Tamil Nadu has huge solar power potential

The Centre recently announced that the production of 20,000 MW of power through solar energy and floated the Jawaharlal Nehru Solar Mission
Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency has implemented various pilot programmes for wind, solar and bio energy. TEDA is a leading provider of wind power in India, with 61% of the national installed capacity. The first private sector wind farm in the country was set up in Tamil Nadu in 1990. TEDA now has the single largest area of private wind farms, with an installed capacity over 415MW. TNEB (Tamil Nadu Electricity Board) buys energy from the wind farm.

India is one of the world leaders in installed wind power generation with an installed capacity of 6,270MW at December 2006.

India is endowed with vast solar energy potential. About 5,000 trillion kWh per year energy is incident over India�s land area with most parts receiving 4-7 kWh per sq. m per day. Hence both technology routes for conversion of solar radiation into heat and electricity, namely, solar thermal and solar photovoltaics, can effectively be harnessed providing huge scalability for solar in India.

Tamil Nadu solar policy sets tall 9,000 MW target

Tamil Nadu government on Monday unveiled a new solar energy policy, which targets have 9,000MW of installed solar energy capacity in the state by 2023. While the state had around 2,200MW of solar energy installed capacity till 2018 end, it needs to add 6,800MW of additional capacity in the sector over the next four years.

Interestingly, about 40% of the additional capacity should come from the consumer (rooftop solar systems) category. This demands increased focus of the departments concerned in the state, since the past push has been for large installations. Further, while the state, on an average, had added just about 400MW of new capacity per year in the last five years, its capacity addition has to go up manifold to achieve the target

The Tamil Nadu Solar Energy Policy 2019 intends to create a framework that enables an accelerated development of solar energy in the state, which is the most urbanized and industrial in India. As per the Paris Climate Change Agreement, India has to add 100GW solar capacity by 2022.

Solar energy development will provide green jobs to a significant number of the state�s workforce and solar energy development will become available, accessible and affordable to all citizens of Tamil Nadu, with the sector expected to significantly contribute to reducing carbon and water footprint of the state, the state government said as its vision for the new policy.
