New Delhi Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh 4th August, 2021 Chairperson, 13 Sravana, 1943 (Saka) Standing Committee on Energy 8 REPORT PART I NARRATION ANALYSIS CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY 1.1 As per the Government of India’ Allocation of Business Rules, 1961, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy inter-alia has been entrusted with the subject matter pertaining to Tidal Energy. 1.2 Ocean Energy refers to all forms of renewable energy derived from the Sea. There are three main types of Ocean Energy: Wave, Tidal and Ocean- Thermal. Tidal Energy is harnessed by converting energy from natural rise and fall of ocean tides and currents to electricity. Wave Energy in the form of motion of ocean waves can be extracted using energy conversion devices. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is based on generation of electricity utilizing the temperature difference between warm surface seawater and cold seawater at around 1,000 meters depth. 1.3 All forms of Ocean Energy are at an early stage of development. Tidal Energy Projects have been deployed globally in only a few locations where there is a strong tidal resource. Wave Energy and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) technologies are still at an experimental stage. 1.4 India has been playing an active role in harnessing of Renewable Energy in order to mitigate climate change. The Government has set a target to install 175 Giga-watts of Renewable power by the year 2022. However, Tidal Power has not been included in this target despite the fact that our Country is surrounded by sea on three sides and has a long coastline of around 7500 Kilometers with the estuaries and gulfs where Tidal Power can be harnessed. 9 CHAPTER II HARNESSING OF TIDAL POWER A. Global Scenario: 2.1 About the status regarding harnessing of Tidal Power in the World, the Ministry furnished the following: “Tidal Energy represents the smallest share (approx. 535 MW) of global installed capacity of Renewable Energy. Two Tidal Energy Projects, namely the 240 MW La Rance station in France (installed in 1966) and the 254 MW Sihwa plant in South Korea (installed in 2011), constitute more than 90% of the total installed capacity of Tidal Energy. At present Tidal Energy technologies are not cost competitive and the main focus is on technology development.” 2.2 On being asked about the capital cost and tariff of 240 MW project in France and 254 MW project in South Korea, the Ministry stated as under: “As per the report ‘Tidal Energy: Technology Brief’ published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in 2014, the estimated cost for 240 MW tidal power project in France and 254 MW tidal power project in South Korea were USD 817 million and USD 298 million respectively. The report also states that levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) for tidal power are in the range of EUR 0.25- 0.47/kWh with the lower range LCOE estimates based on high capacity factors and low capital cost estimates.” B. Initiatives taken in India: 2.3 Regarding efforts made in India to harness Tidal Power, the Ministry furnished the following: “In the 1980s, Government of India initiated efforts to assess the tidal energy potential in the Country. Initial surveys suggested that the Gulf of Kambhat and the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat and the Gangetic delta in the Sunderbans in West Bengal have tidal energy potential. Based on these surveys, two projects of 3.75 MW and 50 MW installed capacity were initiated in West Bengal and Gujarat.” 10 2.4 About the 3.75 MW Durgaduani Tidal Power Project in West Bengal, the Ministry stated as under: “MNRE sanctioned a demonstration project to West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) in October, 2007 for setting up of 3.75 MW capacity tidal energy plant at Durgaduani creek in the Sunderbans region at an estimated cost of Rs. 48 crore. An amount of Rs. 3 crore was released for this project. However, only one bid was received for the project and the project cost was placed at Rs 238 crore (i.e. Rs. 63.5 crore per MW). In view of such an exorbitant cost, the Government of West Bengal decided to drop the tidal energy project. MNRE grant was subsequently refunded by WBREDA.” 2.5 Regarding 50 MW Tidal Power Project in Gujarat, the Ministry furnished the following: “In 2011, the Government of Gujarat signed an MoU with M/s Atlantis Resources Limited (based in United Kingdom) for carrying out studies and for implementing a 50 MW Pilot Tidal energy project in the Gulf of Kutch at Mandvi. The Government of Gujarat sanctioned Rs. 70 crore as financial assistance for the project. Meanwhile, M/s Atlantis Resources Ltd. estimated the cost of the project at Rs 750 crore (i.e. Rs. 15 crore per MW). Due to techno-economic non-viability of the project, it was dropped by the Government of Gujarat. No financial assistance was sanctioned for the project by the Government of India.” 2.6 In 2012, West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) made more attempts to harness Tidal Power; the information in this regard as furnished by the Ministry, is given below: “In 2012, WBREDA informed that M/s Blue Water, headquartered in the Netherlands, approached WBREDA and offered turn-key solutions for generating power from river and tidal currents.
