## SCHEME TO HARNESS SOLAR ENERGY

## 5267. SHRI BHAJAN LAL JATAV

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

- (a) the details of schemes to harness the potential of solar and wind renewable energy production in Rajasthan;
- (b) whether any incentive and assistance being provided by the Government to promote renewable energy generation in Karauli-Dholpur and Bharatpur Parliamentary Constituencies in Rajasthan; and
- (c) if so, the details thereof including the names of such schemes?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF  STATE  FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (SHRI SHRIPAD YESSO NAIK)

(a) Government has introduced various schemes to harness the potential of solar energy in the country including Rajasthan. The list of operational schemes are given at Annexure-I.

The  wind  power  projects  are  set  up  mostly  by  private  developers  based  on  technoeconomic viability of the project. At present, there is no specific scheme/ programme for providing financial assistance for setting up onshore wind power projects.

(b)&(c)  The  Government  provides  incentives/assistance  through  various  schemes  to  promote renewable energy generation in the country including Karauli-Dholpur and Bharatpur Parliamentary Constituencies in Rajasthan.  The names  of such schemes  and details of incentives/assistance are given at Annexure-II.

## List of the operational Schemes to promote solar energy

1. Scheme for Development of Solar Parks and Ultra-mega Solar Power Projects with a target of setting up 40,000 MW capacity. Under the scheme, the infrastructure such as land, roads, power evacuation system water facilities are developed with all statutory clearances/approvals. Thus, the scheme helps expeditious development of utility-scale solar projects in the country.
2. PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana for installing rooftop solar and providing free electricity up to 300 units every month for One Crore households.
3. Production Linked Incentive scheme 'National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules' for achieving  manufacturing  capacity  of  Giga  Watt  (GW)  scale  in  High  Efficiency  Solar  PV  modules (Tranche- I & II).
4. 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. The scheme is not only beneficial to the farmers but also States and DISCOMs. States will save on subsidy being provided for electricity to agriculture consumers and DISCOMs get cheaper solar power at tail end saving transmission and distribution losses.
5. Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme Phase-II (Government Producer Scheme) for setting up 12,000 MW grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Projects by Government Producers, using domestically manufactured solar PV cells and modules, with Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support, for self-use or use by Government/ Government entities, either directly or through Distribution Companies (DISCOMS).
6. New Solar  Power  Scheme  (for  Tribal  and  PVTG  Habitations/Villages)  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) and Dharti Aabha Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA JGUA) with a provision for providing off-grid Solar Lighting where electricity supply through grid is not techno-economically feasible.
