| Summary, etc | India has 150 GW of renewable energy<br/> potential, about half in the form of small hydropower,<br/> biomass, and wind and half in solar, cogeneration, and<br/> waste-to-energy. Developing renewable energy can help India<br/> increase its energy security, reduce the adverse impacts on<br/> the local environment, lower its carbon intensity,<br/> contribute to more balanced regional development, and<br/> realize its aspirations for leadership in high-technology<br/> industries. This diagnostic note draws on a detailed<br/> analysis conducted by a PricewaterhouseCoopers India<br/> consulting team in 2008-09 for the World Bank. The data are<br/> based on information on about 180 wind, biomass, and small<br/> hydropower projects in 20 states, as well as information<br/> from and norms of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy<br/> (MNRE) and the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission<br/> (CERC). The study is intended to provoke discussions of the<br/> feasibility of renewable energy development in India. Why is<br/> renewable energy development relevant? How much development<br/> is economically feasible? What needs to be done to realize<br/> the potential? Each of these topics is addressed in a<br/> separate chapter, all of which suggest a few implementable<br/> measures that India can consider to tap its economically<br/> feasible unharnessed potential. |
