Dec 17 2009. The escalating concerns over global warming and environmental degradation have led to an increased interest in renewable energy resources. India is looking forward to achieving renewable energy generating capacity of 25,000 MW by the year 2012.
To achieve such a target, it is essential to put in place an investment framework which will attract domestic and international investors. In this context, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has developed policy incentives for Investors and IPP’s for Wind and Biomass power generation. These policy incentives will be presented at a one day Seminar on the 17th of December, 2009, organized by the Independent Power Producers Association of India (IPPAI), on behalf of Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) and with the support of IREDA and UNDP.
At the seminar, policymakers will provide detailed information on the latest MNRE incentives for Wind and Biomass for potential investors and IPPs. Regulators, ministry officials, and senior industry members will examine the implications of these schemes on various opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Key areas of discussion at the Seminar include:
- Generation Based Incentive Scheme for Wind Power Projects
- Transition from Accelerated Depreciation to Generation Based Incentive
- Developments in the Wind Sector - Utility and Industry Perspective
- Incentives for Biomass Based Distributed Generation
- Banking and Wheeling of Infirm Power
- Renewable Energy Certificates and Renewable Portfolio Standards
- Clearing Mechanism for Non-Scheduled Power (UI)
The Inaugural address at the Seminar will be delivered by the Hon’ble Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Dr. Farooq Abdullah. Other eminent speakers include senior members from Government organizations, Chairmen of electricity regulatory commissions, experts and industry specialists.
