Exhibition: Greenovation 2016
The single meeting point for all stakeholders in the sustainable development sector

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is the nodal Ministry of the Government of India for all matters relating to new and renewable energy. The broad aim of the Ministry is to develop and deploy new and renewable energy for supplementing the energy requirements of the country. The role of new and renewable energy has been assuming increasing significance in recent times with the growing concern for the country's energy security. Energy self-sufficiency was identified as the major driver for new and renewable energy in the country in the wake of the two oil shocks of the 1970s. The sudden increase in the price of oil, uncertainties associated with its supply and the adverse impact on the balance of payments position led to the establishment of the Commission for Additional Sources of Energy in the Department of Science & Technology in March 1981. The Commission was charged with the responsibility of formulating policies and their implementation, programmes for development of new and renewable energy apart from coordinating and intensifying R&D in the sector. In 1982, a new department, i.e., Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources (DNES), that incorporated CASE, was created in the then Ministry of Energy. In 1992, DNES became the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources. In October 2006, the Ministry was re-christened as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

At Present each State and UT has a Nodal Agency which is implementing the Renewable Energy Programmes in respective State/ UT. In addition MNRE has created three technical institutions namely National Institute of Wind Energy, National Institute of Solar Energy and National Institute of Bio- Energy. Besides two PSUs namely Solar Energy Corporation of India and Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency of MNRE are also executing the Renewable Agency programmes and projects of which IREDA is a Financial Institution.

MNRE has set a target of 175 GW Renewable Power to be set- up by 2022.

Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd. (IREDA)

Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) (est.1987) is a "Mini Ratna Category-I" specialized public sector financial institution under Ministry of New and Renewable Energy exclusively dedicated for financing renewable energy (RE) projects in India and has been playing pivotal role in developing renewable energy. IREDA has been maintaining its leadership position in Renewable Energy space for last 29 years and developing several innovative financial schemes for meeting the market requirement from time to time.

It has been profit making with successful business operations.

IREDA has been the focal point for attracting international finance in the Indian RE sector; multilateral / bilateral lending agencies like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JICA, KFW, AFD, and EIB prefer to route their funds through IREDA for renewable energy sector.

Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI)

Solar Energy Corporation of India Ltd. ("SECI") established as a Government company in the year 2011 under the administration control of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, as an implementing and executing arm of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM). SECI has since transformed, its mandate and expanded to cover all segments of Renewable Energy.

SECI is handling number of Government of India schemes for development of solar energy in the country- notable among which are the large-scale ground mounted VGF schemes under Phase II of JNNSM, Solar Parks and Grid-connected Rooftop solar projects. In a short span of time, SECI has taken solar energy to all parts of India and has built a national footprint.

SECI has achieved the successful commissioning of 670 MW capacity, spread across six states, through its 750 MW VGF scheme under JNNSM Phase II, Batch I. About 954 million units of solar electricity has been generated from these projects, and injected into the Indian power grid, powering countless homes and industries. SECI is also responsible for overseeing the development of over 30 Solar Parks, totaling 20 GW capacity, in various States of the country, aimed to facilitate ease of business for solar project developers. SECI has also played a major role in expansion of the rooftop segment, with about 40 MW of operational projects located in over 37 cities of the country. For all these schemes, SECI has released CFA of over INR 500 Crores in the current financial year.

SECI is now rolling out the next Batches of VGF schemes under Phase II of JNNSM (namely, 2000 MW and 5000 MW capacity) in several tranches spread across several states, such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and many more, in the form of State-specific tenders for projects located either in the upcoming solar parks or in an open basis. SECI is in the process of inviting bids from various Solar Power developers and it is expected to get commissioned within the next two financial years.

Energy Efficiency Services Ltd.

EESL is a joint venture company of four power sectors enterprises i.e. NTPC Ltd, Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL), Power Finance Corporation Ltd. (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) with an aim to function as an Energy Service Company (ESCO). The organisation facilitates the implementation of energy efficiency projects for Demand Side Management (DSM) to reduce the energy consumption in various sectors in India. To keep up with India's pace of development, meeting the increasing demand of energy becomes central. When saving one unit of electricity comes way cheaper than producing it in the first place, EESL has recognised a business potential in the untapped energy efficiency market in India. EESL has been the first such exclusive company for implementation of energy efficiency projects in South Asia.

Post a significant governmental push towards concept of energy efficiency, EESL is running successful energy efficiency schemes like UJALA (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All), Street Light National Programme (SLNP), energy efficient fan distribution programme, efficient buildings programme along with AgDSM, the agricultural pump distribution scheme. Various other schemes based on pan-India distribution of energy efficient commodities are in pipeline. All these initiatives cater to their specific domain to reduce the count of megawatts consumed in the country. This way we are able to meet the growing demand by way of saving electrical units through effective appliance efficiency.

Interestingly, EESL's UJALA programme (under Government of India) has been noted as world's largest LED programme. A simple act of change of one light bulb to LED at South Block Prime Minister's office heralded a movement in the entire country for considering the same change. Today, UJALA has been bringing energy savings of more than 5.67 crore KWh a day. Over 15 crore LED bulbs have been distributed under UJALA scheme, which is savings more than Rs. 22.69 crore per day in electricity bills. The UJALA impact is helping environment by reducing over 45,900 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

EESL seeks to unlock energy efficiency market in India, which is estimated to be at US$ 12 billion. This can potentially result in energy savings of up to 20 per cent of the current consumption. This is being done by way of continually transforming the innovative business and implementation models. EESL also acts as the resource centre for capacity building of State DISCOMs, ERCs, SDAs, upcoming ESCOs, financial institutions, etc. The uniqueness of EESL's programmes are paving the roadmap for making energy efficiency more accessible and affordable in India.
