2050. It is estimated that with just 5-15% desert wasteland utilization, about 315 GW
potential (primarily Solar) can be developed. A comprehensive plan to facilitate
generation and grid interconnection has been developed.
A study for Rooftop Solar PV in Delhi has been brought out as the Report on Green
Delhi where a total potential of 2272 MWp has been identified for residential,
commercial and metro rail premises.
POWERGRID has also taken initiatives to gain in-house experience in RE and enabling
technologies. With 50 kWp solar PV already functional at Manesar and 15 kWp at
Corporate Centre, another 50 kWp system is being developed at Manesar as a part of
POWERGRIDs endeavors towards RE development. The scheme for Net-metering has
already been implemented at Puducherry Smart Grid Pilot project for RE integration at
distribution level. Also a pilot project on three different technologies of battery energy
storage systems of 500kW, 250kWh each is being carried out by POWERGRID at
Puducherry, in order to be prepared for the technical intricacies of battery based
balancing mechanisms. As an effort for promoting awareness towards green energy,
distribution of solar based products (Bag, cap, torch & lantern) on no-profit basis is done
at the Gurgaon Corporate Office.
Government of India has an ambitious plan to establish 100 GW Solar and 65 GW Wind
generation in next five years. Solar capacity targets of 100 GW by 2021-22 include
setting up of 25 solar parks (around 20,000 MW).
Balance Solar capacity comprises 40,000 MW Roof top
Solar PV and 40,000 MW through distributed solar
generation. After further planning, 22,000MW solar
capacity addition through ultra-mega solar power parks
is envisaged in twelve (12) states (Gujarat, M.P.,
Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, U.P.,
Meghalaya, J & K, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu).

Corridors Phase-II by POWERGRID. The ISTS network development for seven states
for GEC-II has already been taken up by POWERGRID.
The efforts that have been put in by POWERGRID have resulted in development of the
techno - managerial competencies, required to convert the plans for vast RE harnessing
in the nation into the actual energy that would soon reach our citizens at affordable
prices. Thanks to the proficient studies carried out in preparation of the comprehensive
RE generation and interconnection reports, that transmission infrastructure and
enabling technologies would present themselves to the nation for timely evacuation of
power from the fast upcoming renewables.
