SOLAR
• Under the National Solar Mission, 3 major steps are proposed –
• (i) create volumes which will allow domestic manufacture,
(ii) support R&D to reduce material consumption and improve
efficiency; and
(iii) announce long term policy to purchase power.
The first phase target of the Mission is 1,100 MW grid solar power
capacity by March, 2013.
4

SMALL HYDRO
• The Ministry’s aim is to continue about 7,000 MW of small hydro at the end
of 12 th plan period.
• An estimated potential of 15,000 MW of small hydro projects exists in India.

ABOUT IWTMA
Founded in 1997 to bridge the gap between demand and supply of power and to
compliment other forms of energy. Umbrella body to represent industry in the States
and Central forums and participate in the policy intervention.
Presently represented by 14 members.
Elecon, Enercon, GE Energy, LM Glassfiber, Gamesa, Kenersys Pioneer
Wincon, RRB Energy Ltd, Regen Power Tech, Shriram EPC, Southern Wind
Farms, Suzlon, Vestas Wind Technology and WinWinD.
Founder member of Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), one amongst the
seven associations in the world, European Wind Energy Association, American
Wind Association etc.
Member Governing Council of Centre for Wind Energy Technology (CWET)

BACKGROUND
• Wind installed capacity 10,925 MW as 31 st January 2010.
• Members are able to bring to the table, state-of-the-art technology of
stall, pitch and variable speed
• Declared policy in 10 States, commercial WTG operation in eight states
• Range from 250 KW to 1650 KW – soon 2100 KW.
• Turnkey solutions to customers’ needs – one stop shop
• Effective operation and maintenance to build customer’s confidence
• Some manufacturers are into export of WTG components as well as
WTG exports
• Privately installed metmast to study larger and new areas of wind farm
development
• Private participation in bringing sub-stations

INDIAN – SCENARIO
• We are in the 5 th position in the world after US, Germany, Spain and
China
• The role of MNRE : Creation of Indian Renewable Energy
Development Agency (REDA), pilot projects undertaken by Tamilnadu
Electricity Board (TNEB) with Danish Aid (DANIDA). Wind Resource
Assessment by Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and
now Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET). Guidelines on
feed-in tariff, import of components, accelerated depreciation are
worthy of mention.
Creation of nodal agencies in almost all States. Renewable Portfolio
Obligations (RPO), evacuation, infrastructure by Electricity Boards
and Transmission Corporations.

Time tested legal systems.
ADVANTAGE INDIA
Only country in the world to have a dedicated Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy (MNRE).
No prior approval is required for Foreign Direct Investment for establishing of
wind turbine manufacturing facilities.
Dividends can be repatriated without restrictions.
Disinvestments can be done with prior permission from Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) and disinvestment proceeds can be repatriated.
Centre for Wind Energy Technology - CWET – Testing and Certifying agency –
autonomous body under MNRE.

KEY DRIVERS
• Profit making companies taking advantage of Income Tax Act -
Accelerated Depreciation.
• Advantage of Section 80 - IA of Income Tax Act benefit.
• State policy allowing generated power for captive generation -
arresting of power cost escalation.
• Carbon Credit : To play a vital role in accelerating the momentum .
India can earn 26.95 mn Euros for existing wind power projects
through Carbon Credits. Manufacturers are able to offer Carbon
11

RECENT POLICY – GBI
Generation Based Incentive
• Facilitating the entry of large Independent Power Producers
(IPPs)
• Attracting FDI in the Wind Power Sector
• The GBI is @ Re. 0.50 per unit of electricity fed into the grid with a
cap of Rs.62 Lakh/MW. The GBI is over and above the tariff.
• First phase of 4000 MW up to 11 th plan year end.
12

RECENT TRENDS
• Central Electricity Regulatory Authority (CERC) plan for a uniform
Renewable Energy Grid Code.
• All India tariff determination zoning the country based on generation
or winds (WPD).
• CERC announces Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Regulation – a step
forward for Green Energy promotion
13

SOCIAL IMPACT
• Uncultivable lands put to gainful use
• Higher value for not-so-good land–Rs.30,000 to Rs.3,00,000 per acre.
• Job opportunity for unskilled / semiskilled labour – rural areas – direct
employment of 1,00,000 persons. Indirect employment of 5,00,000
persons in Operation and Maintenance.
• Some contractors are today owners of wind turbines – height of
prosperity . Almost 90% has come from private investment –
therefore, less cost to the exchequer.
• Standard of living have gone up – infrastructure development of
housing, roads, hospitals and shopping areas, etc.
• Being employment intensive, the Industry already provides
employment to thousands of people with long-term Rural employment
to at least 30 people per MW installed
14

• Real Time Forecasting
VISION OF IWTMA
• Wind Resource Assessment
• Ignite young minds in schools and colleges on the role of renewable energy
and climate change.
• Work with institutions and universities on introduction of Certificate, Diploma
and Graduate courses in renewable energy more so wind – lucrative job
opportunities as green collar jobs.
• Energy management in Post Graduate management courses – importance in
the future.
• Interact and support government policies on component development for a
local production and save foreign exchange.
• Research and Development for indigenous turbines.
