## ANSWER

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

## (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

(a  to  d)    The  Government  has  set  a  target  for  installing  175  GW  of  Renewable  Energy  capacity ( excluding large hydro) by the year 2022 which includes 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from Biomass and 5 GW from Small Hydro. So  far  a  cumulative  renewable  energy  capacity  of 91.15 GW ( excluding large hydro) has been achieved in the country up to 31st December, 2020 which includes  37.47  GW  from  solar,  38.62  GW  from  wind,  10.31  GW  from  Biomass  and  4.75  GW  from Small  Hydro  Power.    If  we  include  large  hydro  which  is  also  Renewable  Energy  the  total  installed renewable energy capacity as on 31.12.2020 becomes 136.95 GW.

The measures taken  by the Government to increase the production of the clean energy across all states in the country interalia  include:

- permitting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) up to 100 percent under the automatic route,
- waiver of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges and losses for inter-state sale of solar and wind power for projects to be commissioned by 30 th June 2023,
- declaration of trajectory for Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) up to the year 2022,
- setting up of Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Parks to provide land  and transmission on plug and play basis,
- Schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM), Solar Rooftop Phase II, 12000 MW CPSU Scheme Phase II, etc,
- laying of new transmission lines and creating new sub-station capacity under the Green Energy Corridor Scheme for evacuation of renewable power,
- notification of standards for deployment of solar photovoltaic system/devises,
- setting up of Project Development Cell for attracting and facilitating investments,
- Standard Bidding Guidelines for tariff based competitive bidding process for procurement of Power from Grid Connected Solar PV and Wind Projects, wherein adequate provisions have been made to protect  Power Purchase Agreements.
- Government has issued orders that power shall be dispatched against Letter of Credit(LC) or advance payment to ensure timely payment by Distribution Licensees to RE generators.
- (e) The details of state-wise and source-wise renewable energy capacity ( excluding large hydro) installed in the country during the last three years and current year (upto December 2020) are given in the Annexure .
