New Delhi, Mar 11 (PTI) India presently has the potential of about 89,000 MW of power generation from various renewable energy sources out of which the government aims to add about 55,000 MW capacity in the next 10 years, the Lok Sabha was told today. This was stated in a written reply by Minister of New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah. Quoting various studies, Abdullah said the potential estimate of 89,000 MW was excluding solar energy, which has been estimated for most parts of the country at around "20 MW per sq km of open shadow-free area covered with solar collectors". The Minister said, as per the government's vision document on power generation through renewable sources, in the next 10 years about 55,000 MW new renewable energy capacity would be added. He said a total grid interactive renewable power generation capacity of around 18,842 MW has been set up as on January 31, 2011, which is over 11 per cent of the total power generation installed capacity from all sources in the country. As per figures, Karnataka has a estimated potential to generate 14,011 MW renewable energy through wind power, biomass power, bagass cogeneration and waste energy, followed by Gujarat at 12,525 MW. He said the targetted 55,000 MW of clean energy included 20,000 mw from solar power envisaged under the national solar mission. Of this, 1,100 mw is envisaged in the first phase of the mission till 2012-13 and the balance in the 2nd and 3rd phases till march 2022, he said. The remaining capacity of 35,000 mw is envisaged from other renewable energy sources. Abdullah said the power generated from sugarcane waste stood at surplus 1,603 mw based on sugarcane bagasse co-generation set up in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab and other states.
