CHAPTER 2
Organization, functions and duties
2.1 Brief History of the Ministry:
2.1.1 The Commission for Additional Sources of Energy (CASE) was
established in 1981 in the Department of Science & Technology on the
lines of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Space Commission to
oversee the development of renewable energy sources in the country. The
Commission comprises of Secretaries of various Ministries under the
chairmanship of Secretary, MNRE and has the following responsibilities:-
• Formulating policies and programmes for the development of new
and renewable sources of energy;
• Coordinating and intensifying research and development activities
in new and renewable sources of energy;
• Ensuring implementation of Government‟s policies in regard to all
matters concerning new and renewable sources of energy.
2.1.2 In 1982, a separate Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources was
created in the Ministry of Energy and entrusted with the charge of
development and deployment of non-conventional energy sources and
CASE was transferred to it. In 1992, DNES became a separate Ministry of
Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES). This Ministry was
rechristened as Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in 2006
2.1.3 MNRE is the nodal Ministry of the Government of India for all matters
relating to new and renewable energy. It is charged with the development
and deployment of new and renewable energy systems and devices in
6
pursuance of the aims of energy security and energy independence.
2.3 The Ministry is headed by a Minister of New and Renewable Energy and
a Secretary to the Government of India being the administrative head of

SSS-NIRE: www.nire.res.in
2.6. Development Priorities
2.6.1. During the past two decades or so renewable energy deployment
has somewhat outpaced research and development effort.
Consequently, the country remains a net importer of new and
renewable energy products and services. This situation needs to be
reversed on priority in order that the current pace of deployment
cannot only be sustained but also further accelerated in keeping
with the growing demand for energy of an expanding economy.
Furthermore, current deployment has tended more towards
replacement of coal rather than liquid fossil fuel. The priority of the
9
country is to develop substitutes for liquid, gaseous and solid fossil
fuels, in that order.
2.7. Development Focus
2.7.1. Development effort will be made in close concert with corporates
(public/domestic owned private) and scientific & technical
institutions in order to make the domestic new and renewable
energy industry globally competitive and a net foreign exchange
earner at least by 2022. Development focus shall be on the
following:-
i) Technology Mapping and Benchmarking;
ii) Identifying Research, Development, Demonstration and
Commercialization (RDDC) needs and facilitate execution of the same;
iii) Standards, specifications and performance parameters of
indigenously
developed products & services to be at par or even excel international
levels and further to facilitate industry in attaining the same;
iv) Aligning costs of new and renewable products and services with
international levels or even lower and further to facilitate industry in
attaining the same;
v) Facilitating industry to obtain appropriate international level quality
assurance accreditation;
vi) Facilitating industry to become internationally competitive and a net
foreign exchange earner through (ii) to (v) above and related
measures; and
vii) Resources Survey, Assessment and Mapping.
10
2.8 Development Concerns
2.8.1 Development effort will be carried out keeping the following key
concerns in view:-
i) RDDC will be product development oriented and carried out with
active participation and involvement of the end user, who is the
consumer or RDDC out put. In formulating RDDC projects, the end
user will play a major role. Further, in laying down objectives and
outputs of RDDC projects, the end user will be actively involved
apart from ensuring his involvement during the entire RDDC
phase, including RDDC output appraisal. Where industry is not the
end user, the end user will be identified and made a part of the
RDDC process, as above;
ii) RDDC projects should invariably result in tangible and quantifiable
outputs, including patents and peer reviewed scientific and technical
papers of merit that are published in reputed journals apart from
product development and its commercialization;
iii) Inter-linkages and inter-dependencies of RDDC activity will need to
be clearly established so as to eventually lead the development of an
integrated system;
iv) RDDC activity in the same broad area will invariably demonstrate
improvement in outputs already obtained; and
v) Technology demonstration of indigenously developed technologies,
including technology validation under India conditions of imported
technologies, processes, materials, components, sub-systems,
products and services. Exemption to this condition could be given in
rare cases where technology demonstration involves dual purpose
and/or strategic technologies that subserve national energy security
concerns. Even in such cases, import will be restricted to critical
components only.
11
2.9. Standards, Specifications & Performance Parameters
2.9.1 The Bureau of Indian Standards would be assisted in reviewing
and updating existing standards as also to develop and notify
standards for new and renewable systems/devices for which
standards have not yet been laid down at par or even higher than
international levels. Guidelines for product specification and
performance parameters will be developed and institutionalized.
2.10. Industry as R&D Partner
2.10.1. Renewable energy technologies are at different stages of
development across the globe. In this connection, partnerships are
being forged elsewhere to develop new and renewable energy
products and services, including fusion technology. Although the
country would have to go through the R&D process mainly on its
own, beneficial international partnerships could be considered on a
case by case basis. Further, as the task becomes even more daunting
and challenging, R&D effort would necessarily have to be highly
focused, output oriented, time-bound and cost-effective. Industry, as
the end user of R&D, will have to be actively involved so that the
output of research and development is gainfully utilized.
Government will support such effort.
12

R& D Committees
1. Committee Composition
10.1 In order to facilitate faster approvals of RDD&D project proposals, it has been
decided to categorize project proposals in terms of their cost and to set up Committees
with different composition for each of the category for appraising and recommending
projects for approval of competent authority.
10.2 For the purpose of appraising and recommending projects of budget up to Rs. one
crore for approval of the competent authority in all areas of renewable energy except
solar energy (solar thermal as well as solar photovoltaics), separate R&D Sectoral Project
Appraisal Committees (RDSPACs) are being set up with the following composition:

projects and their early approval. Therefore, to meet the specific requirements of R&DD
projects in the area of solar thermal and solar photovoltaics especially in view of the
challenge of achieving grid parity as announced by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar
Mission, it has been decided to have the following composition of the R&D Sectoral

2. Procedure and Guidelines
11.1 Members cannot nominate others to take their place on the RD&D/ Project
Appraisal Committees. However, Financial Adviser, MNRE may depute Director
(IFD), MNRE as his representative, in case he is pre- occupied. Meetings of the
RSPACs and RDPACs would be organized by the respective Groups/ Divisions
depending upon the requirements.
11.2 As far as possible, R&D projects should be taken with industry as end-users to
ensure that they are involved right from the conception stage of the project. Such
projects should clearly quantify outputs that should be challenging and bench- marked to
pre-identified aims. In order to make use of the R&D capabilities of the institutions for
expansion of new and renewable energy in the country, core R&D Groups/ Centres
need to be strengthened so as to take up advanced research involving other
institutions and promote new and renewable energy in the country.
11.3 The Group Heads will identify experts in their respective subject areas for
seeking comments on the prospective RD&D projects and will get them endorsed by the
RDPACs.
11.4 Group Heads shall develop RD&D projects in consultation with the concerned
industry/ institution/organizations of civil society including NGOs and may also solicit
proposals through advertisements placed in newspapers and/or on the MNRE website.
The concerned group in MNRE may also involve an expert R&D organization in
evaluating the proposed project so as to generate good quality projects. The revised
format, as given in Annexure, will be used for developing and submitting all new R&DD
projects to the MNRE. The project proposals which have already been received in the
old format will, however, be considered in the same format.
11.5 As and when RD&D proposals are received, the respective Group shall
examine the same to ascertain the relevance of the projects in line with the guidelines of
MNRE. In case, the proposal is not found relevant or deficient in critical information, the
Group will intimate the PI accordingly. In all other cases, the concerned Group would
seek comments/recommendations on the proposal from at least three referees. In each
case, at least 2 referees should support the project. The measure of support should be
considered by a rating of 60% or higher by each of the experts.
48
11.6 For project proposals with overall cost exceeding Rs. 1.0 crore, an Expert
Committee would be deputed to visit the institution proposing the project to have on the
spot assessment of the capabilities and capacity of the project team, and also to have an
assessment of the available technical and administrative set up at the institution. A
presentation would also be made by the PI of the project to the visiting team. The Expert
Committee would submit a report to the Ministry for follow up actions.
11.7 In the cases when major changes/revision are suggested, the comments will
need to be sent to the Principal Investigator for the revision of the proposal
incorporating comments of the experts. The revised proposal shall be sent again to the
same experts for final comments.
11.8 The concerned Committees would consider RD&D project proposals and
would recommend the same to the competent authority.
11.9 Financial assistance for RD&D projects including the technology validation and
demonstration projects that involve partnership with industry/civil society organizations
should normally be restricted to 50% of the project cost. However, for any proposal from
academic institutions, Government/non-profit research organizations and NGOs, Ministry
may provide up to 100% funding. Private academic institutions, especially, engineering
colleges will have to furnish a declaration that they do not levy and collect donations for
admissions from the students at the time of applying for R & D grants. In case the
project is sanctioned by the MNRE and it is subsequently brought to the notice of the
MNRE that the donations are being collected, the grants would be cancelled; the
institutions will be required to refund the grant released with interest and such institutions
will be banned from getting grants from this Ministry. However, such institutions which
get donations can be provided grants up to a maximum 50% of total budget for the
project as applicable for industry.
11.10 The Technology Validation and Demonstration Projects involving industry shall
generally cover the activities taken up after successful completion of a lab scale/ bench
scale work either by industry and/or by lab/ institutions with a view to facilitate field
evaluation and demonstration of the product(s), processes, technology, system-integration
having potential to lead to their commercialization in the country. These projects may
also support technologies sourced from other countries for assessing their suitability and
adaptability under Indian conditions.
11.11 In case there is a request from industry for financial support in excess of the
percentage indicated in Para 11.9 above and up to a maximum of 75% of the project
cost, the same will have to be justified on the basis of expected time horizon for
technological maturity and commercialization and its long-term cost competitiveness.
11.12 Ministry may provide up to 100% financial assistant as core support to R & D
institutions for setting up specialized Centres of Excellence in the area of
renewable energy on the basis of recommendations of RDSPAC/RDPAC as the case may
be.
49
11.13 In order to facilitate procurement of equipment early, upto 50% of the total
assistance minus institutional charges/overheads would be released initially along
with the sanction depending on the requirements of equipment in the project. For
projects where equipment cost exceeds 50% of the project cost, higher initial
release may be considered by the Ministry. The balance assistance minus institutional
charges/Overheads would be sanctioned as per yearly allocation based on achievement
of aims and progress of implementation of the project. The final payment i.e.
institutional charges/ overheads would be released only after successful completion
of the project and review by a Monitoring Committee and on receipt of project
completion report.
11.14 Projects having approved project cost of more than ` 1.0 crore on completion will
be presented to the respective Appraisal Committees. Completed project reports shall
be posted on MNRE website and hard copy will be placed in the Library.
11.15 For all projects that are approved by the Ministry, the concerned Group/
Division shall issue the sanction order and make all releases of financial assistance
as per the policy guidelines. The project grant shall be utilized as per the “general
terms & conditions of the grant for R&D/technology development project” as per
revised Annexure, and the same be enclosed with sanction order for compliance.
Copies of all sanction orders would be endorsed to R&D Policy and Coordination
Division with a view to have consolidation of the information.
11.16 TA/DA as per entitlement and a sitting fee shall be provided to the members of
the RDSPAC/RDPAC at the rate which would be decided as per separate sanction order.
11.17 Policy guidelines will be issued by the R&D Policy and Coordination Group in
the MNRE and the database on all the projects sanctioned by the Ministry will continue
to be dealt by the Group. The Concerned Groups will develop the RD&D project
proposals and process them for their appraisal including organizing meetings of the
Committees and issuing approved minutes etc.

Solar Cities
Urbanization and economic development are leading to a
rapid rise in energy demand in urban areas in our country leading to enhanced Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Many cities around the world are setting targets and introducing polices for promoting renewable energy and reducing GHG emissions and the countries like Australia and USA are developing the solar cities.
Several Indian cities and towns are experiencing rapid growth in the peak electricity demand. The local governments and the electricity utilities are finding it difficult to cope with this rapid rise in demand and as a result most of the cities/towns are facing electricity shortages. In this context, the “Development of Solar Cities” programme is designed to support/encourage Urban Local Bodies to prepare a Road Map to guide their cities in becoming „renewable energy cities‟ or „solar cities‟.
The Ministry has already initiated various programmes in the Urban Sector for promoting solar water heating systems in homes, hotels, hostels, hospitals and industry; deployment of SPV systems/devices in urban areas for demonstration and awareness creation; establishment of „Akshya Urja Shops‟; design of Solar Buildings and promoting urban and industrial waste/ biomass to energy projects. The solar city programme aims to consolidate all the efforts of the Ministry in the Urban Sector and address the energy problem of the urban areas in a holistic manner.
2.0 What is a Solar City?
The Solar City aims at minimum 10% reduction in projected demand of
conventional energy at the end of five years, through a combination of
enhancing supply from renewable energy sources in the city and energy
efficiency measures. The basic aim is to motivate the local Governments for
adopting renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency measures.
In a Solar City all types of renewable energy based projects like solar, wind,
biomass, small hydro, waste to energy etc. may be installed alongwith
94
possible energy efficiency measures depending on the need and resource
availability in the city.
3.0 How do you identify a city for developing as Solar City?
The city is identified based on city population, potential and commitment
for adoption of renewable energy and energy conservation in the city
activities, initiatives already taken by City Council/ Administration/ Private
Developers/Industry/General Public in promoting renewable energy and
energy conservation, regulatory measures taken on deployment of
renewable energy technologies and their willingness to provide resources
and sustenance of activities initiated under the program. The cities may
have population between 0.50 lakh to 50 lakh, however, relaxation could
be considered for special category States including North-Eastern States
and hilly States, Islands and Union Territories.
4.0 Number of cities to be developed as Solar Cities
A total of 60 cities/towns are proposed to be supported for development as
Solar Cities during the 11th Plan period. At least one city in each State to a
maximum of five cities in a State may be supported by the Ministry.

MNRE Programme on “Development of Solar Cities” Guidelines for preparing master plan as per the prescribed format of MNRE
1.0 Background
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched a program on
“Development of Solar Cities” (http://mnes.nic.in/adm-approvals/Scheme-Solar-
cities.pdf ). The program assists Urban Local Governments in:
Preparation of a master plan for increasing energy efficiency and
renewable energy supply in the city
Setting-up institutional arrangements for the implementation of the master
plan.
Awareness generation and capacity building activities.
The program aims at minimum 10% reduction in projected demand of
conventional energy at the end of five years, which can be achieved through a
combination of energy efficiency measures and enhancing supply from
renewable energy sources.
This document provides general methodology for preparing the master plan.
2.0 Methodology
The master plan preparation process is divided into five steps:
1. Preparing energy base-line for year 2008
Energy base-line for the city is a detailed documentation of the existing
energy demand and supply scenario for the city. Among other things, it
consists of sector-wise energy consumption matrix and energy supply-mix
for the base year. The main activities in preparation of the energy base-
line are:
1.1 Sector wise (residential, commercial and institutional, industrial and
municipal) data collection on energy consumption (electricity, petroleum
products, coal, biomass, etc).
a) Residential sector: In the residential (housing) sector electricity is the major
source of energy for lighting and for powering home appliances (air-conditioning,
refrigerators, fans, television, electric geysers, washing machines, water pumps,
103
etc.), while, LPG, piped natural gas, kerosene, biomass fuels are used for
cooking.
Potential sources of Data:
Local electricity distribution company/electricity board/ State Electricity
Regulatory Commission for data on electricity.
Oil marketing companies for data on LPG, natural gas.
PDS /oil marketing company for data on kerosene.
Firewood/biomass sellers for estimation of biomass fuels used for cooking.
b) Commercial and institutional sector: This sector includes all offices, shops,
shopping centers, multiplexes, hotels, restaurants, advertisement bill boards etc
and institutional buildings like hospitals, schools, colleges, hostels, jails,
government offices, etc. The major sources of energy are electricity and LPG. In
addition, a variety of fossil fuels may be used for power back-up e.g. diesel
generators. In some cases, biomass fuels are also used for cooking and water
heating.
Potential sources of Data:
Local electricity distribution company/electricity board// State Electricity
Regulatory Commission for data on electricity.
Oil marketing companies for data on LPG, diesel and other petroleum
fuels.
Firewood/ biomass sellesr for estimation of biomass fuels.
BEE data on electricity consumption in commercial buildings.
Local chambers of commerce and industries for data on distribution of
different types of commercial establishments and typical energy
consumption in commercial establishments.
CPWD, MES, State PWD, Municipal Corporation, etc. for data on energy
use in government buildings.
State Pollution Control Boards for data on DG sets.
104
c) Industrial sector: This includes all types of industries falling within
municipal limits. Other than the electricity, other fuels that are used include
petroleum products (diesel, natural gas, naptha, furnace oil, etc), coal, biomass,
etc.
Potential sources of Data:
Local electricity distribution company/electricity board/ State Electricity
Regulatory Commission for data on electricity consumption.
Public sector oil marketing companies for data on petroleum products.
Firewood/ biomass sellers for estimation of biomass fuels.
Local chambers of commerce and industries, District Industry Centre,
MSME Service Institutes for data on distribution of different types of
industries and data on energy use.
State Pollution Control Boards for data on DG sets.
d) Municipal sector: This includes municipal services (water pumping, street
lighting, sewage treatment, etc). Here also the main source of energy would be
electricity.
Potential sources of Data:
Sample Local electricity distribution company/electricity board/ State
Electricity Regulatory Commission for data on electricity consumption.
Municipal Corporation for electricity consumption in its facilities.
Reports on energy audits of municipal services
1.2 surveys for understanding energy use patterns & efficiency of use
Data collection from secondary sources (as described in 1.1 above) may not
provide a complete information on energy consumption. Information on aspects
such as, energy consuming appliances, consumption patterns, consumer
preferences, efficiency of use , etc can be gathered through sample surveys.
Sample surveys may cover aspects such as:
Information on energy appliances/equipments used.
Energy performance indicators or efficiency of utilization
Reliability and cost of energy services/fuel supply
105
Consumption patterns and consumers preferences
Experience with use of renewable energy systems
Design and construction practices for different types of buildings having an
impact on energy consumption
1.3 Preparation of energy baseline report
Based on the collected secondary and primary data, energy baseline would be
prepared for each sector. As far as possible the secondary data should be
collected for at least 5 previous years, which helps in understanding the trends
and help in predict sectoral growth rates.
Good data is essential for energy planning and as the number of sources of data
is large, it is not easy for the consultant to collect all the data in a limited time
period. In order to facilitate data collection, it is advisable that the Municipal
Corporation should organize a meeting (or inception workshop) of all concerned
departments/institutions at the beginning of the project. In such a meeting the
consultant can make a presentation on the data requirements and Municipal
Corporation can identify right agencies that would provide data to the Consultant.
Municipal Corporation and MNRE should also write letters to all concerned
agencies introducing the project, with a request for providing data.
2.0 Demand Forecasting for 2013/2018
This step involves predicting the energy demand for 5 year and 10 year periods.
To estimate the demand, growth in energy use in different sectors needs to be
established. These growth rates are established based on immediate past trends
and future growth plans. Thus, the consultant would have to study various growth
plans which may impact energy use in the city. These include:
City development plans
JNNURM master plan
Electricity infrastructure/utility plans
Industry and business forecasts by local chambers of commerce and
industry
Planning Commission documents
Based on the past time-series data and information on growth plans, growth
rate in energy demand for different sectors can be estimated. These growth
106
rates are used for making future projection of energy demand in each sector
for year 2013 (five year) and 2018 (10 year).
3.0 Sector wise strategies
This step involves carrying out techno-economic feasibility of different renewable
energy and energy efficiency options for each sector and making a priority listing
of the options.
3.1 Renewable Energy
A renewable energy resources assessment should be done to identify the
potential renewable energy sources for the city. This would include assessment
of solar radiation, wind power density and availability, biomass resources and
municipal/industrial wastes.
The next step would be listing of all potential renewable energy technology
options. An indicative list of renewable energy technologies/systems is given
below.
3.1.1 Solar energy
Thermal Systems
i) Solar water heating systems ii) Solar cookers (Box and dish type) iii) Scheffler cookers for indoor cooking iv) Solar steam generating systems v) Solar drying/air heating systems vi) Solar refrigeration and air conditioning plants vii) Solar concentrators for process heat applications
Photovoltaic Systems
viii) Solar lanterns ix) Solar home lighting systems x) Solar generators xi) Street light solar control systems xii) Solar hoardings xiii) Solar street light/garden lights xiv) Solar traffic lights xv) Solar blinkers xvi) Road studs xvii) Solar power packs xviii) Building integrated photovoltaic xix) SPV power plants for decentralization applications
107
xx) Roof top plants for replacing DG gensets xxi) Solar charging stations
3.1.2 Biomass & Waste to Energy Projects
i) Power projects based on Municipal and Urban Waste and also on
industrial waste through combustion/bio-methanation technologies ii) Power projects based on methane available from STPs iii) Bo-mass gasification and co-generation projects in industries iv) Biomass gasifies based crematoriums v) Projects on methane utilization for thermal & electrical applications in
industries
3.1.3 Wind turbines for power generation
3.1.4 Miro-hydel plants
3.1.5 Solar passive architecture in buildings/housing complexes
Major components of solar passive architecture are orientation of building, sun
shades, double glazed windows, smart glazing window overhangs, thermal
storage wall/roof, roof painting, ventilation, evaporative cooling, day lighting, wind
towers, earth air tunneling, construction materials etc. Incorporation of specific
components will depend in which climatic zone the building is being constructed.
A sector-wise techno-economic analysis of potential renewable energy
technologies should be done. Both, decentralized and centralized options should
be considered. The goal will be that renewable energy should be able to reduce
at least 5% of the projected total demand of conventional energy at the end of
five years.
4.0 Energy Efficiency (EE) and Demand side management (DSM)
While renewable energy technologies would provide clean energy, EE and DSM
measures would help in reducing the energy demand. An indicative list of EE and
DSM measures for different sectors is shown below:
Municipal sector
Water pumping: Generally, there is a potential of 15-25% energy savings
in the municipal water pumping systems.
108
Street lighting: Energy savings are possible with efficient lighting and
control systems
Commercial and institutional buildings
Lighting: Use of efficient lighting and control systems
HVAC: Use of efficient HVAC systems
EE in new buildings: Energy savings are possible by following the
guidelines as given in Energy Conservation Building Codes (ECBC)
Storage: Thermal storage for peak demand reduction
Residential
Lighting: Use of efficient lighting (e.g. CFL and T5) and control systems
Appliances: Use of BEE star rated appliances
EE in new housing: Simple guidelines could be made/building bye-laws
can be amended to achieve energy savings
Industrial
Lighting: Use of efficient lighting and control systems
Energy efficiency in motors, furnaces, boilers, etc.
A sector-wise techno-economic analysis of potential energy efficiency and DSM
measures should be carried out.
5.0 Stakeholders Consultations
Stakeholders‟ consultation is a very important step in master plan preparation.
Two stakeholders‟ consultations are suggested (excluding the inception
workshop) -- one immediately after the analysis of sector-wise strategies; and
one towards the end to discuss the draft master plan. The participants can
include elected representatives, local research and academic institutions,
resident welfare associations, industries and corporate organizations, NGOs,
SNA, etc. Stakeholders committee formed under JNNURM scheme could also
be consulted.
109
6.0 Implementable Project Proposals/DPRs
The Master Plans should contain few good proposals for implementable projects
and few good DPRs that emerged out of interaction with various quarters. These
projects will be called the pilot projects.
7.0 Preparation of master plan
The outline of the master plan document as per MNRE prescribed format is
enclosed as Annexure-I.
