## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  FOR  POWER,  COAL  ,  NEW  &  RENEWABLE  ENERGY  &  MINES  (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

- (a): As per information received from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the quantum of electricity generated  during  2015-16  through  Wind  and  Solar    sources  was  33029.39  MU  and  7447.92  MU respectively.

(b): The details of Schemes to promote generation of energy from Solar and Wind are as follows:

- (i) Scheme for Development of Solar Parks and Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects.
- (ii) Scheme for Development of Solar PV Power Plants on Canal Banks/ Canal Tops.
- (iii) Scheme  for  setting  up  300  MW  of  Grid  connected  Solar  PV  Power  Projects  by  Defence Establishments  under  Ministry  of  Defense  and  Para  Military  Forces  with  Viability  Gap  Funding  (VGF) under Batch-IV of Phase-II/III of JNNSM. (Jawharlal Nehru National Solar Mission)
- (iv) Scheme of setting up 1000 MW of Grid- Connected Solar PV Power Projects by CPSUs with VGF under Batch-V of Phase-II of JNNSM.
- (v) Scheme for Setting up of 15000 MW of Grid connected Solar PV Power Projects under Batch II of Phase II of National Solar Mission (by NTPC/NVVN).
- (vi) Setting up of 2000 MW Grid connected solar power with VGF through Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
- (vii) Generation based incentive scheme for promotion of wind power.

During last two  years i.e. 2014-15 and 2015-16, a total capacity of 5735 MW and 4131 MW have been installed for wind and solar energy respectively.  State / UT wise details of the installed capacity under wind and Solar Power is given in the  Annexure.

- (c ): Tenders of 20766 MW Solar Power projects have been issued. The details are given below :

PPA signed                            :  8482 MW

Lol issued                               : 3392 MW

Financial Bid opened              : 1930 MW

Tenders Floated ( in process)   : 6962 MW

The wind power projects are mainly developed by private sector under various modes including PPA, REC, captive use, third party sale etc. No Union Government project is under construction in wind energy sector.

- (d): A  total  of  315  MW  have  been  installed  under Solar Roof top Scheme. Power generated from these projects is being used for both domestic and captive use.
- (e): A capacity addition target of  4000 MW and 12000 MW has been proposed for generation of electricity by wind and solar respectively during 2016-17.
