To meet the increasing energy demand in a sustainable manner, it is essentish that the Goveroment of Puducherry formulates and implements ‘enotay policies that are driven by a clear vision and implemented trough the participation ofall sakeholdes. ‘This Puducherry Soler Energy Policy intends 10 creates & framewsrk that enables the development of sofar energy in the Union terttery of Pudoeherry. The Solar Energy Poliey-2015 framed by the Government of Puducherry which is appended to this Order is publis foe the information ofall stakeholders (By order of the Licutenant-Governor) S. Twasitu Ganararuy, Deputy Secretsry to Government (Envt) GOVERNMENT OF THE UNION TERRITORY OF PUDUCHERRY SOLAR ENERGY POLICY-2015 1.0 Preamble: LA, Energy is one of the Key driving fowes of socio-zconamie Jeveloprmeat and change. Long: term energy security is thotefore, an essential clement of sustainable development. The eapid depletion of non-renewable energy sources and the adverse effeets eaused 10 the globe by the process of extracting energy from fossil fuels call for urgent solutions while demand for energy will keep increasing, The universsity aceepted view is tha only enceyy fom renewable sourecs offers solution fora sustainable energy fare 12. The Government of India has launched the awahaeal Nehru National Solar Mission (INNSM) under the National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC) to promote ecologically sustainable growth while addressing Indie's energy security challenges. The objective ofthe Nationsi Sofar Mission isto establish India as a global leader in soler eneray, by creating the policy conditions for its diffision across the country as quickly as possible 13. The Union serritory of Puducherry comprises of four erstwhile French settlements viz. Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe snd. Yanam which o¢e unconnected regions. The Union story i fast developing with significant growth in socio-economic development, There Will be 3 continuous increase in eneray demand from ll sectors, To mect the increasing energy demand in a sustainable manner. itis essential thatthe Goverament of Puducherry formulates and insplemonis energy policies that are dciven by 2 clear vision and implemented through the porticipation ofall stakeholders. 1.4. This Puducherry Setar Energy Policy intends to ereate a framework that enables the development of solar eneegy’in the Union terory of Puducherry. 2.0, Solar Energy Potential in the Union t2erlcory of Pudueherry: 21. The four regions of the Union Territory of Puducherry have an average solar irradisnec of 5.66.0 kWh ! square meter / day and about 300 sunny days in a year, therefore, offering » good solar energy potential March 2016} 22. The wrban areas of the Union tervitory of Puducherry lené themselves well 10. the installation of (Fooflep) grid-connected solar PY systems 23, The rusal areas of she Union territory of Puducherry have execllent electricity grid penetration, therefore. algo offering good ‘opportunities for grid-connected solar PV systems, 0, Solar Energy Viston BI. Solar energy will be a major contributor 40 a fustainable encrgy furwre for the Union sercitary of Puducherry 32. Solar energy development will be part of an overall energy strategy that includes demand side management, energy conservation, eaergy efficieney initiatives, distributed renewable energy generation and smast grid 33. The Union ersitory of Puducherry will achieve, ‘orexceed, the solar cneray pontalio abligations as may be determined by the Joint Eleetriny Regulatory Commission (for the slate of Goz tnd Union Territories) (ihe "FERC") from time lotime, 34, In the Union territory of Puducherry xolae energy will be 2 mainsiccem energy source by 2028, 0.
