Electricity Scenario in India

Installed Capacity : 1,52,360 MW

(64.1% Thermal, 24.4% Hydro, 8% Renewable, 2.7%Nuclear)

GDP Growth Rate : 8%(Electricity demand increasing at 5%, supply demand gap

increasing at present about 12%)

Only 83.1% villages are electrified.

(56% households do not have access to electricity)

Per capita consumption is 704 kWh/year

In order to harness full potential the state needs hugeinvestment.

In addition the state also encourages investment in themanufacturing of RE products. In the recent past Rs 400

crore (USD 80 mn) have been invested in the state only inthe SPV manufacturing sector. Some investments havealso come in the green Building sector and LEDmanufacturing units.

National Action Plan on climate change and National SolarMission will open up many more new investment areas inthe state of West Bengal.

Ministry of Power, Government of India has alsoannounced DDG scheme for Remote Rural India.Sundarban area of West Bengal is ideally suited for suchscheme.

The State has identified 44 nos. of remote villages inSundarban where 24 hours electricity will be available oncommercial basis through DDG mode. Rural ElectrificationCorporation has agreed in principle to support the project.

Technology : Solar PV, Biomass and Bio Diesel.

Renewable Energy could play a major role in India and inthe State of West Bengal since West Bengal is 97%dependent on coal based thermal generation.

Energy

E Act 2003 Section 86(1)(e) : The State commission shall promote

co-generation and generation of electricity from renewablesources of energy by providing suitable measures forconnectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to anyperson, and also specify for purchase of electricity fromsuch sources, a percentage of the total consumption of

electricity in the area of distribution Licensee.

Section 61(h) : The appropriate Commission shall, subjectto the provision of the Act, specify the terms andconditions for the determination of tariff and in doing so,shall be guided by the promotion of co-generation andgeneration of electricity from renewable sources of energy.

Biomass Rs 4.00 (9 US cents) per kWh plus 2.5% escalation

Wind Rs 4.00 (9 US cents) per kWh

Small Hydro Rs 3.60 (8 US cents) per kWh

Biogas Rs 5.00 (11 US cents) per kWh

Solar PV Rs 15.00 (33 US cents/kWh) with MNRE, GOI / Rs 11.00

(26 US cents/kWh) plus accelerated depreciation benefits(Under Sec-32 of IT Act)

Tidal To be decided on case to case basis

Tariff order issued by SERC which is under revision

Renewable Energy Tariffin the State of West Bengal

Incentives for SolarIndustry

100% Foreign Investment is allowed

Customs and Excise Duties: Zero or low customs & Exciseduty on most items presently used in commercialproduction of Solar Cells / Modules

Concessional custom duty and no excise duty on SolarThermal concentrator starling Engines, etc.

80% accelerated depreciation in the first Year

Tax - holiday for setting up units in backward and specifiedareas and power generation projects

Grant/Loan support R&D

Keeping in view the above the state has created a newCorporation styled as West Bengal Green Energy Development

Corporation Limited to attract investment in theRenewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Sector. The

Corporation is one of the most active RenewableEnergy Organization in the country.
