## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (e) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 70 (Priority No. 10 th  ) to be answered on 21.07.2022 regarding SETTING UP OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PLANTS

(a)to(e) Most of renewable energy projects including bio-gas, bio-diesel and solar energy plants in the country are being set up by private sector developers or individuals from various States including Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.

For inter-alia harnessing the potential of Biogas in the country, following schemes have been implemented upto 31.03.2021:

- I. New National Biogas and Organic Manure Programme (NNBOMP);
- II. Biogas based Power Generation (Off-grid) and Thermal energy application Programme (BPGTP); and
- III. Programme  on  Energy  from  Urban,  Industrial,  Agricultural  Wastes  /Residues  and Municipal Solid Waste.

The  above-mentioned schemes  were valid till 31.03.2021 and have been continued subsequently for meeting only the committed liabilities till 2025-26.

Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas does not invite any proposals for setting up of Biodiesel plants in the country. However, to promote the production of biodiesel from Used Cooking Oil (UCO), Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) has been issuing Expression of Interest (EOI) for procurement of biodiesel produced from UCO. The details of the Letter of Intents (LOIs) issued by the OMCs against these EOIs are as are given as below:

| State          |   LOI Issued |
|----------------|--------------|
| Madhya Pradesh |            1 |
| Uttar Pradesh  |           10 |
| Maharashtra    |            1 |
| Rest of India  |           30 |

For harnessing the potential of solar energy in the country, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing Scheme for Development of solar parks and Ultra-mega Solar Power Projects with a target of setting up 40,000 MW capacity. There are no pending proposals under the Solar Park Scheme.

The State wise list of bio-gas and solar energy parks approved during the last three years and the current year is given at Annexure-I.

The Ministry has also been implementing the following solar sector schemes:

- I. Rooftop Solar Programme-Phase II for grid connected solar rooftop power plants. Under  this  Programme,  subsidy  is  provided  for  residential  sector  and  performance linked incentives to DISCOMs for achieving capacity addition in rooftop solar over the level  of  the  last  year.  Based  on  the  proposal  received  from  various  Electricity Distribution utilities of various States /UTs, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has allocated 3078 MW capacity of grid connected rooftop solar programme during the last  three  years  including  the  current  year  upto  30.06.2022.  Against  the  allocated 3078MW capacity, around 1385 MW has been installed in various States/UTs. State-

wise Capacity allocated and installed during the last three years and the current year is given at Annexure-II .

- II. PM-KUSUM Scheme to promote small Grid Connected Solar Energy Power Plants, stand-alone  solar  powered  agricultural  pumps  and  solarisation  of  existing  grid connected agricultural pumps. State-wise Sanctioned quantity and installed during the last three years and the current year are given at Annexure-III . The States can send their demands under various components throughout the year and based on the demand received from them, the quantities are sanctioned after the approval of the screening committee.
- III. A  project  for  the  'Installation  of  grid  connected  solar  project  &  various  off-grid applications for 100% Solarization of Konark Sun Temple & Konark Town' was issued on 19.05.2020 under the high visibility program of MNRE, GoI.
- IV. A project for setting up of solar PV capacity of 20 MWac/ 50 MWp with battery storage of  50  MWh  was  sanctioned  on  08.11.2021  and  is  under  implementation  in  UT  of Ladakh.
- V. CPSU Scheme Phase-II: Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme PhaseII  (Government  Producer  Scheme)  for  setting  up  12,000  MW  grid-connected  Solar Photovoltaic  (PV)  Power  Projects  by  Government  Producers  with  Viability  Gap Funding (VGF) support, for self-use or use by Government/ Government entities, either directly  or  through  Distribution  Companies  (DISCOMS).  Under  the  Scheme, interested bidders participate in the bidding conducted by the respective Scheme Implementing Agencies and accordingly award of project capacities takes place. MNRE does not invite proposals for approval under the said Schemes.
- VI. Scheme for Solarisation of Modhera: Administrative approval for this Scheme was issued  on  19.03.2020.  The  Scheme  envisaged  solarisation  of  Modhera  through installation of following renewable energy installations:
6.  6 MW Grid Connected Ground Mounted Solar PV Power Plant
7.  271 Nos. x 1KW Rooftop Solar Systems on Residential buildings
8.  100 kW Rooftop Solar PV Systems on Govt. buildings
9.  15 MWh, 6 MW, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
10.  Smart Energy Components
- VII. Scheme  for  Setting  up  of  Distributed  Grid-Connected  Solar  PV  Power Projects in Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands: Under the scheme on  22.07.2020,  MNRE sanctioned to Solar Energy Corporation of  India  Limited,  a project  for  setting  up  of  1.95  MW  Solar  PV  plant  with  2.15  MWh  Battery  Energy Storage System (BESS) on ground at four islands in Lakshadweep Islands. The Scheme is closed for new sanctions after 31.03.2021.

Sanctions given under Rooftop Solar Programme- Phase II and PM-KUSUM Scheme cover the States of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
