Solar Boom in IndiaSolar Boom in India
- By Mr. Vikas Luthra
2. India is one of the few countries with long days and plenty of
sunshine, especially in the Thar Desert region. Abundant
solar energy available, is suitable for harnessing solar
energy for a number of applications.
The western states of the country are naturally gifted with
high solar incidence.
In areas with similar intensity of solar radiation, solar energy
could be easily harnessed. Solar thermal energy is being
used in India for heating water for both industrial and
domestic purposes.
India is among top 5 destinations worldwide for solar energy
development as per Ernst & Young’s renewable energy
attractiveness index.
India has a great potential to generate electricity from solar
energy and the Country is on course to emerge as a solar
energy hub.
Most parts of India have 300 - 330 sunny days in a year, which is equivalent to over
5000 trillion kWh per year - more than India’s total energy consumption per year.

3. Energy Statistics of India
India needs to make renewable energy evacuation a high
transmission priority—as high a priority as
village electrification. This is especially true for large-scale
renewable energy plants. Dedicated funding should be allocated
as part of existing programs, such as the government’s rural
electrification initiative.

5. Power Generation Capacity?
India's power generation grew by 5.2 from
73.3 billion units in December 2011 to 77.1
billion units in December 2012.
- Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
At current usage levels, India’s coal reserves
are projected to run out in 45 years. India
already imports more than 15 percent of its
coal for electricity generation.

6. Energy Demands in India
Why is the Indian Power Sector Facing a Supply-Demand Gap?
• India has enough coal reserves in its forests areas. However, due to strict forest clearance regulations.
•The quality of coal is not up to the grade which is considered best for power generation.
•Coal India Limited -a public sector company, it has a monopoly in the market. Growth in supply by Coal.
•Production of gas in the Krishna Godavari (KG–D6) basin has also dropped by more than 60% from two years ago. It has resulted in lower or no power
generation from gas based power plants.
•Severe droughts/or less rainfall has contributed to less water level in dams which has resulted in less power generation from Hydro power plants.

The Future of Solar Energy in India
By 2050, Solar energy alone will produce 1.3 times the
current energy production of the country.
By 2020, there will be cost parity between solar energy
and conventional grid power, This initiative will far exceed
India's plans for nuclear power generation and dwarf
current solar energy leaders in domestic market size and
export manufacturing.
Renewable energy ranks bottom of the total production
just before the Nuclear energy. The distribution of
energy resource like hydro power is skewed towards
North-eastern states of the country as 70 % of the total
hydro potential is located in the Northern and North-
eastern region.

8. Why Solar in India ?
Solar is the most secure of all energy sources, since it is
abundantly available in India. With crippling electricity
shortages, the price of electricity traded internally touched
Rs. 7 a unit for base loads and Rs. 8.50 during peak periods.
The 12th Plan envisages 29,800 megawatts (MW) in capacity
addition through renewable sources. The Jawaharlal Nehru
National Solar Mission, launched in 2010, anticipates that
grid parity will be achieved by 2022 and parity with coal-
based thermal power by 2030.
The lack of access to energy is a key challenge in
India’s growth story, with approximately 400 million
people having no access to electricity and another
400 million having limited access. Solar energy,
with its inherent applicability of being modular and
environment friendly, can help in transforming the
lives of millions.

9. Electricity consumption per capita (kWh per person)
2012
India’s per capita consumption is one
of the lowest in the world.
The Integrated Energy Policy
Report, 2006, estimates that India
will need to increase primary energy
supply by three to four times and
electricity generation by five to six
times to meet the lifeline per capita
consumption needs of its citizens
and to sustain a 8 percent growth
rate.
To increase per capita consumption to 1,000 kWh by 2012. This
translates into a required generation capacity of 800GW compared to
160GW today.
