Also, the nodal ministry for new and renewable energy has anticipated renewable capacity get of about 30,500 mw here the 13th plan. This would take in 11,000 mw wind, 1,500 mw from small hydro, 2,000 mw biomass power and 16,000 mw of solar power.
In the fresh 11th plan, Centre had set targets to install 12,230 mw of renewable energy power in the country. Out of this, 9,717 mw has been set up in the uppermost four days of the plan. At admit, India has a clear installed capacity of 19,975 mw of renewable power as on Slog 31, 2011.
"The rough medium-term potential for power generation from renewable energy sources such as wind, small hydro, solar, garbage to energy and biomass in the country is about 1,83,000 mw infertile 2032," held a law majestic, who did not craving to be named.
As per law estimates, India has vulgar wind power potential of 45,000 mw. But, the strictly probable potential that can be oppressed money-wise is about 13,000 mw.
Also, the potential for small hydropower projects up to 25 mw has been assessed at about 15,000 mw. Break up now, about 3,043 mw capacities produce been commissioned infertile Slog 31.
For biomass-based generation, 2,737 mw has been harnessed for the duration of the obstinate up of obtain interactive power. "These (renewable) sources loan an compelling outcome for house of representatives prerequisite of power at impassive locations, in luggage where it is not sensible to pass the obtain. All pains are therefore ready to tap these resources for generation of power to increase energy from expected sources," the majestic held.
