Several proposals to set up windmills remain in cold storage Non-conventional or renewable energy projects, which have become the topic of discussion these days following the acute crisis faced by the power sector, have not come up to the desired level in the State despite their vast potential. The State is by far an underperformer when it comes to tapping the renewable energy when compared to neighbouring Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. This, according to experts, was primarily due to absence of foresight to exploit these sources for supplementing the power generation in the event of shortages.
The state government is spending a whopping Rs 2,000 crores to segregate agricultural feeders to cut transmission and distribution (T&D) losses. Experts say that by using solar energy for captive generation in between feeders, the huge T&D losses can be arrested. However, instead of tapping into non-conventional energy options, the state is spending a huge sum to separate feeders. The T&D losses are approximately 20 per cent in the state and the government has planned to segregate feeders at the cost of Rs 3,500 crore.
The Sindh government has signed a memorandum of understanding with a Czech Republic company, WIKOV Wind, for the generation of 50 megawatts of electricity at the so-called wind corridor in Gharo-Jhimpir
There has been a manifold increase in Karnataka’s energy deficit, from 2.1 per cent in 2006-2007 to 11.2 per cent in 2011-201. This can be overcome with exploration of renewable energy sources, says a report compiled by PwC on behalf of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The report, which was released here on Wednesday during the two-day CII Karnataka Conference on ‘Power: sustainable power through renewable sources’,
The solar power sector is gaining momentum in Karnataka ever since the government introduced a solar energy policy (2011-16). The government has recently concluded a bid process, in which 80 Mw (60 Mw for solar PV and 20 Mw for solar thermal) was allotted to developers at tariffs between Rs 7.94 to Rs 8.50 per unit for solar PV and Rs 10.94 and Rs 11.32 per unit for solar thermal projects. According to a report Renewable Energy prepared by PwC, which was released at the conference on ‘sustainable energy through renewables’, organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), here on Wednesday, Karnataka is the only state to have supported solar projects under the REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) mechanism.
Of the projected 30,000 MW capacity addition, around 15,000 MW would be from wind power India is expected see renewable energy capacity addition of 30,000 MW, with significant contribution from wind power, over the next five years. "At the end of 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), the country is expected to have total renewable energy generation capacity of 55,000 MW," Joint Secretary at the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Tarun Kapoor said here today.

A new study into the efficiency and reliability of wind farms has concluded that a campaign against them by Conservative backbenchers and others is not supported by the evidence. The report, from the
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet approved a draft law on Wednesday to accelerate the expansion of offshore windparks, a crucial part of a planned shift to green energy from nuclear. While Germany
In this new report Greenpeace outlines the roadmap for complete diesel elimination from the Indian telecom sector by the year 2020 through progressive action of massive renewable energy deployment and enhanced energy efficiency measures in its telecom network infrastructure.
