THE MINISTER OF NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY (DR. FAROOQ ABDULLAH) (a)&(b): Yes, Sir, some remote, rural areas continue to be power deficient. The Government is implementing Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY, MoP) to provide grid connectivity. Installed capacity for generating power is also being increased through efforts of Government of India and State Governments. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had been implementing Remote Village Electrification (RVE) Programme for providing financial support for lighting/ basic electrification in those remote unelectrified census villages and unelectrified hamlets of electrified census villages where grid extension was not found feasible by the State Governments and hence were not covered under the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana. Such villages were provided basic facilities for lighting/electricity through various renewable energy sources. RVE projects intended to cover all the households in the village/hamlets, including those in the dalit bastis of the village.
(c): There is no upfront allocation of funds for any State/district under RGGVY. Funds are released against sanctioned projects in instalments based on the 80% utilisation of amount in the previous installment(s) and fulfillment of other conditionalities. However, an amount of Rs.1589.48 crore has been disbursed by REC towards subsidy to the State of Madhya Pradesh as on 31/07/2013.

Statement
Statement referred to in reply to parts (a), (b) & (c) of the Rajya Sabha Starred Question No. 167 on 19/08/2013. (a): The Government has initiated a comprehensive programme to augment solar radiation resource assessment in the country including Ladakh area. In Phase‐I of this programme, one Solar Radiation Monitoring Station has been established at Leh through Centre for Wind Energy Technology, Chennai. The data from various stations is transmitted to a central server maintained at C‐WET and is made available to various stakeholders after carrying out quality checks. As per data recorded through one of such stations, the peak value of solar radiation at Leh reaches upto 7 kilowatt hour per day per square metre of area which is quite high as compared to other locations in the country. However, no assessment of the potential of grid fed solar energy in Ladakh area has been carried out taking into account availability of land area.
(b)&(c): As indicated by solar radiation data available for various parts of the country, several States, especially the Western States viz. Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and some parts of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, have very good potential of setting up grid connected solar power projects in the country. However, a comprehensive survey of land for setting up of solar projects, has not been carried out in any state.

Statement
Statement referred to in Reply to parts (a) to (d) of Rajya Sabha Starred Question No. 179 to be answered on 19/08/2013 regarding ‘JNNSM projects to Private companies’
The requisite information, part‐wise, is as under: (a): Private companies have been awarded solar power projects under the Jawaharlal Nehru Solar Mission (JNNSM) since January 2010 when the Mission was launched, under different schemes implemented through the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) Limited and the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA). Details thereof are furnished in Appendix‐I. (b): The developers were selected through a competitive tariff based reverse bidding process in case of the large capacity (5 MW and above) projects awarded through NVVN. The small capacity (upto 2 MW) projects were awarded through IREDA. There have been no direct revenue receipts to the Government from such awards. (c): Project‐wise details of electricity generated from the commissioned solar power projects are furnished in Appendix‐II. (d): No cases of irregularities have been reported. However, penalties have been levied on the Solar Power Developers (SPDs) in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in the Bid Documents/ Guidelines/ Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), etc. as mentioned below: (i) Schemes implemented through NVVN:
Two SPDs could not establish the Net worth post Letter of Intent (LoI) leading to cancellation of LoI and encashment of Bank Guarantees (BGs) and one SPD could not meet the conditions of financial closure leading to cancellation of PPA and encashment of BGs. Several SPDs commissioned their projects beyond the stipulated time frame. Hence Liquidated Damages for delay were imposed on them and their Bank Guarantees were en‐cashed as per the Guidelines issued by MNRE and PPAs signed with NVVN. In case of four SPDs, PPAs have also been terminated due to non‐commissioning by cut‐off dates as per MNRE Guidelines /PPA provisions. Detailed statement of BGs en‐cashed and receipts through levy of Liquidated Damages by NVVN is furnished in Appendix‐III.
(ii) Schemes implemented through IREDA:
Six SPDs could not commission Solar PV power projects of aggregate 6.25 MW capacity awarded to them under RPSSGP Scheme and hence their projects were removed from the scheme. Several SPDs commissioned their projects beyond the stipulated time frame. Hence their Bank Guarantees were en‐cashed as per the Guidelines issued by MNRE. Detailed statement of BGs en‐cashed by IREDA is furnished in Appendix‐IV. Appendix–I

DELAY IN PROJECTS UNDER JNNSM 26th August, 2013
RSQ 1800
SHRI N. BALAGANGA
(a) whether it is a fact that large number of projects under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) are delayed;
(b) if so, the details thereof and the reasons therefor; and (c) the action taken by Government to complete the projects and to take action against those responsible for such delays?
THE MINISTER OF NEW AND RENEWABLE ENERGY (DR. FAROOQ ABDULLAH)
(a)&(b): No, Sir. Out of a total 159 nos. / 1152 MW grid-connected solar power projects allotted under the JNNSM, 132nos. /627 MW projects have been commissioned within their scheduled commissioning date (SCOD). Installation of only 5 nos. / 32 MW Solar PV projects and 6 nos./ 420 MW Solar Thermal projects has been delayed beyond initially specified time limit with payment of penalties. In case of Solar PV projects, developers have reported the delays due mainly to local law and order problem and to delays in construction of transmission lines. In case of the Solar Thermal projects, the main common reason for the delay reported by the developers has been the low direct solar radiation (DNI) levels found by them at the project sites as per actual measurements made after the projects were allotted than those estimated initially, necessitating significant oversizing of solar collectors field and re-engineering of their plants designs.
(c): In case of the Solar PV Projects, Performance Bank Guarantees given by the developers have been en- cashed and Liquidated Damages have been charged as per initial provisions under Ministry’s Guidelines/ PPAs. It has been decided to accept such projects with payment of additional penalties (in case of projects allotted through NVVN) / reduction in tariff (in case of projects allotted through IREDA). In case of the Solar Thermal Projects, the Government has extended the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) of the delayed solar thermal power projects by 10 months from May 2013 to March 2014 to allow the solar thermal power developers to complete their projects without imposition of penalties.
