Fossil fuels – where do we stand?

Non renewable in nature.

20th century economy was driven by fossil

fuels. Recipe for ecological and

environmental disasters.

Adoption of inefficient technologies and

mindless wasting of our resources

Power Scenario at a glance - Karnataka

Actual Power supply position

Capacity addition under construction

Bridging the gap – Add more capacity –

A short sighted approach

Build more coal based thermal plants

4000 MW plant at Tadadi – Coal? Gas?

1000/2000/4000MW at Bijapur Coal? Nuclear

1000MW at 8 more locations in karnataka

Also add more hydro, wind, bio mass, gas, solar, bio fuel based additional capacity adding to another 2000 MW

Four 500MW gas based along pipe line

Adding more to inefficiency

1.

WIND ENERGY

Karnataka has 1368 MW wind installed

Additional potential is 13000MW

3000MW capacity addition targeted by

2014 at an investment of 15680 crores.

KREDEL will undertake wind resource

assessment and offer the sites for

development on PPP/BOOT mode.

10KW small stand alone systems will be

promoted

Cogeneration in Sugar Factories

535MW of installed capacity in 17 factories

35 more factories can add min of 1500MW

281MW capacity addition targeted by 2014

A one time grant of capital subsidy scheme

already in place subject to surplus power fed to the

grid

Mini, Micro & Small Hydro projects

416 MW of installed capacity

Additional potential is 3000 MW

600 MW capacity addition targeted by 2014

143 Pico hydel systems (less than 10KW)

operational

Proposed to add 10000 Pico hydels with

90% financial assistance from MNRE

Bio Mass, Bio gas & Bio fuel projects

81 MW installed capacity

Additional potential 1000 MW

300 MW targeted by 2014 by projects through

Rankine cycle/bio mass boilers, otto cycle/bio gas

plants

7 million tonnes of surplus bio mass per annum

Bio Diesel / SVO for power generation and

pumping of water for irrigation

Sustainable 5 MW plant from 3000 ha of energy

plantation

Solar Power-Thermal1.15 million 100 LPD water heaters installed

A simple 100 LPD Solar Water Heater saves 2000 kWh electricity annually

Bangalore is already saving 900MW morning peak load

A capital subsidy of Rs.1400 to Rs.1750 per Sq mt. of collector area is provided. Loan at 2% interest offered

Additional 1.82 million LPD capacity being added in colleges/hostels/hospitals/universities

Solar steam cooking systems will be enhanced to 673000 persons/day from about 20000 persons /day at the moment

Solar Photo Voltaic

23038 home lights, 7034 lanterns, 515 solar pumps, 2271 solar lights installed

21 solar villages under solar electrification program implemented

10KW/100KW power plants installed in KREDEL/ Vikas soudha in Bangalore

3630 street lights and 1452 KW roof top power plants planned to be installed by 2013

Country’s first 3MW plant installed

Two more 3MW plant in pipeline

Energy conservation & efficiency

Mandatory use of solar water heating system as

well as CFLs.

Mandatory to use ISI mark pump sets and power

capacitors

Promotion of energy efficient building design

Through these measures it is expected to save

1600mu per annum each year, a cumulative

saving of 8000mu per annum by 2014

Rural solar technology project

Covers 3900 villages in 39 most backward Tehshils for providing domestic lighting as well as other energy needs

Solar/wind hybrid systems

KREDEL and ESCOMs will be facilitators in each village cluster

Use existing grid or create new grids if needed

Panchayats and GOK will stand guarantee on user fee collection

Participating companies build up data base on current and future needs of energy, design develop appropriate eng. Architecture and device delivery mechanisms

Karnataka Renewable Energy Policy

2009 Aims at addition of capacity generation by 1000mw each year (to add 4000mw by 2014)1500mu per year each year energy saving through conservation and efficiency programs(8000mu/year by 2014)

Creation of green energy fund by levying Rs.0.05/unit cessRE development is to be classified as “Industry” and facilitate Single window statutory clearances

Constitution of state level empowered committee headed by Chief secretary for inter departmental co-ordinationEncourages private sector active participation

Bridging the demand supply gap –

Intelligent and integrated approach

Efficiency at generation, transmission, distribution

& application point

Energy conservation measures

Demand side management

Adopt the worlds best management practices

Make the sector more innovative, transparent,

accountable and responsible

Rationalized tariffs and better financial discipline

New and renewable energy options to be explored
