation.
