## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (d) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 113 to be answered on 27.07.2023 regarding Ongoing Renewable Energy Projects

(a) Most of renewable energy projects in the country are being set up by private sector developers selected through a transparent bidding process. Private sector developers identify locations for setting up renewable energy projects depending upon availability of the renewable energy resource, land and power evacuation infrastructure, and certain other factors.

In  accordance  with  Hon'ble  Prime  Minister's  announcement  at  COP26,  Ministry  of  New  and Renewable Energy is working towards to achieving 500 GW of installed electricity capacity from nonfossil fuel sources by 2030.

The state-wise details  of  renewable energy projects  under various stages of implementation in the country are given in Annexure .

(b) As per information provided by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), 365.60 Billion Units (BU) of electricity have been generated from renewable energy sources (including large Hydro) during the year 2022-23 across the country.

(c)&(d)  Government  of  India  is  implementing  a  number  of  measures  which  inter  alia  incentivize industries and government  organisations to harness renewable  energy  to meet  their energy requirements. These include:

- i. Notification  of  Electricity  (Promoting  Renewable  Energy  Through  Green  Energy  Open Access) Rules, 2022.
- ii. Notification of Electricity (Rights of Consumer) Rules, 2020 to encourage Permitting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) up to 100 percent under the automatic route,
- iii. Waiver of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for inter-state sale of solar and wind  power  for  projects  to  be  commissioned  by  30th  June  2025,  off-shore  wind  power projects  commissioned  on  or  before  31st  December,  2032,  and  Green  Hydrogen/Green Ammonia production units commissioned on or before 31st December, 2030.
- iv. Rooftop Solar Programme Phase II for grid connected solar rooftop power plants, which has provisions for performance linked incentives to DISCOMs for achieving capacity addition in rooftop solar above baseline.
- v. Biogas Programme (Phase-I) which provides for Central Financial Assistance for small and medium sized biogas plants.
- vi. Launch of Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM) to facilitate sale of Renewable Energy Power through exchanges.
- vii. Incentive  scheme  for  Green  Hydrogen  production  under  the  National  Green  Hydrogen Mission.
