y The total amount of economically extractable power availablefrom the wind is considerably more than present human

power use from all sources. An estimated 72 (TW) of wind

power on the Earth potentially can be commercially

viable, compared to about 15 TW average global power

consumption from all sources in 2005. Not all the energy of

the wind flowing past a given point can be recovered.

y In the early 1980s, the Indian government established the

Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) to

encourage diversification of the countrys energy supply, and

satisfy the increasing energy demand of a rapidly growing

economy. In 2006, this ministry was renamed the Ministry of

New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).

y Wind measurements were carried out at lower hub

heights and did not take into account technological

innovation and improvements and repowering of old

turbines to replace them with bigger ones.

y At heights of 55-65 meters, the potential for wind

development in India may be around 65-70 GW.

y For grid connected wind power projects under 49 MW

y Incentive of 0.5 rupees per KWh (0.7 Euro cents) in

addition to the existing state incentives

y Small investors can opt for this alternative incentive

Ten out of the 29 IndianStates have now

implemented quotas for arenewable energy share of

up to 10%

y The new GBI scheme is expected to provide a

significant incentive for new entrants into the Indian

wind market, and it is expected that a minimum of

2,200 MW of new wind power capacity will beinstalled in India in the financial year or 2010/2011.

y

Indias tremendous wind energy resource has onlybeen partially realised due to the lack of a coherentnational renewable energy policy

y

Currently, the promotion of renewable energy in Indiais mainly driven by state governments

y Though some states have set high renewable portfolio

standards, other states only have low or no targets, andenforcement is insufficient


24/25

y To boost investment in renewable energy, it is essentialto introduce clear, stable and long-term supportpolicies.

y A number of policy measures at national level must becarefully designed to ensure that they operate inharmony with existing state level mechanisms and do

not lessen their effectiveness.
