WHAT WENT RIGHT
¨ MARKET ORIENTED APPROACH FROM THE START
¨ EXTENSIVE WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT DATA
¨ TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND A STRONG
DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING BASE
¨ QUALITY ASSURANCE
¨ CONDUCIVE POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR PRIVATE
INVESTMENT
THE BEGINNINGS OF WIND POWER
¨ The Electricity Act 2003 mandated states to promote generation from renewables- measures for connectivity, sale, % consumption
¨ Demonstration projects with public funding established viability
¨ Showcase of JV such as MP Wind Farms so that private sector could replicate the concept, making large projects through small investors
¨ States introduced wheeling, banking & sale policies
WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT & DATA AVAILABILITY
" 800 monitoring stations, 155 in Operation
" 75 stations at 100 m height in 7 high-wind states
" 8 handbooks on Wind Energy Resource Data
" Indian Wind Atlas launched
" 100 m WRA in 24 States (500 stations) Ø Project cost : Rs. 171.22 Crore
Ø 40% i.e. Rs. 68.48 Crore recommended by IMG under NCEF
Ø Scheme operated through private operators (30% by private operator, 40% from NCEF, 30% by State Govt.) in consultation with SNAs
" Heights > 100 m to be taken up soon
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECH & MANUFACTURING
u Cost of Indian wind turbines lowest in the world
u Capacity: 250 – 2500 kW; Gear & Gearless
u Hub heights: 41– 110 m;
u Rotor Diameter: 28 – 120 m
u 19 manufacturers with 52 models
u Export to USA, Europe, South America, Asia
u Indigenization about 70% u Rotor blades, gear boxes, yaw components, nacelle
cover, raw material for blades being manufactured
QUALITY ASSURANCE-NIWE &RRLM
¨ NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF WIND ENERGY, CHENNAI
¤ Wind Resource Assessment ¤ International Level Testing Facilities ¤ Standardization & Certification ¤ Type Approval of Turbines ¤ R&D ¤ Information, Training, Commercial Services
¨ RRLM COMMITTEE- Revised List of Manufacturers & Models Committee; approves models for wind projects
POLICY INCENTIVES-I
¨ Income Tax Holiday U/S 80 1A for 10 years
¨ Full Excise Duty exemption
¨ Concessional Customs Import Duty on specified
parts and components
¨ Exemption on Special Additional Duty (SAD) on
parts & components of wind turbines
POLICY INCENTIVES-II
¨ IREDA loan for commercial wind power projects
¨ Feed-In-Tariff by State Regulators
¨ Generation Based Incentive @ Rs. 0.50/unit, • over and above the FIT;
• ceiling Rs. 10 million/ MW,
• >4 years & <10 years;
• allowed to captive producers but not to merchant power
OR
¨ Accelerated Depreciation (80%) in first year
OFFSHORE WIND- THE NEXT FRONTIER
¨ ENTIRE EEZ AVAILABLE FOR OFFSHORE WIND
PARAMETERS FOR CONSIDERATION
q Within 20 km from sea coast/port q Average water depth < 25 m
q Average wind speed > 6.5 m/sec at 50 m height q Outside oil and gas activity zone, marine protected areas, submarine power and communication channels, air traffic, free from security considerations, cyclone zone and in low risk earthquake zone.
q Within 20 km from onshore substation
