KARNATAKA RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY 2009-2014

1. Vision

10

To harness Green and clean Renewable Energy Sources in the state for environment benefits and Energy Security. To initiate energy efficiency measures in all sectors for sustainable growth. Mission: 1. To enhance the contribution of environment friendly Renewable Energy sources, to the socio-economic development and supplement rural energy needs through speedy and e peditious commissioning of sustainable Renewable Energy pro!ects. ". To create conditions conducive to private# public#community participation and investment in Renewable Energy power pro!ects. $. To achieve commercial viability and e peditiously operationali%e the Renewable Energy &ro!ects 4. To enhance the contribution of Renewable Energy in the total installed capacity of the state from 2400 '( to about 6600 '( by 2014. +. To conserve 7901 ') *+,, '(- by 2014 through the Energy Efficiency . Energy /onservation measures in all sectors. 3. Objectives:

1. 0evelopment, propagation and promotion of Renewable Energy sources

and Technologies. ". 0evelopment of Eco-friendly &ro!ects and 1arnessing of 2atural Resources to avail Green &ower. $. 3cceleration of identification, development and implementation of new Renewable Energy pro!ects. 4. Encourage the industries, in addition to sugar industry, with cogeneration potential to set up co-gen plants e peditiously. 5. &rovision of 6single window6 service for technical consultation, sources of finance and pro!ect clearance. 7. 0ecentrali%ed and micro level power generation through renewable energy sources to provide energy supply to agriculture, industry, commercial and household sector. 8. /reation of suitable environment for private sector participation in Renewable Energy &ower Generation. 9. R.0, &ublicity and &opulari%ation of Renewable Energy. +. To establish lin:ages with national and international institutions for active collaboration in development, demonstration and commerciali%ation of new and emerging Renewable Energy technologies. 1,. To Ta:e /oncrete steps for Energy /onservation and Energy Efficiency and /lean 0evelopment 'echanism */0'-. 4. Scope of the Policy: The policy will be applicable for the development of all sectors

of Renewable energy Sources including Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency. The policy is valid for a 5 year period up to 20 !. This policy supersedes all the policy guidelines"instructions issued in this behalf from time to time. The provisions contained in this Renewable Energy #olicy will be applicable to all the Renewable Energy #ro$ects. This policy will be applicable to all the Renewable Energy pro$ects sanctioned prior to the commencement of the policy and those Renewable Energy pro$ects in the process of development including already commissioned Renewable Energy pro$ects. %nder the policy& 'overnment has the right to approve capacity allotment 'overnment (rder

11

essential to become eligible for availing the benefits for the renewable energy pro$ects. %nder this policy& it is obligatory to sell the electricity generated from the Renewable Energy #ro$ects commissioned to the respective geographical ESC()s in which the pro$ects located& at the Tariff determined by *ERC& under a long term #ower purchase agreement. The policy covers the Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation along with +emand Side )anagement ,+S)- and Clean +evelopment )echanism ,C+)implementation. (nce the target fi.ed under this policy is achieved& a new policy shall be launched. /or Cogeneration in Sugar industries a separate policy will be brought out by the Cooperation department and the 0ndustries and Commerce department for comprehensive development of the sector. Similarly for 1io2/uels the 1io2/uel 1oard will come out with a separate policy.
5. Goals: The policy sets twin goals of *i- Renewable Energy power Generation and *ii- Energy /onservation . Energy Efficiency. 5.(i) ene!able "ne#$y po!e# Gene#ation: #resently Renewable Energy Sources contribute about !300 )% of energy per annum , .5 4- of the total !0000 )% available from various installed capacities ,5300 )6 including share from C'S- in the state. The energy demand is pro$ected to attain 0 4 growth. Committed to the green energy the state has mandated& vide '( 7o E7 2 3 7CE 2003 dated 2.8.2009& to enhance the upper limit share of Renewable Energy mi. to 204 in the total :uantum of energy. (ver the ne.t five years the energy consumption is anticipated to be around 3!000 )% per annum. To attain 20 4 Renewable Energy mi. the Renewable Energy sources re:uired to contribute 2500 )% by 20 !. This sets the tone for doubling the installed capacity of the various RE sources combined together. Considering the average plant load factor of various Renewable Energy sources ,25 4- this necessitates the cumulative Renewable Energy capacity addition of about 5550 )6 by 20 !. ;owever& the policy has a goal of commissioning !200 )6 additional capacity with accumulative Renewable Energy capacity addition of 6600 )6 by 2014.

0n the above bac<ground the 'reen #ower option for *arnata<a are as follows.
1. ". $. 4. 5. (ind power pro!ects. 'ini, 'icro and Small 1ydropower pro!ects *up to "5 '(-. /o-generation in sugar and other ;ndustries. <iomass and <iogas pro!ects.
