Power Generation from Renewable Energy Sources

The total installed capacity of power generation from renewable energy sources in the country is 28,067 MW. Major contribution to this is coming from the States of Tamil Nadu (7849 MW), Maharashtra (4188 MW), Gujarat (4079 MW), Karnataka (3605 MW), Rajasthan (3353 MW) and Andhra Pradesh (1114 MW).

 

The Government is continuing various incentive schemes to promote the new and renewable energy sector. Further, It is proposed to introduce instruments like generation based incentives, viable gap funding etc. to further support the Renewable Energy sector.

State-wise installed capacity of grid interactive renewable power as on 31.03.2013.
