NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICY

To support and accelerate power generation from renewables to meet the minimum energy needs

Provides for supportive fiscal regime, single window clearance, leveraging additional budgetary resources from other departments, preferential prices for renewable electricity etc., of: Envisages Medium term (2012) Capacity addition goal - Wind Energy 5000 MW - Small Hydro 2000 MW - Biomass Power/Cogeneration 2500 MW - Urban/Industrial waste to Energy 220 MW - SPV Power 30 MW

RENEWABLE ENERGY PLAN 2012

Achieving a 10% share for renewables in the new power capacity by adding up of about 10,000 MW through Renewables.
Deployment of Solar Water heating systems in one Million homes Electrification by renewables for 24,000 unelectrified villages Deployment of 5 million solar lanterns and 2 million solar home lighting systems

Coverage of 30 million households through improved wood stoves

Setting up of further 3 million family size biogas plants
