The Government of India recognizes that development of local, renewable resources is critical to ensure that it is able to meet both its economic and environmental objectives, and it has promoted this development through policy action. The Indian economy has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years. Energy, in all its forms, underpins both past and future growth. For the Indian economy to continue this trajectory, India needs to address its energy challenges, which cross all sectors and impact all citizens. Electricity—both in terms of quality and access—is a key challenge. The quality of the current electricity supply is impeding India’s economic growth. Issues such as voltage fluctuation, frequency variation, spikes, black-outs, brown-outs, and other disruptions impact industrial, commercial, and residential consumers. The addition of grid- tied renewable power can help address these issues. The gap between the demand of customers connected to the grid and the available electricity supply reported by the Central Electricity Authority for 2009–2010 was almost 84 TWh, which is 10% of the total requirement. The peak demand deficit was more than 15 GW, corresponding to a shortage of 12.7%. Closing this gap will be critical for India to achieve its growth targets, and renewable energy has the potential to improve energy security and reduce dependence on imported fuels and electricity while striving to meet those goals. Much of India’s population is not experiencing the benefits of economic growth. The Government of India sees the provision of electricity to all as critical to inclusive growth. It recognizes off-grid renewable energy as a practical, cost-effective alternative to an expansion of grid systems in remote areas of the country. To be able to provide adequate electricity to its population, India needs to more than double its current installed capacity to over 300 GW by 2017. Also, India’s demand for oil in 2015 is expected to be 41% higher than in 2007 and almost 150% higher in 2030—needed primarily to feed a growing

This paper presents the results of a detailed analysis undertaken for 9 September 2014 estimating the potential of solar thermal power generation in India. A comprehensive framework is developed Accepted 20 October 2014 that takes into account (i) the availability of wastelands (ii) Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) (iii) wastelands that are habitat to endangered species and/or tribal population and/or that is prone to earthquakes and (iv) Keywords: suitability of wasteland for wind power generation. Finally, using an approach developed for the allocation of Solar thermal power generation wastelands suitable for solar power generation between thermal and photovoltaic routes, the potential of solar Concentrated Solar Power thermal power generation is assessed for two threshold values of DNI – 1800 kW h/m2 and 2000 kW h/m2. Potential Estimation for India With all the wastelands having wind speeds of 4 m/s or more allocated for wind power generation, the estimated potential for solar thermal power generation is 756 GW for a threshold DNI value of 1800 kW h/m2 and 229 GW for a threshold DNI value of 2000 kW h/m2.
