 BACKGROUND

As on 31st March, 1990 Renewable Energy Sources (RES) capacity was 18 MW and generation
during the year 1989-90 was 6 MU. Initially the annual capacity addition was very slow, but from
2008 onwards the contribution from RES is considerable. As on 31st March, 2012 the RES capacity
was 24503.45 MW and generation during the year 2011-12 is expected to be 51226 MU (provisional).
The growth of installed capacity and the growth of gross electrical energy generation from RES since
1989-90 onwards is given below:-

 As on 31st March, 2012, the percentage share of RES in total generation capacity was 12.26%
which is expected to increase to 17.12% by 31st March, 2017. The percentage share of RES in total
generation in the country during 2011-12 was around 5.5 %.

The compilation as indicated below is provisional and would be updated on receipt of updated
information from State Load Despatch Centres (SLDC) and State Nodal Agencies (SNA).
