DR. HEENA GAVIT

Will the Minister of NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Government has an estimate of the energy requirements per person in the country for the coming decade and if so, the details thereof;
- (b) whether proposals are undertaken for research and innovation in 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, State-wise; and
- (d) whether the current estimates will enable India to reduce its energy import dependency 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 19th Electric Power Survey (EPS) prepared by Central Electricity Authority (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 R&D scheme of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, proposals 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 supported by the Ministry are given at Annexure-I .
- (c) The state-wise, resource-wise details of estimated renewable energy potential (excluding large hydro potential) in the country are given at Annexure-II .
- (d) At present, the Country is self sufficient to meet its electricity requirements. However, as part of its Nationally Determined Contributions at the Paris Accord on Climate Change, India has undertaken to achieve at least forty percent of its total electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuels by 2030.
