SHRI KODIKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): Madam, it is a very important issue… (Interruptions) A dalit youth has been murdered… (Interruptions) HON. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, it is not like that.

Question No. 321 – Shrimati Meenakshi Lekhi --- Not present. … (Interruptions) 19.03.2015 :: am/ks Uncorrected / Not for Publication 11 Q. 321 DR. P. VENUGOPAL (TIRUVALLUR): Hon. Speaker, the hon. Minister has stated that the synchronization of power under wind energy corridor has not commenced. He has also stated that the State of Tamil Nadu is to be provided with Rs. 637.20 crore for creation of intra-State transmission for renewable power allocation. As such there are many MNCs in the wind power generation projects in Tamil Nadu and the Government of Tamil Nadu has been requesting the Centre for long to provide transmission system in both intra-State and inter-State. The fact is that our visionary leader hon. Amma has taken up the Green House Scheme in a big way establishing a separate grid with synchronization facilities offered from inter-State transmission. It will help the State of Tamil Nadu to become an investment destination to get more electricity for more manufacturing activities. I would like to know from the hon. Minister whether, the State of Tamil Nadu with an approved fund, the Centre will accord priority to get synchronized transmission system at the earliest. (b/1105/ru-bks) SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL: Madam Speaker, I must compliment the State of Tamil Nadu and its former Chief Minister and leader, hon. Amma, for having given a thrust to renewable energy in the State of Tamil Nadu. I am very happy that one of the first States to benefit from the Green Energy Corridor is Tamil Nadu .which has received Rs. 637 crore commitment from National Clean Energy Fund to create an additional intra-State facility and the Central Government, through PGCIL, will create an additional inter-State facility to ensure that adequate green energy is transmitted within and outside the State. I am also very happy to inform the House that 76 million Euro loan has been sanctioned by KFW, Germany at a very nominal interest rate of 1.63 per cent with a tenure of 15 years of which the first five years is a moratorium. I have been assured additional thrust by the State Government in my recent visit when I had 19.03.2015 :: am/ks Uncorrected / Not for Publication 12 extensive meetings with the Chief Minister of the State Government, the Energy Minister and the officials of Tamil Nadu.
