BACKGROUND
As on 31st March, 1990 Renewable Energy Sources (RES) capacity was 18 MW and generation
during the year 1989-90 was 6 MU. Initially the annual capacity addition was very slow, but from
As on 31st March, 2012 the RES capacity

2008 onwards the contribution from RES is considerable.

was 24503.45 MW and generation during the year 2011-12 is expected to be 51226 MU (provisional).
The growth of installed capacity and the growth of gross electrical energy generation from RES since
1989-90 onwards is given below:Growth of Installed Capacity & Percentage share of RES in the total installed

Tentative

As on 31st March, 2012, the percentage share of RES in total generation capacity was 12.26%
which is expected to increase to 17.12% by 31st March, 2017. The percentage share of RES in total
generation in the country during 2011-12 was around 5.5 %.
The compilation as indicated below is provisional and would be updated on receipt of updated
information from State Load Despatch Centres (SLDC) and State Nodal Agencies (SNA).

Electricity Generation (provisional) from Renewable Energy Sources connected to grid during
the month of August12 and during the period April12- August12 (updated as per information
received in CEA up to 01.10.2012)

HIGHLIGHTS

The electricity generation from Renewable Energy Sources during the month of
August12 has been 5.28 BU.

The cumulative generation from Renewable Energy Sources during April- August12 was
23.56 BU.

The generation from Wind during August12 was 4.51 BU with a growth rate of 27 %
over same period last year. Last year, the corresponding growth rate was 31 %.

The generation from solar during August12 was 83.48 MU.
