Stand alone power plants with micro grid for remote villages to
provide electricity for residential, community and commercial
purposes.
Small grid connected rural power plants upto 3MW for capacity
addition to existing rural grids. Such plants will typically be
connected to 11 KV grid.
2% interest for 5 years for solar thermal water heaters for domestic
use
2% interest for 5 years for off grid solar PV(5-100 kW installed with
energy efficient light) ie for SLS to encourage its use particularly in
rural areas.
• States (in this case Maharashtra) having a fixed tariff set up by the State
Electricity Regulation Commission (MERC) for solar power during the
period for which the Ministry is providing incentive, the utilities will offer a
minimum of that tariff to the solar thermal grid interactive power projects
in their respective states.
• The Ministry may provide, through IREDA, a generation-based incentive of
a maximum of Rs. 10 per kWh to the eligible projects which are
commissioned by 31st December, 2009, after taking in account the power
purchase rate (per kWh) provided by the State Electricity Regulatory
Commission or utility for that project.
• The maximum amount of generation based incentive applicable for a project
will be determined after deducting the power purchase rate for which PPA
has been signed by the utility with a project developer, from a notional
amount of Rs. 13 per kWh. In all cases the maximum amount of generation-
based incentive shall not exceed Rs. 10 per kWh.
• Any project that is commissioned after 31st December, 2009 would be eligible
for a maximum incentive with a 5% reduction and ceiling of Rs. 9.50 per kWh.
• The generation-based incentive will continue to decrease, as and when the
utility sign a PPA for power purchase at a higher rate. The proposed annual
escalations agreed with the utility, as in force, should be reflected in the PPA.
4.6 The generation based incentive approved for a grid interactive solar
thermal power generation project may be available for a maximum period of
ten years from the date of approval and regular power generation from that
project, provided the utility continues to purchase power from that grid
interactive solar thermal power plant.
• The Ministry may, at any given time, even before 31st March, 2010,
announce a new generation based incentive and guidelines, which will be
applicable to all such proposals / projects that have not been approved by
that time.
• The incentive will be released by IREDA to the eligible solar thermal power
project developer on quarterly basis.

The box type solar cookers including the cardboard designs will be sold
through outlets of SNAs as well as Akshay Urja Shops and private
establishments/ NGOs/ Cooker Manufacturers/ Women Welfare
Organizations/ Self Help Groups/ Institutions/ Petrol Pumps / LPG
agencies etc. The outlets other than those of
SNAs will be called as associated promoters of SNAs. The incentive to
the promoters will be disbursed after verification of the sale made and
the performance seen by the SNAs. Support may be provided to
reputed NGOs, Universities, Institutions, Regional Test Centres, etc. up
to a maximum of Rs.1.50 lakhs, towards organization of
promotional activities like publicity, cooking
demonstrations/competitions, seminars/ workshops,
evaluation studies, development of improved models, etc. on
solar cookers based on specific proposal received from them in the
prescribed format
Large area solar dish concentrator (ARUN-160) technology has been developed
and tested at a dairy for industrial process heat applications under a MNRE
supported R&D project to IIT Bombay and M/s Clique Development Private Ltd.
(CDPL), Mumbai. The technology has large potential in the industrial sector to meet
process heat requirements.
