India's
power minister Piyush Goyal has announced that more than 22 GW of new solar PV capacity has been agreed
across the country as part of Batch I and Batch II of Phase I of the Jawaharlal
Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM).
There
will also be new grid connected PV projects
coming online under Batch I, Phase II of the JNNSM as the program powers ahead
with its solar deployment goals.
A
total of 12 Indian states will share this new 22 GW load, which is to include a
7.5 GW solar PV plant that will be developed in the state of Jammu and
Kashmir.
Additional
large-scale projects will also be developed in Gujarat, Madhya, Pradesh,
Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Meghalaya, Punjab,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Odisha.
In
total, there will be 25 new solar parks added under the JNNSM scheme over the
next five years, all of which will be larger than 500 MW. In Gujarat, land has
already been identified for the creation of a 750 MW PV plant in the Banaskantha
district, while Madhya Pradesh officials have put forward proposals for a 1.5 GW
project in the state’s Rewa district.
A
further 1 GW plant is planned for Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh has announced
that it will develop a 2.5 GW project, which will be the third-largest single PV
plant under this latest round of development after the 7.5 GW plant in Jammu and
Kashmir and a proposed 3.7 GW project for Rajasthan.
"The
ministry has sent scheme for the development of solar parks to various states
along with MoUs to all the state governments against which 12 states have given
consent for setting up solar parks," Goyal told local media at the weekend.
India's
Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) recently determined that the
country’s solar power potential could stand as high as 750 GW should the entire
nation’s potential be fully realized.
Rajasthan
alone could develop a PV portfolio of 142 GW, said MNRE, followed by Jammu &
Kashmir (111 GW), Madhya Pradesh (60 GW) and Gujarat (36 GW).
Development
of India's vast solar
potential depends upon a number of
variables, MNRE warned, including the ability of each state to properly develop
its wasteland (brownfield) sites. Agricultural states such as Punjab, for
example, will find it increasingly difficult to identify suitable tracts of land
for solar development.
Currently,
India's cumulative installed solar PV capacity stands at a little over 3 GW. The
JNNSM target of 22 GW by 2022 focuses largely on the development of these
aforementioned “ultra-mega” installations of 500 MW or more.
